Coaching Formats
Option 1: Issue Specific
This type of session is hands-on. We schedule 1-3 hours depending on your need to address a specific challenge your company is facing. During the session we will create a roadmap for you and start building a solution to address your needs. For example, if you are struggling to engage audiences through your social media platforms we will build out a social media strategy and discuss what you can do daily/weekly to start implementing the strategy so you can see results right away. If you would like to create a strategy to launch your business we build out your goals and identify key steps during this session.
Option 2: Goal Setting & Accountability
This type of session is scheduled on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. During the first session we will identify a clear set of goals you would like to work towards. In each following session we will discuss how you are doing, provide accountability to those goals and help point you in the direction of tools, resources and contacts that can help you reach your outcomes.
Option 3: Strategy & Brainstorming
It is often lonely to be a leader of a company or organization and it can be difficult to find the right people to bounce ideas with and to generate new options or a fresh perspective. If you would benefit from talking through a challenge or brainstorming solutions this option will work well for you.
