Coaching roadmap
“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.”
Naeem Callaway, Founder/CEO of Get Out The Box, Inc.

Tips for success
-
Be willing to experiment with fresh approaches and be open to redesigning some parts of your life
Come prepared by reflecting before and after the session
Prioritize working on yourself and goals outside of sessions
-
Typically sessions are 45 min to 60 min. During that time you as the client come ready with the agenda and what you want to work on. During the hour, the coach will help draw out deeper discoveries around the agenda, potential obstacles, and solutions. Finally, the session will end with you walking away with clear action steps (that you thought of) to keep pursuing your goals.
-
Check coaches’ credentialing for coaching. ICF accreditation is the gold standard for coaching.
Book a free consultation with a coach. Chat with them. Do you connect well? Does the coach make you feel at ease? Do you feel comfortable and safe? Try to interview multiple coaches to see which one is the best fit.
Does the coach offer what you are looking for? What’s the reason why you are seeking a coach? Know how coaching differs from mentorship and therapy.
Pricing. The pricing ranges. Check affordability and availability.
“As I shared my concerns, Ashley listened and created a warm and safe environment to be transparent during our sessions. Through each of our sessions, she helped instill more confidence in me and equipped me with the right tools to make proper changes to help achieve my goals. Ashley was super patient, passionate, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend her!”
