My Coaching Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The journey begins with a get-acquainted session where we review your test results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the TestColor Personality Test. This is complemented by feedback on your responses to a questionnaire about your current circumstances. This initial consultation allows both of us to determine if that is enough direction for you or if you prefer to go through the in-depth process I use to help you find your way.
Crafting Your Autobiography
If you choose to move forward, the next step is to write a three-part autobiography using the outline from Nancy Anderson’s Work With Passion in Midlife and Beyond. This autobiography will explore your grandparents’ and parents’ beliefs about money, work, and relationships and extend to your present situation. The purpose of the autobiography is to reveal what holds you back from doing the work you enjoy since clues to the origin of these obstacles can often be found in the past. Secondly, writing your story in chronological order helps you to see yourself and others as characters in a novel. As themes emerge, you view your life from a fresh perspective.
Insightful Feedback and Self-Discovery
As you complete sections of your story, you will email them to me prior to our meetings so I can read and digest your work. During our sessions, I provide detailed feedback on patterns observed in your life history, natural strengths, and areas to avoid. If you are or have been in therapy, our work together will complement that process.
Moving Forward with Confidence
Once your autobiography is complete, we proceed to the next stages of self-discovery. This includes identifying your core values, setting achievable goals, researching career opportunities, conducting interviews, landing the right job, and exploring avenues for creating a business or practice. This work engages your body, mind, and soul, and we often find many reasons to laugh along the way. After all, having fun while we learn is a reasonable expectation.
Ongoing Support and Consultation
After completing the core steps, I offer continued support for job-related and personal matters. Depending on your preference, sessions can be conducted online via Zoom or phone. If you have questions about my services, please get in touch.
