How is coaching delivered?
The system of coaching delivery varies from coach to coach. Finding a method that suits you is imperative. Some life coaches work face-to-face with their clients and offer telephone and email back-up and support. Other coaching sessions are conducted solely over the telephone or via email.
Some coaches provide group coaching such as tele-classes (a weekly group coaching call). Sessions can be anything from half-an-hour to two hours at weekly, fortnightly or monthly intervals depending on the coaching program being offered and your specific needs. The best coaching programs include “homework” – essentially course work designed to lock-in the learning between sessions.
Can I hire a coach for a special project?
Yes. Some clients hire a coach to help them accomplish specific goals or projects. Usually, however, the client keeps working with the coach after that because there are even more interesting things to accomplish.
What does it cost to hire a coach?
The cost depends on the service provided. Most coaches working with individuals charge about $100 to $150 per hour. Executive coaches charge more and some clients work with a coach for $US400 to $US1500 per month for an hour or two a week. Obviously, corporate coaching or programs are more, often running $US1,000 to $US10,000 per month.
Why is coaching becoming so popular?
People around the world are realizing how simple it can be to accomplish something that only a few years ago might have felt out of reach. More and more of us understand that the only limitations we have are the ones we set ourselves. So many people are tired of doing what they "should" do and are ready to do something special and meaningful for the rest of their lives. The only problem is, many can't see what that may be, or if they can, they can't see a way to reorient their life around it. A coach can help them do both.
