Frequently Asked Questions
- How does coaching happen? Do we meet face to face or is it on the telephone?
Coaching can be done on the telephone or in person. I have coached people all over the United States by telephone and it has been very successful. For individuals wanting to meet in person locally I do make arrangements with the client to meet them.
- What do you do in a coaching session? Do I have to take tests? What tools do you use to help me? How is it different from counseling?
The coaching sessions are designed by the client and the coach in the intake session, which is the first meeting. The length of the sessions can range from 30 minutes to one hour. Coaching is about helping the client to move forward with their life so the client is responsible with the help of the coach to define the direction the coaching will be taking. The coach will use a variety of tools to help the client be successful with their goals.
Coaching varies from counseling as it begins from where you are now and moves forward vs. the possibility of looking at your past.
- Is the coaching just you and me or is it in a group?
The coaching sessions are just between the client and the coach and all information is confidential. You do have the option of signing up for a teleclass if you would prefer working in a group.
- How long will I have to work with a coach?
The length of time you work with a coach is decided at the intake session. A typical length of time is any where from four to twelve months.
- My whole family/work group could use your help. Could you meet with us as a group?
Yes, I have worked with groups. But then the design is a little different which includes group work and individuals work so that both the group and individuals are addressed.
-
My church/organization/business would like to have you come talk to us. Do you do presentations on grief?
Doing presentations on grief is a wonderful opportunity and I am always ready to talk to churches, organizations and businesses. I prefer to design each presentation on the needs of the group.
- How much does it cost?
Packages vary between individual and group work. Please contact Rita at Rgold112@aol.com.
