Grief Coach Los Angeles :: FAQ

What is Coaching?
All of us would have everything we want in life if there were not something blocking or stopping us, and the process of Coaching will assist you to remove all obstacles that are in your way.   

Coaching is a new technology of personal and professional development which is comprised from the best concepts from  psychology, spirtuality, sports, business, and organizational development.  

It's for passionate people who are no longer willing to live in pain or settle for the status quo; if you want more from your personal and business life, I will help you remove the blocks and assist you in developing a strategy and provide support throughout the process. It's not unlike having a personal trainer or an athletic coach... transformational, but in a personal sense. The achievement of goals is something that comes more quickly as a result of the coaching partnership.

Why does coaching work?
Coaching works when there are two factors present:

1) You  are willing to grow, and                                                                                                                                       

2) There is a gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Successful coaching clients know the value of sharing ideas with someone who understands them, hears them, and  is willing to take new actions that lead to a new life experience and outcome.

Coaching works because of three unique features:

1. SYNERGY: Client and coach become a team, focusing on the client's goals and needs and accomplishing more than the client would alone
2. STRUCTURE: With a coach, the client takes more actions, thinks bigger and gets the job done, thanks to the accountability the coach provides
3. EXPERTISE: The coach knows how to help business people make better decisions, set the best goals, develop new skills for communicating and restructure their professional and personal lives for maximum productivity

Where do you start with a coach?
We will begin with an initial 1.5 hour meeting or call to get to know each other. I want to hear about your challenges, goals, needs and history.  I also want you to feel comfortable so you will have the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. During our meeting we will design a list of goals and create a game plan to reach your goals.

How do the coaching sessions work?
I offer Coaching over the phone or in my West Hollywood/Beverly Hills office.  Coaching is easy for you as you can call from your office, home, car, hotel; mix and vary in person sessions with phone sessions as you desire.  Most Clients are coached one hour per week for a duration of 12 weeks or more.

The focus of the call is determined by you.  I assist you to solve your challenges and make the most of the opportunities. When there are principles or distinctions to make, I will draw upon the awarness so you can see your situation with more clarity. Coaching brings out your best answers to your challenge via a conscious exploration and releasing obstacles  that are causing you pain.  You can expect to choose new beliefs and perspectives that support your desired outcome or goal, and you will experience more joy in your life.
