Coaching For Success
What is coaching?
Coaching is one of the most effective resources in personal and professional development. It is a co-creative process that capitalizes on the existing wisdom of the client coupled with the specific skills of the coach. Together, the coach and client work to map out and execute a development plan that guarantees positive results for both the client and their company. Coaching is a method of development that catalyzes the capacity for learning and growth and helps those in leadership positions sort through options for improvement to make clear decisions. Coaching conversations open a wisdom channel between heart and mind, so that people are valued in the process of building and maintaining a successful business.
Coaching = Partnership + Wisdom + Action
Coaching is a means of evoking effectiveness, high performance, efficiency, direction, focus and bottom line profit. It is also a means of evoking fulfillment, happiness, sustainable personal growth, creativity and a sense of wellbeing. Masterful coaching is about eliciting both lists – together. |

Style & Format: Coaching happens on the telephone and in-person, one-on-one and in groups. There is no set formula for achieving success, and as good coaching is individually based and client-driven, we believe that the appropriate format for each client emerges organically in the conversation between coach and client. We offer several coaching plans with various lengths of time and number of sessions. In-person meetings obviously depend on the client’s locale; we have worked quite successfully both face to face with local clientele and over the phone with individuals across nation. |
How does the Coaching process work?
- There is no cookie cutter approach : sessions are designed around participants’ goals/needs
- Fieldwork: participants are given formulas, new perspectives, or challenges to try something a new way. Each fieldwork period lasts for the time between calls - - one to two weeks. Assignments are kept short and meaningful.
- The coach is a resource: participants can call or email if they are “stuck.” They may need to share a victory or get feedback. Unscheduled calls are limited to 5 – 10 minutes.
- The coaching is CONFIDENTIAL: the coach does not report the content of coaching conversations to anyone.
- The coach’s work is to coach the client: a coach will evoke answers about goals, managing others, and taking care of yourself.
- Coaches work primarily by phone: the coach wants to fit into the business flow. Telephoning makes it easy to stay in the coaching relationship from anywhere. The coaches have been trained to use finely honed listening skills very well via phone.
- There is a choice: participants have the option of working with a coach who is comfortable match.
- You make the call: the participant calls the coach at an appropriately scheduled time.
“Having experienced the product and Jeannie’s work, and listening to my co-workers who have also completed the process with her, I am extremely satisfied and supportive of Jeannie and her delivery of coaching skills. I can honestly say that my work with Jeannie has given me a serious and successful paradigm shift in how I view myself and my current work in leadership and the coaching industry. I highly recommend Jeannie to anyone who is committed to the path of self-awareness and personal and professional development.”

Thanks again Jeannie for your guidance!”
