Personal Coaching

As a new client of Momentum, you will receive a Welcome Packet that contains everything needed to begin your coaching process.

Foundation Session
The Foundation Session is the first session, and is used for establishing and designing the coaching relationship.  Three hours in length, this initial session can be divided into two appointments.  The Foundation Session is intensive and delves deeply into the client’s major life areas.  In addition, discussion of the client’s most significant aspirations, goals, and values aids in a full and clear understanding of the client.  

Materials to help the client in preparing for the Foundation Session are included in the Welcome Packet.  At the end of the Foundation Session, clients feel focused and committed to their goals and often have identifiable steps and time tables in place.  They are ready to begin the coaching process … and ready to start creating their own momentum!

Regular Appointments
Clients of Momentum have regularly scheduled appointments.  Appointments are 40 minutes in length and occur weekly, three times per month.  Conveniently, coaching is done over the telephone, with the client calling in at the appointment time from home or the office.  Since coaching is about moving forward toward the client’s goals, the direction for each session is chosen by the client.  Preparation worksheets are provided to help the client determine their focus for the sessions.

Commitment to Coaching
Coaching sessions are powerful, and much can be achieved within an appointment.  However, new clients of Momentum are asked for an initial four month commitment to the coaching process.  Integrating strategies, adopting new habits, and changing life patterns are successes that can best be seen over the course of time. After the initial four month commitment, coaching continues, as the client wishes, on a month-to-month basis. 

Overwhelmingly, most clients find that coaching is a worthwhile use of time, energy and resources.  Very often, clients find the initial coaching commitment to be a jumping-off point and continue their relationship with Momentum.  In fact, according to a recent study by the International Coach Federation (ICF), the average length of a coaching partnership is 8.8 months.  In the same ICF study, researchers found that 98.5 % of clients say they would hire their coach again.

E-Coaching
E-Coaching is available to all Momentum clients as a service between coaching appointments.  Clients may e-mail with a situation that needs coaching and will receive a response intended to create thought, to stimulate learning, or to get them going in a different direction.
