What to expect from the coaching ?
1. What is the process?
Time to Think coaching is a collaborative process that focuses on creating a 'Thinking Environment' for you. This means your coach will listen attentively and ask insightful questions to help you explore your thoughts and challenges freely. There's no advice-giving, just focused support to unlock your own best thinking.
2. What do I expect?
Expect a safe and supportive space to explore your goals and challenges. The coach will listen actively and ask questions that help you gain clarity, identify solutions, and develop a plan of action.
3. What do I need to prepare?
Come with the transition challenge you'd like to focus on. There's no need for extensive preparation, just a willingness to think and reflect.
4. What is the outcome?
The outcome is for you to gain greater clarity, overcome obstacles, and develop a plan of action. You'll leave feeling empowered and ready to take action.
5. How many sessions would I need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals. Some people benefit from a single session, while others choose a series of sessions for ongoing support.
6. Will it be awkward?
It's normal to feel a little unsure at first. However, the coach's role is to create a comfortable space for open thinking. The more you participate, the smoother the process becomes.
7. What if I have nothing to say?
Silence is okay! The coach will use questions and prompts to guide you. Often, taking a moment to think can lead to breakthroughs.
8. Will it be private and confidential?
Yes, all discussions are confidential.
9. What will I get out of this?
You'll gain improved self-awareness, and increased confidence in making decisions as you transition to Life 2.0.
10. How is this different from mentoring?
Mentoring often involves guidance and advice from a more experienced person. Time to Think coaching focuses on drawing out your own thinking and solutions, empowering you to take ownership of your goals.
