What is Coaching?

Most of us are familiar with the concept of a coach in sports: a coach is the person who observes, supports and nurtures the talents of the players. Good coaches inspire players to surpass their own expectations of themselves and their talents.

Professional life coaching is very similar. As life coaches, we help you, the client, set clearer, better goals and then assist you in reaching those goals. How? In my own practice, I utilize a number of coaching techniques . I act as a mirror for you--listening, supporting and reflecting back your thoughts. I provide tools, structure and ideas to help you hone the skills you need to fulfill your goals, whatever they might be. I bring all the knowledge and insight I have gained after almost 20 years counseling parents and teens to our consultations. And all of this comes to you at a fraction of the cost of standard therapy sessions and from the convenience of your own home.

Individual Coaching

As my individual coaching client, you will work directly with me so that I can provide you with the highest degree of customization in your program. During our first call, you and I will discuss the process of coaching, set goals, and design an individualized plan to help achieve these goals. Throughout our coaching relationship, you will explore many different avenues to personal growth and professional development. Some popular goals among my current clients are to:

	Become a more effective parent
	Reduce Stress
	Work more efficiently, both at home and at the office
	Improve communication with family members and at work
	Bring greater balance to their lives
	Bring greater joy into their lives
	Overcome lifelong habits that sabotage success

Small Group Coaching

I can also arrange to coach small groups of clients, typically 3-5 participants, who have a common goal or shared interest. Examples of common goals are:

	Parenting difficult teens with love and compassion
	Managing Stress
	Bringing greater awareness to relationship issues

Using this format, my job is to facilitate discussion around personal goals and common issues. As the coach, I will teach the participants to use specific tools to improve their lives. AS in group therapy, participants form a supportive structure to share ideas, resources, and knowledge. The small group format is an extremely powerful way to improve your life. If you have interest in participating in a small group or you have a small group already assembled, contact drjeff@parentingteenstoday.com.

Coaching Costs

Individuals can expect to pay approximately $300 a month for four one-on-one sessions with me. Group rates will depend on the number of participants in each group.
