My standard coaching cycle

 

The coaching and mentoring approaches that have worked best for me in the past have used a modular approach, with a core of sessions to orient and evaluate, combined with a number of prioritised modules, or projects focusing on certain areas.

 

Clients tend to come to me from a variety of starting points. Some are mainly after strength, movement and mobility, and so we focus on health and wellness with less emphasis on impact and change. Some are the exact opposite, so mainly wanting to work with me on business ventures, and then bringing in just enough health and wellness to stay in balance. 

 

While coaching and advisory relationships come in all shapes and sizes, and will vary if I am working with individuals or teams or broader organisations, or in formal capacities such as non-executive or advisory board roles, a basic cycle I normally suggest as a starting point

a 10-session series, over 10-20 weeks, or at your pace. Again in regards to prices there is a range depending on specifics, but usually these will start from GBP2,000 for an initial series, and then can move to a per-session or per-block of sessions pricing for any continuing work.

​

For each session together, I'll invest time also in preparing and following up, and to get the most out of our work together, I hope you too will commit to investing some good focus time in between sessions.

​

Health journeys

Over the first sessions we'll share with each other our health journeys, from childhood through to our future goals.

​​

Impact journeys

We'll then do the same with impact, through structured conversations about choices in our careers and lessons learned

​​

Life design

Next, we'll use design thinking approaches to brainstorm areas to explore together and confirm priorities.

​​

Focus sessions 

Then we'll run a few focused sessions around that priority,

 

Reflection 

and reflect on our experience together to decide any next steps. 

​

I hope you can find this a useful, loosely structured way we might work together.

​

Thanks and have a great day,

Gary
