Architecture of a Coaching Engagement
Let's pull back the curtain and show you what a coaching engagement with me actually looks like.
Overall Format
Most engagements start with a 6-month process meeting weekly or bi-weekly, typically for 60 to 90 minutes per virtual session. If proximity and budget allow, in-person meetings may be included. The below four areas outline the engagement process.
Session Rhythm
-
Updates & Anchoring: We start by checking in on the work you've done between sessions—the experiments, reflections, the new moves you've tried. We look at how things are evolving. Then we anchor: we start by centering your mind and inner system, then revisit your overall engagement objectives to ground in the chosen direction. We identify the best area of focus for this particular meeting.
-
Practical Application: We use the challenges that are most alive for you at this moment. Not theoretical problems or hypothetical scenarios, but the real, complicated situations you're actually facing right now. We explore them together, building awareness—how you're relating to the situation, how you're making meaning of it, what patterns are showing up.
-
Perspective & Possibility: Then we open up new lenses for seeing. And through those lenses we expand the space of possibility, of choice and options for you. Throughout the process I notice what's not being said. I see patterns you've lived inside until they became invisible. I tune in to the energy behind your words and ideas. We generate insights together.
-
Progressing Forward: From these insights, we decide on next steps—specific actions, experiments, reflection exercises, or practices that will progress your thinking, your being, and your doing.​​​
What You'll Walk Away With
After a six month engagement, you won't just have new skills or strategies (though you'll have those too). You'll have something deeper:
​
-
A clearer sense of who you are as a leader—your values, your vision, your unique way of creating impact.
-
Greater self-awareness—of your patterns, your blindspots, your growth edges, and your strengths.
-
A more expansive way of thinking—able to hold complexity, navigate paradox, and see multiple perspectives simultaneously.
-
Concrete practices and experiments you can continue to use long after our work together ends.
-
A network of support and resources tailored to your ongoing development.
-
A story of transformation that you can carry forward—a narrative of growth that reminds you what's possible.
