After beginning work with a new client, I often spend a few months helping them understand how to best use my coaching support. There is a period of presenting options for deeper work together. Over time I’ve started capturing the various topics I’ve worked on with my clients in our coaching. If you are a curious voyeur or tire-kicker here is a partial list of ways I’ve supported my clients:
Prepare you to give feedback to an employee or colleague by providing a specific format, prepping a script, and doing a practice run.
Review and provide comments on a pitch deck for potential investors.
Help you understand how intense experiences from your past impact how you are leading your company and creating your life and then work towards integrating them.
Prepare you to ask for a new title and/or a raise.
