Most Personal Coaches as well as many Executive Coaches get much of their business by doing an Introduction Session.

Set Your Own Intention: The purpose of an intro. session is to introduce what coaching is to the client and your unique style and way of doing coaching. Doing that will help qualify whether a particular person is ready and able to enter a coaching relationships. Doing that also helps the person to know precisely what they are buying when they purchase a coaching contract and what they are not buying. For coaches in countries where coaching is still pretty new, this helps them to distinguish coaching from consulting and training.

Pre-frame the Intro. Session: “This session is designed so that you can get a sense of what the coaching experience is like. You will learn about my coaching style and together we’ll figure out if we have the chemistry between us to engage in a coaching program. I’ll be explaining the difference between coaching and consulting or training. I will also be asking lots of coaching questions about your goals and dreams for making your life better and about the changes that you want to make.”
