SETTING UP A COACHING PROGRAM

In the field of Coaching, the great majority of coaching sessions are part of a Coaching Program, and not a one-off event. I don’t know and have never seen statistics on this, but my sense is that this is true of 95% of Coaching Conversations. And when it comes to Coaching Programs, there are two broad categories.

1) You set up a series of Coaching Sessions based on your niche, your style, and your subject. This may be as few as three sessions and as many as 20 or 30. Typically Coaching Programs run from 7 to 10.

2) You are invited into a business or an organization and given a Coaching Assignment to coach one or more persons. You may work with front-line people, middle managers, senior managers, groups in the organization, or high potential individuals. Such Coaching Assignments also range from just a few sessions (3 to 5) to sessions over half-a-year or over an entire year.
