Answering your questions about the coaching...
How is this coaching different from “talk” coaching?
I use somatic (body based) techniques that help you focus on sensations and tensions to release them from unpleasant memories. Once you no longer have an unpleasant emotion with a memory, it no longer bothers you. We also use breathwork, visualization, tapping (emotion focused techniques), parts-work to help parts of your inner self work together better and mid-brain processing that helps you notice, accept and calm any remaining activation around a work wound. I have training and multiple certifications for these modalities and am a certified coach and practitioner.
Once you have sustained emotional regulation and feel better, we can strategize for your career development, do job market research, and engage the cognitive parts of your brain that earlier may not have been available to you.
Does this coaching go into past traumas?
You may have memories of past traumas during coaching, but we do not go into the details, the coaching helps you know how to keep your nervous system safe so you never have to relive past traumas, but can move forward with your life and work.
If I decide to go ahead, what is the process?
We start with a Career Breakthrough call, and identify your goals and challenges. From that call you will already feel some relief and have an insight you can use. If you decide to go ahead with a coaching package, you decide on the one that feels right for you, choose a payment plan and three starter goals to work towards.
The goals, package details and payment plan are sent to you in a coaching agreement which you sign digitally, then you receive your client intake form and first invoice.
You can book your first session once the first invoice is paid.
What is my ROI on coaching?
It is specific to each person, but many clients find they have better work and family relationships as a result of coaching. They typically receive a promotion or find a better paying job within the duration of the coaching sessions. Coaching costs see faster results than any other type of training or education. Without coaching you can still make career progress but coaching helps you see results that are faster, more effective and enduring.
What if it doesn’t work out, can I get a refund?
Unless there is a severe health issue or natural disaster there is no refund for coaching. However if you really feel unhappy about the process, we can discuss a compromise.
If my issues are related to deeper traumas should I see a psychologist instead?
Many of my clients see psychologists or other health professionals but find that for their career wounds, my specific coaching is most effective. It is a bit like thinking about your physical health: you would see a doctor for illness, a dentist for teeth issues and an optometrist for eye problems. A career wound coach works specifically for moving people out of career distress into career success. You may need other health or mental health professionals as part of your self-care.
