Frequently asked questions
What can I achieve to look for a coach?
Your coach will help you which one are your objectives in life (family, work, social, ...), investigating with you about your values, your strong points and your talents, identifying the limitating believings that until now have stopped your way towards those objectives, and setting up actions that can lead you towards them. Moreover, your coach will accompany you during all the process, making sure by following up, that the motivation and energy that move you towards the objective are always in very high levels.
What techniques does the coach use?
Your coach owns tools which we can use to identify our values, strong points, talents, time maps, satisfaction, ... and with those tools, your coach will use techniques of Socratic questioning to get the client investigating outside his comfort zone. Starting from the idea that if we keep doing the same things that we have done until now, we will get the same results. The coach will make us question ourselves and think about our objectives, the motivation that we have to achieve them, resources and options that we have, and what steps we will have to follow. Moreover, your coach also has other trained abilities, such as empathy, active listening, opening.... always in order to understand the client's reality and help him/her to develop.
How is a coaching process organized?
A standard coaching process takes several coaching sessions. Usually there is a first ''pre-coaching'' session, free of any cost in the case of 4ever Coaching, where the client's objective is commented, and also process rules are established, confidentiality, sessions, coordination, price, ... Next, the process starts, which usually consists of one weekly session. Coaching work is done partially during the session, client and coach together, and the work that the client does between sessions becomes really important. Each coaching session usually lasts about 1h.
How many sessions are needed?
Depending on the client's objective, the coaching process can take about 4 weeks (concrete and clear objective, just needing motivation, action decision and follow-up), or 6-8 months (when it is about life transition processes). In the case of the longer processes, the session frequency usually is weekly at the beginning (first 2 months, approximately), and one every 2-3 weeks afterwards.
Can coaching sessions be done on the distance?
Of course. Though the ideal for a perfect communication between client and coach are the face to face sessions, thanks to the new technologies we are lucky to be able to connect with the rest of the world. Coaching sessions can also be done by phone, or videoconference. E-mail and chat can also be used, but they are less recommended due to the difficulty to establish a confidence and fluid communication.
Is it paid by session or by process?
In 4ever Coaching we offer both options. In very few cases can one single session be enough to achieve the objective that client looks after; but if so, or when preferred like this, each session can be paid individually. On the other hand, for people who want a complete process, we offer a better price for groups of 4 and 8 sessions. To ask for information about prices, please do not hesitate to contact us.
