Lionsmane Coaching

Though a client always chooses the focus for change, coaches help clients to develop long and short-term goals they can be confident in achieving. Together they create success oriented plans for a clients' real life. Establishing accountability is an important part of the change process. Coaches help to establish this accountability, but once actio... n has begun, the coach helps a client assess that action and determine if any further action is needed. Coaches help their client create a plan for a change that is geared to the client's values and greatest chance for success. Together they address lessons learned and successes, but the client themselves determines the lessons learned, acknowledge successes and determine what further actions to take. You may decide to have weekly sessions, biweekly sessions, or a mix with your coach. We recommend that your coaching agreement spans a minimum of 3 months. This is because it generally takes a minimum of 3 months to change a health behavior and to create a new one that can become self-sustaining. Three months is a reasonable amount of time for a client to experience the impact of coaching and to see tangible results either personally or professionally. When a business or personal change is clearly tied to a persons mission, vision and values, clients are motivated to embrace the process of change and to overcome the obstacles and barriers they may encounter. Coaches are different from teachers, physicians or therapists. Coaches serve as guides through the process of change rather than an expert who makes recommendations on specifically what and when change should happen. Lionsmane Coaching utilizes a progress-oriented model, with a goal of increasing insight and translating that into action, with further learning from actions taken. This means that as you choose action steps to achieve goals, the coaches' role is to check in on progress with action steps at the beginning of each session and to close each session by helping clients make decisions about next steps. ...Read More
