Congratulations and welcome to Personal Coaching.
Please review the following material prior to our session so that you will be best prepared and so that we can maximize the benefit of our time together.
Duration of Sessions
Personal Coaching sessions will typically run up to 50 minutes in length. Nonetheless, please set aside the full hour so that we can continue and complete our conversation if necessary. In any case, please note that we have a hard stop at one hour and cannot go beyond that.
Meeting Software
Currently, all Personal Coaching sessions are held via Zoom Meeting. Please download the Zoom client beforehand and make sure your system is setup properly prior to our first session together.
You have the option to select either video or audio only for our meetings.
Recording
All Personal Coaching sessions are recorded. These recordings can be made available to you via a private Dropbox link and folder if you would like. Please note that these recordings are only for private and personal review, and are not to be shared publicly.
Punctuality, Cancellations, No-Shows and Late Arrivals
Much of Personal Coaching is about the cultivation of excellence in all that we do, and with such come blessings and success. In keeping with this principle, punctuality is essential for a believer.
Please do whatever it takes to be punctual and on time for our sessions. This means to be online, prepared and in place at least 1-2 minutes prior to our start time.
It is inevitable that on occasion, we may not be able to make our scheduled session time due to unforeseen events and circumstances. In such cases, please do your best to provide me with a request to reschedule at least 24 hours prior to our appointment or as soon as possible either by email, SMS, WhatsApp or direct message via Slack.
Please note that whether you are present or not, I am scheduling time for our session, often arranging blocks of the day in advance to make possible our opportunity to connect. Hence, if you do not notify me that you will not be able to attend our session prior to our scheduled time together, the session will be forfeit.
That being said, I understand that life happens, as do errors and mistakes, and should you fail to show for our meeting without notice, I will waive this policy for a single incidence. However, should an absence without notice repeat, the above policy will hold and the allotted session will be forfeit.
Please note that this same policy holds for late arrivals. If you are still able to make our session but are for some reason running late, please likewise let me know as soon as you can so I can plan accordingly. If you do not notify me that you will be late, I will wait for a maximum of 10 minutes once our session starts before logging off, at which point the allotted session will be forfeit.
Likewise, as above, I understand that life, errors, situations and circumstances happen, and so will make a single exception to this rule.
Presence
Please ensure that you have set aside the necessary time and space for us to hold our coaching session without distractions and interruptions. We cannot have a focused and conducive meeting with distractions in the background nor with intermittent interruptions, so please make arrangements prior with family, children, guests, colleagues, etc. so that we will be undisturbed for the duration of our session.
Preparation
Effective learning requires an active and engaged approach, and you will maximize your results by having a goal or intention for our coaching sessions. Please plan and prepare for each meeting by bringing a topic or challenge that you would like to discuss, learn about and work on. It is suggested in between sessions that you make a note of questions that may arise so that we can work on them when we speak for our formal meetings.
