Individual Coaching
Valerie provides one-on-one coaching to highly motivated professionals looking to challenge their current perspective and fine tune their lives. Valerie coaches with a results-oriented vision, and expects courage and a serious commitment to the partnership from her clients.
Consultation: Valerie provides complimentary consultations with prospective clients to discuss coaching, establish a connection, and determine your best course of action.
Foundation Session: The coaching relationship begins with an initial Foundation Session. During this session, Valerie will work with you to discover your goals, values, accomplishments, challenges, and expectations. From this session, you will obtain a clear understanding of where you are right now, and where you want to be.
Coaching Sessions: Following the Foundation Session, Valerie will set up regular coaching sessions with you. Typically, these sessions run 40-45 minutes, three times per month. Given your busy schedule and the reality of work and personal obligations, flexibility in scheduling is always built in.
Commitment: Although a commitment is not required, clients generally find that building in an initial timeframe of 3 months for the coaching is the most effective way to achieve results. As with anything in life, the success from coaching comes from dedication and hard work in between sessions. To see the change you wish to make, allow yourself a realistic period of time to reflect, process, make choices, and fall off the wagon once in a while.
