How a typical Coaching session run?
During a typical session, my clients and I connect either in person or via Zoom. We start by discussing what's top of mind for them—whether it's a struggle, life transition, retirement, family matter, job opportunity, relationship, body image, lifestyle change, upcoming special occasion, or any other concern.
Then, we partner and delve into a series of questions to explore their feelings about the situation, opportunity, or life transition.
