The Executive Coaching experience involves five steps, which form the acronym,
DUETS:
1.
Defining and clarifying goals (what is to be accomplished);
2.
Understanding self and others (perception v. reality);
3.
Exploring options with action planning;
4.
Taking action;
5.
Shaping the future.
By following the
DUETS model, the participant and coach are able to engage in open dialogue, focusing on the “coachee’s” desired results and, in turn, enabling the participant to fulfill his or her leadership potential. At the conclusion of Step 5, the decision is made to end the coaching relationship or continue with additional sessions.
Coaching sessions are typically held over the phone. However, in-person sessions are also an option. It is common for the coach and participant to spend the first session getting to know each other better to begin establishing rapport, a critical success factor for the coaching relationship. The participant will be asked to complete an Intake Form prior to the first call, which provides the coach with preliminary information regarding what the coachee hopes to gain from the experience, as well as insights into his or her characteristics and interests.
Sessions are up to one hour in duration and are priced per month. Please see our
Coaching Pricing page for additional details regarding fees.
At times during the coaching experience, the coach may ask the participant to complete a formal assessment or two as a way of gauging work and communication style and/or behavior. Depending on the assessment used, an additional one-time fee may be incurred.
