The process of life coaching involves three key phases:
Phase One: Assessment and Intake
During the initial phase, coach and coachee get to know each
other. The coach shares information about the structure of the
coaching process and finds out what coachee is expecting from
him. He will also want to know about the coachee’s present
situation, both in terms of the difficulties that coachee is facing
and of the resources available,
Phase Two: Problem Analysis and Strategy Planning
What kept coachee from reaching his goal? The difficulties
experienced by coachee and the options available to him will be
further analysed. Then, an action plan will be developed. The
coach will monitor the coachee and further help him through
constructive feedback.
Phase Three: Evaluation, Adaption, Further Support
During this final phase of the life coaching sessions, progress
will be evaluated and either the coaching procedure will be
ended, or a shedule for follow up sessions will be agreed upon.
The number of life coaching sessions that are necessary to
complete the coaching cycle is limited. Typically, no more than
five to seven sessions of life coaching are necessary. However
on-going intermittent support can be beneficial.
