What is Coaching? What Does a Session Look Like?
Coaching is a transformative process designed to help individuals bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing past wounds, coaching is future-focused, guiding clients toward actionable steps that create meaningful change. It provides a structured, yet flexible, approach that empowers individuals to clarify their vision, set goals, and develop strategies to achieve them.
For midlife women seeking to create the life they desire, coaching offers a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore aspirations, overcome obstacles, and cultivate confidence. It’s about uncovering strengths, shifting mindsets, and developing sustainable habits that align with personal values and goals.
What to Expect in a Coaching Session
Each coaching session is unique, tailored to the individual’s needs and objectives. However, a typical session may follow this general structure:
Check-in & Reflection – The session begins with a check-in to discuss recent progress, insights, or challenges since the last session. This reflection helps set the tone and ensures the conversation is relevant to your current experiences.
Clarifying the Focus of Current Session – Together, we identify the key topic or goal for the session. Whether it’s navigating a career change, improving work-life balance, or building self-confidence, having a clear focus helps make the session productive.
Exploration & Insight – Through thought-provoking questions, active listening, and practical exercises, we explore beliefs, patterns, and possible barriers. This stage fosters deeper self-awareness and unlocks new perspectives that can shift your approach.
Action Planning & Commitments – Coaching isn’t just about insight; it’s about action. We co-create a plan with specific, manageable steps that move you closer to your goals. These steps are designed to be achievable, keeping motivation high and momentum strong. We may discuss steps that can be committed to until we meet next.
Value & Closing – The session wraps up with a summary of key takeaways and a sharing of the value of the session for the coachee. You leave with clarity, motivation, and a commitment to implementing your next steps.
