Arc of a Coaching Relationship

Phase 1 - Built trust and rapport, track and research crazies

Clients must believe that I’ve got their back and I believe in them. They must believe that everything I’m saying is to trampoline them toward their outcomes and protect them from disempowering frames. Track where client is out of alignment with their true value set, these are their crazies. You may or may not reflect what crazies you’re tracking in this stage, depending on the client. 

Phase 2 - Create bridge between where client is and what client wants

Values are the railroad tracks of a person's consciousness. Help align client with their values by closing the gap between behaviors and values in love. This increases their ability to be more loving and consequently more loveable. 

Phase 3 - Celebrate progress

Consciously reflect back and big-the-fuck-up all the microscopic shifts and upgrades of the person and relationship. Speed of incline doesn’t matter, only incline. If you have an incline you’re winning.

Phase 4 - Practice and generalize across life

We want clients to live their dharma and create value in the world. You wan’t to help actualize the client so their future child has the best world to come into.
