How to prepare for your first coaching session
Ғылым және технология
So you've taken the plunge and decided to work with a coach. Fantastic! Now what?!
In this video, I outline how you can best prepare for that first meeting, to extract maximum value from your time with the coach. I cover scheduling time for reflection, clarifying the practicalities and logistics, questions about your coach and their approach, documents you might find useful and your previous experience of development.
The main principle here is to clear the decks of as many basic questions as possible in advance of the first session - so you can really focus on your goals when you're with your coach.

Delighted you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
After years and years, I finally meet a psychologist who knows and doesn't mix things up when it comes to Coaching. Congratulations! So look, it's possible. You should have many more followers because they have something to learn from you, especially those who switch from psychotherapy to coaching. You have a great potential to correct some things and at the same time the obligation to promote yourself in order to offer what you have to offer. I like your empathy! It is huge!

Thanks for the kind words - it’s much appreciated.
Great video Richard. One of my all time favourite coachees to work with was someone who had really thought through so much before we even got into our coaching. I’m talking a full set of goals/timelines/challenges. It made it so much easier to know where we were heading and when we needed to review/revise them, the structure was already there.

Thanks for watching, Mark - appreciate the feedback. I can certainly agree when it comes to the power of thinking things through in advance and working on that clarity of purpose. It makes such a huge difference. This is now a standard video to share with all new coachees, to help them get the best result.
