Before your first
session please fill out the questionnaire on the Wellcoaches website. This
will give your coach a blue print of you and your requirements.
If you desire
a complimentary 30 minute coaching session to see if coaching is right for
you or to answer any questions please email:
nancyjacobson@passport2wellness.com or
info@passport2wellness.com.
Include your name, phone number, and a variety of times that are good for
you. Your personal coach will email you within 24-48 hours to schedule a
specific time that is convenient for both you and your coach. Try to pick a
time that you are free from distractions and are able to discuss coaching
and your objectives and a time that you might wish to meet for follow up
sessions (the best part of coaching, however, is it is flexible).
Your personal coach will call you for each session.
Read on if you decide
coaching is right for you:
A typical first session lasts at
least one
hour and may cover many topics. To give you an example:
 |
The coach will ask you about
yourself, your lifestyle, your work, your hobbies, your health etc. At
this time notify your coach of any concerns, feelings, dislikes, likes,
motivators etc. that you have. Your coach will use the questionnaire to
guide the questions to learn more about you. |
|
Together you will dissect the
items that keep you from achieving your goals. |
|
One or more items may stand out
and the coach will ask further questions. If there is something
you wish to discuss further please elaborate. |
|
The coach may ask you to
complete some homework or other exercises that allow you to investigate
your desires further. |
|
Your coach may ask you what you
feel you can accomplish in the next week and how committed you are to
completing these goals. |
|
Together you and your coach
will set short term (weekly) goals and long term (three month) goals. |
|
You and your coach will create
your wellness vision-your idea of health and wellness and what you want
to accomplish with personal coaching. |
|
Together you and your coach
will explore the Wellcoaches platform and discuss payment options.
It is best to begin with weekly session for the first three months and
then reevaluate your progress and goals to make adjustments. |
|
At this time if you have any
other questions of your coach you should ask them. |
|
An appointment for the
following week will be made. It is wise to try to keep the same
time each week, however, it is understandable that you may need some
flexibility. |
|
During the following week, as
you work to achieve your weekly goals, you can use the Wellcoaches web
site to log your progress or to gather information. Your coach will drop
items for you to read into your library on your personal site.
|
|
If you have any questions
during the week your coach will help you. You only need to email or
phone the coach with your concerns. If your coach can not find an
answer she will refer you to a professional who is better suited for
your solution. |
Follow up sessions last about
30 minutes, sometimes longer. Follow up session will consist of
some of the following but will mainly be directed by you and what you
feel is important discuss with your coach:
|
You will share your
accomplishments and set backs with your coach. |
|
Your weekly goals will be
discussed and moved to the history section of your web site. |
|
Together you and your coach
will develop new goals to help you meet your needs. |
|
You will discuss any barriers
you expect to derail you in the coming week and work toward some
solutions. |
|
Your three month goals will be
reviewed regularly to make sure your weekly goals are helping you
achieving the long term objectives. Your wellness vision can also be
revised as needed. |
|
The coach can help you find
appropriate celebrations as you achieve your goals. |
|
Your coach will introduce new
exercises, discuss related topics, or supply any needed information you
may need to reach goals. |
|
Together you and coach will
discuss any health concerns you may have and you may choose to log your
health information into the web page to help you keep track of it all. |
|
An appointment for the
following week will be made. |
|
Any billing or invoices
problems can be discussed as well as any problems you may be experiences
with the web platform. |
|
Your coach may give you
"homework" and activities to finish before the next session. |
|
You can discuss any concerns,
problems, or achievements as needed. If you have questions and need to
contact your coach throughout the week you can email or call her. |

Self Study: Dig deeper into your
health goal.
Why do you want to make this change?
Label your answer "A"
Then ask yourself why you want to obtain "A".
Keep going with this string of questions until you get to the
root of your desire. It may take a few questions.
Remember to write down your answers on a piece of paper.
Step 2:
Then write down how it will feel to reach that possibility for
yourself. Write down as much detail as you can. How will
it feel to be you once you reach your possibility for yourself?
Remember to use as much detail as you can.
This exercise is taken from the "Health Seekers
Handbook" by Bob Merberg and is a great book and highly recommended. |
