• Email Weekly update and topic:  To make the most out of our session, we ask that you email a topic and an update on what has happened during your week. Part of the update includes the topic you'd like to cover. Our coaching approach favors a more informal process where you lead, and we follow topics as they come up.  If you prefer more structure and guidance then we could lead you though a list of agreed upon topics and create milestones for your progress.
• In Process Questioning: The philosophy in coaching is to “be in process”, which means that our line of questioning is to follow the ideas that you bring to the table and your thread of conversation.  Sometimes the coaching session may go in a direction that you didn’t expect. When this happens our job is pointing out when you are no longer following the agenda, but giving you the choice to proceed naturally where the conversation is flowing.  This is called “following the flow” and one of the key teaching principles in coaching, because sometimes the stated problem masks the real underlying problem, which comes out by following the flow.  
• Learning Assignments:  At the end of the session you will walk away with some things to try during the week.  Sometimes they come in the form of an inquiry, other times they will be requests, or new things for you to try.
