The Process

1. Meet or talk on the phone to evaluate if you wish to hire Calabrese Consulting.

2. Set up a date for the first session and receive an information package. A signature is required to indicate you understand that coaching is not counseling and that you are making all the decisions for your career. If coaching becomes hindered from a counseling issue, you may be asked to stop coaching until you work on the counseling need. Sessions can take place either on site, in a neutral private setting, or by telephone.

3. Prepare for and participate fully in each session. Calabrese Consulting will provide a summary a few days after the session. This is a “value added” bonus that will both include the topics and options discussed and additional insights from reflecting on the session. It will be your working document until the next session.

4. At this point the scheduling of the next session is partially dependant on the scope of the work and the personality type of the client. Based on an individual’s personality and working style many different relationships with a coach can be established.

Here are a few examples:

Achiever: Very active, high energy, go-getter.
This type of client works well on a longer cycle in between coaching and lives off the options suggested in the summary. They tend to create even more options for themselves and come back for the next session to re-focus.

Diligent: This type of personality will absorb the process as their own and will help make the process and the goals happen in a timely fashion. They are prone to consistently spaced sessions. It works this way as long as their life circumstances are reasonable and not “out of control.”

Flexible:This is a calm laid back individual, who could have difficulty taking the next step. This type of client often makes regular, short spaced appointments to ensure they are being motivated to their goals.

Creative:This individual is an “idea person” and is comfortable with following leads and starting and stopping projects. They tend to show up at the door or call to see if they can be squeezed in for an appointment.
