FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Baobab is an actual tree that grows in Africa and Madagascar and lives for over one thousand years. I chose it as a symbol for my coaching for its longevity and majesty. As my Legacy Foundation logo, it represents the people whose lives were transformed by my coaching.
Think sports where coaches motivate, aid, assist, and support the players to win games. They do not play the game for them. They hold the players accountable and expect them to practice putting in the time, and effort needed to win. You are the player and I am your coach; and just like in sports the coach is a critical part of all player’s success.
On the other hand, a therapist is there to listen to you, work out the emotional issues holding you back, and together you clear them. This could take days or years. The work of a therapist is very important and is needed in specific cases, however; that is not my calling.
I have coached many players to their “championship”, are you ready to win?
You know you need a coach because you have been trying to accomplish a particular goal alone, and you have not achieved it. That goal should not be small! It must be a burning desire, a passion, a purpose that keeps you awake at night. You will not be fulfilled until you attain it. Like releasing 10 lbs of weight in a three month period. It is specific and has a deadline to be accomplished. You are ready to Just Do It! You are serious and now you need a coach.
Sessions are set up in three, six, nine, and twelve months packages. Sessions are typically 55 minutes in length and occur on a weekly basis. This arrangement has been successful for many clients, however, specifics will be discussed during the initial session to determine the best course of action for coach and client. Most clients get results in 90 days or 12 sessions depending on what the goal is. Example: Are we building a house or a Castle? Releasing 10 lbs or 100 lbs?
I offer a 30 minutes consultation designed for getting to know you, your concerns, your goal, vision, and most importantly: What do you expect from Coach Nina, and are you willing to put 100% effort to get it? In a word, this is a discovery call intended to make sure the client and coach are committed to winning. I, Nina, the coach promise to aid, assist, guide, and support the client to achieve their goal in a specific time. It is a partnership. Period.
The actual coaching session is 55 minutes, and the first one is critical. Here the guidelines are set. I need to know that the client will allow me to interrupt their stories and get to the point. I will actively listen only with the intention of identifying their goal, blocks, vision, and the timeline to achieve it. Question to client: What do you want to achieve? When do you want to have this? What is holding you back..fears..excuses etc.
Finally the action steps. A journey of 1000 miles began with one step. What first step are you going to take towards your desired goal? Coach Nina: I am here to hold you accountable. I believe in you. Do you believe in yourself? May I call your bluff? We’re in this together. We’re a team.
Clarity of the goal. The goal should be specific and has a deadline. Desire energized by your passion. You are ready to work and follow through. We’re compatible, trust each other, and have the best interest to get this done. We have synergy and know that together we will do this. I believe in you. Do you believe in yourself? I know that a happy client will tell others about me and refer them to me, as such; I am invested in a win/win for both of us.
Sessions are paid for one month in advance and after the 4 weekly sessions we will both assess the situation. We will both know whether to continue, and in good faith we will both terminate the coaching upon which I will refund your money. Now this happens very rarely because even before we start the sessions, there is a free 30 minute consultation where we both make sure we are full on, can work together, trust the process and are committed 100% to a win/win. Please peruse the testimonials that former happy clients have given me on the website. I believe in you.
Life coaches generally charge between $200 – $500 per session.
