Sample Formats

What does a month of phone coaching actually look like?
The purpose here is to offer information on how a typical
month of coaching works. A good ADD coach will employ some
combination of the following three contact systems.
   
1. Work Sessions 2. Support Sessions 3. Check-ins
     
  Phone sessions may be 30 to 60 minutes in duration, and the format may include 3 to 6 sessions each month.
Weekly email is used extensively to maintain contact.		  
     
  The ADD coach you work with individually will offer a recommended format for your particular situation.
You can schedule a free INTRO call and Talk to Coaches. 		 
     
 
1. Work Sessions
 
    These are the longer sessions, where the core work is done. Ranging 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the coach, the dialogue and instruction covers the primary topics, like goals and challenges, skills and knowledge about ADD, strategies and sytems for moving forward. Try our Challenges Check List to
help clarify goal areas.
  What are the desired outcomes, long term, short term  
  What is the action plan, this week, this month  
  What are the issues & obstacles that get in the way  
  What support, knowledge, or resources are needed  
 
 
2. Support Sessions
   
    These are shorter phone sessions, 15 to 30 minutes in duration, and the focus is, connect, review, revise, and continue:  
 
  Are you "working" the plan AND learning
  Where are you stuck and what is needed
  How can you apply new skills, systems, or support
 
     
 
3. Check-ins
 
  These are emails, once or twice a week, and the purpose is continuity and accountability. It is a way to touch base, get feedback, offer encourabement and reminders on a regular basis.
