Coaching FAQs
What is coaching?
Research suggests that sessions should be frequent at the start of the counselling process and decrease as goals are being achieved. We recommend weekly sessions to start, so your counselor can complete an in-depth assessment and goals for therapy can be established. Since every client has different needs, we encourage you to connect with your counsellor regarding frequency of sessions.
Why do I need a coach?
There are as many ways a coach can help you as there are dreams and goals. It all depends on what you need. Ultimately, coaching can help you move forward faster and achieve the results you are looking for. People hire a coach because:
They want clarity around what is holding them back.
They want to achieve a dream or goal.
They want to grow personally and/or professionally.
-They want to see faster results than doing something on their own.
-They want someone to help keep them focused and accountable.
-They want to improve their performance or gain a new skill.
They want to get out of their comfort zone and have someone there to guide them.
What is the difference between coaching and counseling?
Coaching is considered to be distinct from psychotherapy. Most coaches engage in coaching with generally well-functioning individuals. Coaches are helping people succeed with their most important goals - not treating mental disorders. Our coaches are trained in the Future-ready minds philosophy and work with individuals to help them optimize their mental health.
Counseling generally deals with emotional or behavioral difficulties, trauma and/or past painful situations. The aim in counseling is usually to bring the client to normal functioning. Counseling is provided by a licensed professional and at Future-Ready Minds our counselors all have a minimum Master’s level education.
How many sessions do I need?
That depends on you and your needs. Some people hire coaches for a specific time-sensitive project or goal and others for much longer terms. Keep in mind that in order to see meaningful change we do ask for a minimum commitment of 4 sessions. The number of sessions you receive in a month varies depending on the coach and the agreement you create with them.
What is the Future Ready Minds coaching process like?
We start each coaching engagement with a comprehensive interview. This allows us to develop a deep understanding of you, your life stories, and your underlying operating system in a short period of time. With this knowledge, we then begin to help you think about your situation and your life in new ways. We ask powerful questions, we assign individualized homework, we utilize proprietary exercises and processes, and we often evaluate individualized metrics to help you tap into your unique potential. Our process is invigorating; you will begin to find clarity, change your mood states and take powerful new actions in multiple areas of your life.
