What is professional coaching?
Professional coaching focuses on you achieving your goals through a blend of three disciplines-Leadership, Management and Psychology. A coach is a partner who helps you improve and grow as a person as a means of achieving your goals. Coaches assist you to become the world's leading expert on yourself and to take the actions necessary to succeed. You will have total control over the results you achieve through coaching because you set the program objectives. The coaching process helps move you toward your personal and professional goals.

What is a coach?
A coach is a mixture of the many people we all need in our lives: teacher, friend, confidant and someone who holds us accountable to do what we say we want to do. Trust, love and compassion are integral parts of the coaching partnership. Clients develop a strong personal bond and trusting relationship with their coaches. The very personal nature of the coaching process requires clients and their coaches to develop a strong, mutually trusting, mutually respectful and mutually focused partnership.
My model of coaching begins with the client stating outcomes that are agreed upon by both of us. I then design a Coaching Program based on my knowledge, experience and insights to help the client reach the stated outcomes. The client and I then devise a strategy, develop a plan and set specific milestones.

How will a Parent benefit from coaching?
Coaching for parents of teenagers should be required! It is not an overnight process, but coaching enables parents to understand their teenagers better, reduce conflicts and struggles, and improve communication. Lisa uses a program called A Parents Journey, which is based on the methods in Parent as Coach. A Parents Journey teaches parents how to convert parent-teen relationships of conflict and pain into enjoyable and harmonious partnerships of encouragement and support. Lisa personally used this method with her daughter with exceptional success.

How much will my coaching sessions cost?
Fees are determined by the length and scope of the coaching objectives you set. At Carey Coaching, I deliver structured and client-focused coaching programs ranging from 12 weeks to one year. After a 90-minute intake session a custom coaching program will be designed (typically two-to-four hours per month), which can be managed in any number of blocks and settings. Coaching typically takes place by phone, but can be done in-person, or as a combination of both based on what works best for you.
