Unbranding Technique
I engaged a coach a while back who did a needs assessment with me - I was considering hiring him to help me 1 on 1. I loved his insight, and resonated with what he said - but I wasn't 100% sure his program was exactly right for me. Instead of really engaging me and asking what my needs were, he just spent then entire call trying to pound my square needs into his round solution. It was quite a turn-off.
I also agree with Chris - conducting a needs assessment really helps to lay everything on the table and helps me as a coach, really understand my clients - their needs, their thought processes, their priorities, etc... after all - the coaching relationship is about THEM growing!
An assessment or evaluation will save you so much time and gives you a head start on the learning curve.
For me, it's all about chemistry -- finding out if this is the type of person I want to work with. I need to want to work with the person just as much as they want to work with me.
Please let us know how your clinics go in 2008. Good luck in the new year!
