Frequently Asked Questions


Why do I need a Career Coach or Life Coach?

Just like an athlete in training, you can benefit from working with a professional coach who helps you establish realistic goals and challenges you to realize them. In a personal, supportive and confidential environment, your coach helps you to create a strategy and then provides you with the encouragement to keep you on track so you can obtain better results and improve your life.

What is the role of a coach in helping me to achieve my goals?

Your personal Career Coach or Life Coach is an ally, a partner, and advocate whose only role is to help you get what you want. Your coach will listen to you, tell you the truth, help you create possibilities, offer new perspectives, and guide you through the process of setting and achieving your goals in a confidential and non-judgmental environment. Your coach helps you to create the life you want in business or personally.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Coaching is a dynamic and often energizing process that focuses on the gap between where you are now and where you would like to be. Your coach partners with you to close that gap in order to achieve life fulfillment rather than resolution. Therapy, on the other hand, is a process that is often painful before it is fulfilling. It seeks to answer the question "Why am I the way I am?" Life coaching answers the question "How can I be what I want to be?"

What can I expect from an initial consultation call?

Your initial consultation call will give you and your prospective Career Coach or Life Coach an opportunity to explore your interest in being coached and how it may help you to achieve your goals. It is important for the both of you to establish that there is a good "fit" between you so that you will feel comfortable exploring your dreams, challenges, and fears. You will learn how the process of working with a personal Career Coach or Life Coach can get you better results from the things you are trying to accomplish.

How will I know that the coaching process is working?

Each individual's experience is unique; however, changes are often reflected in your greater ability to focus, your enhanced motivation, your emotional balance, and your feelings of fulfillment as you partner with your coach to design a strategy and progress towards achieving your objectives. Clients often feel invigorated as they build both competence and confidence.

How long does coaching last?

The length of the coaching process is entirely up to you. While tangible benefits can be achieved even in one session, to truly maximize your experience and make substantial progress, your coach will often recommend a three month program. Having experienced the value, most clients choose to retain a coach to establish new goals to work toward.

What fees are associated with coaching?

DD Lawrence offers several programs designed to accommodate the individual needs of our clients. Fees vary depending on the goals that you seek to accomplish, the frequency and duration of your sessions, and the extent to which you would like additional support via e-mail or brief calls in between scheduled sessions. During your initial consultation, your coach will work with you to determine the program that best suits your needs. Please feel free to raise any concerns you have regarding fees at this time. The coaching session is a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment where you are free to raise any personal concerns you may have.
