HOW
WILL I BENEFIT FROM COACHING? Coaching enhances your ability to
learn, create, make desired changes, and achieve goals. In a coaching
relationship, your coach works with you to:
- Get clear about what you want to accomplish
- Solve problems and eliminate obstacles
- Set specific goals and make effective action plans
- Learn new skills and techniques
- Gain perspective, get feedback, and discover new ideas
- Stay true to your vision, focused on your goals, and on track with your plans

WHEN DO I NEED A BUSINESS COACH? You should consider working
with a coach when you are:
- Starting a new enterprise
- Building a consulting or professional practice
- Needing to crystallize your business ideas
- Looking for a way to package what you do
- Trying to make your ideas fit into a profitable business model
- Wanting to improve profits or find new customers
- Taking on a major new project
- Having trouble managing people, projects or time
- Choosing to make significant changes in how your business works
IS COACHING DIFFERENT FROM CONSULTING? Yes... and no. Traditional consulting focuses on offering
solutions and advice. Coaching enables you to discover your own unique answers and choose your own path.
Your coach provides guidance, expertise, and skill-building techniques whenever they are useful, but doesn't
do things for you, nor tell you what to do. Coaching is typically more allied to training or mentoring
than it is to consulting, because the emphasis is on your own learning and experience rather than on specific
answers provided by an outside expert. Your coach will supply you with ideas, resources, models, and systems
that are proven to work, but won't hand you an action plan nor assert that there's only one right way to accomplish
your goals.
HOW DO I GET STARTED? Most one-on-one coaching happens over the phone. You and your coach can be located
anywhere in the world. Your coach may offer ongoing coaching or single sessions. You can also bring a coach
to your location to work with your management or marketing team.
Ongoing coaching relationships begin with an initial session to create an overall strategy. Regular
coaching sessions are held two, three, or four times per month for a total of two hours monthly. A three-month
minimum commitment is required.
Single or "a la carte" coaching sessions are available at an hourly rate. Your first session
has a one-hour minimum; subsequent sessions may be shorter if desired.
On-site team coaching is available in half-day or full-day sessions. You may also wish to consider
follow-up group sessions via teleconference.
Because C.J. Hayden's coaching is in high
demand, she does have to be selective about which clients she can work with personally. At this time, C.J.
is only working with social entrepreneurs and other clients whose enterprise has a social agenda. If you
are an independent professional seeking marketing help, you may wish to work with GET CLIENTS NOW! coach
Joan Friedlander instead. To find out more about C.J. or Joan's availability and rates, please tell us a
little about your business when you contact us.
