Here is an example of a life coaching engagement using models, processes, and the coaching competencies.
A colleague in your network refers a coachee who is retiring and transitioning to a new lifestyle and home in a retirement community. Because you want the coachee to be comfortable with coaching and with you as coach, you offer a free introductory session. Based on the connection and coachee’s objectives, you move forward to establishing the coaching agreement and providing your Code of Ethics. The process you are using works well with the Co-Initiation, Co-Sensing, Presencing, Co-Creating, Co-Evolving model. Continuing with your co-initiation and moving into co-sensing by developing the trust and intimacy plus being present to the coachee, you have an opening session with a big-picture exploration of what your coachee wants in all different areas of their life. Next you blend the coachee’s goals into a story using their language for presencing the coachee to what they want their life. From there, you co-create how they want to communicate, strategize, plan, and be held accountable. As the coachee considers the meaning of different options, reflects on how they are applying life lessons, and chooses what they want to be involved with, you co-evolve.
