Frequently Asked Questions

Is success guaranteed in coaching? How do I know that it will be worth the investment? +

The coaching engagement is a partnership between coach and client that is outcome-oriented. 

When you come into coaching ready to learn and grow, and willing to do the work to make it happen, you will become fully aware of the opportunities and dynamics you face, knowledgeable of the options, strategies, and tactics available, and empowered to achieve your goals in a clearly defined time frame.  

What is the “process” for ByDesign Coaching? +

We begin with assessments that help us identify your strengths and passions as well as saboteurs -- fears, assumptions, limiting beliefs, and interpretations -  impacting performance. With this information we are able to effectively understand and manage blind spots, barriers, opportunities, and areas of misalignment that impact well-being, achievement, and performance.  Weekly accountability tracking helps ensure that meaningful and sustainable progress is being made.  A recap at the end of the coaching engagement tracks progress and summarizes goal attainment.

I’m concerned about being “judged” and compared to others and/or having my “dirty laundry” aired within the company. +

Our approach is 100% tailored to YOU and/or your team. No judgment. No comparisons. Confidentiality and ethical standards are maintained per International Coaching Federation (ICF) standards. The purpose of coaching is to provide the tools and processes that will support the achievement of the specific goals you are seeking.

How often do I meet with my coach? +

We meet with clients once a week for 3 weeks, with every 4th week off. This pace allows for us to build momentum while allowing you to process what’s been covered.  

Where do meetings occur? +

Coaching can be conducted in person or via Zoom.
