How Coaching Works
A clear journey from first conversation to forward plan
Coaching with THE GROUNDED Mindset follows a consistent path — so you always know what's next and why.
The Journey
Seven steps, start to finish
- 01
Consultation
A first conversation about what's going on and what you'd like to change. No commitment.
- 02
Path
We agree on the coaching path that fits your goals, and I'm direct if coaching isn't the right support.
- 03
Intake
A structured intake so we begin with real understanding rather than guesswork.
- 04
Coaching
Focused sessions on communication, decisions, and practice you can carry into daily life.
- 05
Practice
Exercises, worksheets, and action steps between sessions — where most of the change happens.
- 06
Progress Review
We look at what's changed, what hasn't, and adjust the plan honestly.
- 07
Forward Plan
Coaching ends with a 30/60/90-day plan you can keep using on your own.
The GROUNDED Approach
Five stages behind every program
Whatever the coaching path, sessions move through the same underlying approach.
Awareness
Understand where you actually are — the patterns, pressures, and habits driving how things go right now.
Clarity
Get clear about what you want to be different, and what would tell you coaching is working.
Strategy
Build a plan that fits your life, your pace, and the change you're aiming for.
Action
Practice the plan between sessions. Coaching happens in real life, not only on the call.
Growth
Review progress, adjust what isn't working, and keep moving forward with a plan you can hold on your own.
Beyond the Call
Coaching beyond the call
Sessions are supported by structured tools so the work continues between conversations.
Workbooks
Program workbooks that hold the work in one place.
Assessments
Structured self-assessment to see patterns clearly.
Exercises
Practice between sessions, not just conversation.
Action Plans
Specific next steps with dates attached.
Accountability
Follow-through is part of the coaching, not an add-on.
Progress Reviews
Honest checkpoints on what is and isn't changing.
30/60/90-Day Planning
A forward plan for after the program ends.
