Coaching FAQs
Q: What is your process?
A: My process is simple
Step 1 - It begins with filling out the intake form and setting up a virtual coffee date with me! Grab time on my calendar and we will have a 45 minute discovery call to get clear on what it is you most desire and to see if coaching is right for you.
Step 2 - If you are ready to make big impacts in your world and want to move forward we will begin!
CLARITY | We will get very clear on what it is you most desire and focus on an awareness of where you are at and where you want to go.
ACTION | Through coaching and uncovering your embodied wisdom we will create a simple action plan that identifies the obstacles and roadblocks between you and your goals. We will identify the goals you want to achieve, create support systems for accountability and ultimately create the results you want.
ITERATION | As you progress, goals may change, new obstacles or roadblocks may appear. Through iteration we will dial in to get you closer and closer to your goals until you’ve reached them
SUPPORT | I will be your coach and guide every step of the way, cheering you on, adjusting the plan as needed, and working on mindset strategies to really launch your growth
WRAP UP | I work with clients for 3 months at a time so that we have enough time to make an impact in your world. Half my clients feel this is enough time to get the momentum going and spread their wings. Half want to continue coaching to do the work to really make waves. Either way, we will wrap up the progress you have made, make a plan for the future, and you will have an opportunity to continue working with me if you feel that is the next best move for you!-
Q. How is this different from other programs?
A: Simple. There is only one YOU. And, there is only one ME. What I bring to the equation is 20+ years of entrepreneurship and business development, deep personal struggles and trauma stacking that have given me an empathetic and compassionate perspective on your situation and struggles. I have a deep desire to help women and LGBTQs discover who they are, what they most want in life, and go after those goals with every excited fiber of my being! It would be an honor and pleasure to work side-by-side with you to make your wildest dreams come true.
Q: Is this therapy?
A: This is not therapy and I am not a therapist. Coaching is an excellent tool to discover your own embodied wisdom, and have a solid support system to help you design and architect the plan you need to set and reach your goals.
Therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing. If you’d like some resources for therapy in the Northern Colorado area, please let me know. I’d be happy to steer you in the right direction.
Q: Who is coaching for?
A: Coaching is for anyone who is ready to make big changes in their lives and future. It is a useful tool to uncover limiting beliefs, step into your own power, and create a support system to reach your goals.
Q: Who is coaching not for?
A: Coaching is not a replacement for therapy. It is not for those who need to address core wounds, depression, or other mental health needs. Coaching and therapy can be used side by side but is not a replacement for one another.
Q: I’m already successful, is this for me?
A: Absolutely! Successful people can feel lonely, stuck and in need of support. You know what it’s like to have a dream, go after it, and risk it all. But, somewhere in the mix you got lost. Maybe the sexiness of the project or dream wore off and now you’re just on autopilot going through the movements. Maybe you’re looking to find your passion again, create something new, or go after that impossible dream. Maybe life’s challenges got you down. How we respond to those challenges, traumas, and losses shapes who we are. For those with vision, challenges are opportunities to make something amazing and powerful out of them. I can show you how, and I would be honored to be the support you need to get it done!
Q: I have a habit of starting something and not finishing. Is this for me?
A: Let me tell you… You have found the right place. Bring it in for a giant hug. Coaching is absolutely for you. Because, let’s face it, if you could have done it alone you would have done it already. I work side by side with you to identify what it is you most desire, then make a step by step ACTION plan on accomplishing each goal. Grab a spot on my calendar and let’s talk about what you need support with.
Q: How much is coaching and why is it priced this way?
A: Just like when you factor in a space to lease, products to sell, and software to keep your business running, coaching is an investment in the biggest asset in your company. It’s an investment in you! As an individual, the best bet you can make is always on yourself. If you’re ready to make an investment in yourself and in the design of your life, let’s have a conversation! Fill out the application and grab a spot on my calendar. We’ll go over your dreams and goals, get super clear on where you want to be and how to move forward.
Q: Do you have payment plans?
A: Yes! I have a monthly automatic payment plan. There are no extra fees for paying monthly vs a one-time payment; however, I do offer incentives for paying in full!
Q: Do you have a refund policy?
A: I offer a one-time refund policy within the first 14 days of working with each other. The full refund policy will be sent to you with the coaching contract.
Q: I want to gift coaching sessions with you to someone in my life. How do I do this?
A: How incredibly thoughtful of you! I’d love to set up a consultation with you or the recipient to make sure my services will be a good fit. Grab a spot on my calendar and let’s talk!
Q: My question wasn’t answered, how do I submit a question?
A: You can contact me at hello@elissa.coach please allow 24 business hours to return your message. If you’re looking for coaching and wish to set up a discovery call, please go to my contact page here.
