Finding Your Life Direction: What to Expect From Your First Life Coaching Session

The benefits of working with a Life Coach are invaluable, and I’m not just saying that because I am a Dallas Life Coach!  Investing in yourself is by far the most important investment you’ll ever make, with the return on your investment feeling so powerful sometimes you can hardly believe how far you’ve come! 

If you’re considering scheduling a life coaching session because you are looking forward to finding life direction, are craving personal development, would like accountability with your goal setting and clarity on how to actually achieve your goals, here is what to expect from your first life coaching session.

What Happens In A First Life Coaching Session

The coaching relationship between the coach and the client should feel natural and comfortable.  As a Dallas Life Coach who coaches clients across the US via video meetings, I offer potential new clients a complimentary consultation so that they can get a feel for my coaching style and how coaching with me can benefit their unique life circumstances prior to their first coaching session.  This video call allows potential clients to get clarity on how to prepare for life coaching as well as clarity on life coach expectations.

The free consult serves as an ice breaker so that my clients are able to really get into things in our first life coaching session.  As the client, you are always in the driver’s seat and get to choose what we discuss in each life coaching session.  We meet every week or every other week starting out, and I like to give my clients “homework” between sessions to keep the forward progress going.  In our first life coaching session, we will get into your goals, your blocks (the things that have been inhibiting you from actually living the life you desire,) and we will get the forward momentum going!  Most clients report that they start to feel better after our first coaching session!  The newfound direction is so life-giving!

How Life Coaching Helps Find Direction

Many of my clients come to me when they are feeling lost or stuck and are craving personal development and self-discovery.  As your life coach I meet you where you are and help you to move forward.  We start by taking inventory of your current life circumstances, and then we begin the process of you getting clear on who you really are, what you really want, and how to actually get it.

The coaching process truly leads to life transformation as clients will uncover their life purpose along with their authentic self.  The clearer you are on who you really are at your core, underneath things like limiting beliefs, past trauma and the expectations of others, the easier it becomes to get clear on what you really want which leads to newfound life purpose and direction!

Questions To Ask In the First Coaching Meeting

Feel free to ask any questions that come up for you during our complimentary consultation.  My website provides a lot of information regarding coaching with me, including my education and background, current rate, session information, and popular coaching topics.  You are welcome to browse my Instagram as well to get a feel for my coaching vibe.  Here are some frequently asked questions I get from potential new clients:

I don’t live in Texas, can I still coach with you?

Yes!  Although I am a Life Coach in Dallas, my certification isn’t limited to Texas, so you can live anywhere and coach with me.

How long is the coaching process?

Many coaches only offer packages that cover specified lengths of time.  I personally do not like this approach, which is why my coaching process allows clients to pay as they go instead of committing to a specific package upfront.  There’s no way to predict how long our coaching relationship will be.  It all depends on your goals, the work that is done between coaching sessions, and how you feel!  My clients really enjoy our coaching relationship and achieving their first round of goals, so they continue to level up with new goals!
