1. Why does coaching work?
Coaching works because of hree unique features: SYNERGY: Coache and coach become a team, focusing on the coachee's goals and needs to acompish more that he coache would alone. STRUCTURE: With a coach a coachee takes more action, thinks bigger, and gets the job done, thanks to the accountability the coach provides EXPERTISE: The coach knows how to help people make more money, make better decisions, set the best goals and restructure their professional and personal lives for maximum productivity.

2. Who works with a coach?
Entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, and people in transition use a coach to fix, solve, create, or plan something, personally or professionally.

3. How does a coach help me achieve what I want?
Coaching is delivered during regular, weekly sessions by telephone or in person whichever is more convenient. Coachee's bring an agenda of items to the call or meeting. The coach assists them to solve situations and make the most of opportunities. When a person is wanting to take on a large goal for example, we work with them to design a project and provide the support and structure needed to ensure it gets done. Whatever the situation we bring out the persons best by expecting a lot, helping them strategize and celebrate the wins.

4. What can I work on with a coach?
Here are some examples of what the coachee and coach work on together: * Business planning, budgeting, and goal setting. * Integrating business and personal life for balance. * Turning around a difficult situation. * Achieving maximum work performance. * Handling business or personal problems. * Making key decisions and designing strategies. * Prioritising actions and projects. * Catching up and getting ahead of the business.

5. What should I look for in a coach?
The right coach brings out your best, consistently. To do this, ask the coach and yourself the following questions: (1) Do they have a track record of helping someone like you accomplish the goals you want? (2) Do you feel good and motivated to act when with this coach? (3) Will this coach keep up with you - stay ahead of you - as you grow? If the answer is yes, yes, yes! then you have a great match.

6. How much does it cost?
The fee for most professional coaches ranges from £100 to £250 per month for a weekly meeting or coaching call. Collesco's current fee is £150 a month. There are no other charges and coachees may call in between calls for additional assistance if needed. For projects they may be billed at £75 per hour. For presentations, facilitating or training, the fee is £750 a day plus expenses.

7. How do I get started?
If you think that this type of relationship would work for you, call and let's talk. Coaching is not something we sell; it is something you buy because you want it. Feel free to book an introductory session to experience what coaching might do for you.

8. Where do I start with a coach?
Most coaches begin with an initial meeting to get to know each other. The coach wants to hear about the coachee's goals, needs and situations. The coachee wants to get comfortable with the coach. During this meeting, both parties design a list of goals and a plan to reach these goals. Prior to this meeting, the coachee will have received a welcome pack containing checklists and assessment materials to aid preparation and to make the most of the meeting. The key purpose is to design the best way of working together to accomplish the goals.
