Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs:

 What is a life coach?

A life coach is someone who can help you improve your life, feel better, and achieve your goals. It’s not a mentor, a consultant, or a counselor… although it can feel a little like it sometimes. A friend of mine called her therapist her ‘friendly nag’. That’s pretty close to what a coach is.

Because I want us to dig deep, see you be accountable, and agree that I will nudge you if you need it.

 Why do I need a life coach?

Simply put, coaching helps you identify what’s going on in your own brain. When you feel unable to get the results you want or feel frustrated with your life, coaching can be the answer. A personal coach can help you recognize where you’re stuck and show you exactly what needs to change when you can’t see it yourself. A life coach is like the best friend who will call you out when you’re showing up in a way you don’t want to, give you tough love, and believe in you long before you may be able to.

They help you create the exact life you’ve always wanted.

 What will we work on?

You can be coached on absolutely anything.

Along with my education and degree from Liberty University in Human Services Counseling: Life Coaching, we will use a coaching model created by Keith Webb of Creative Results Management. This approach incorporates powerful questioning, client-generated resolutions, and spiritual considerations, resulting in a transformation for you - if you authentically engage, do the recommended exercises, and enthusiastically attend coaching sessions with me.

We’ll use SMART goal-setting to focus in on achieving some particular issues.

I am working towards accreditation as a coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which assures clients that I have a high standard of preparation and coaching delivery, as well as many hours of practice.

When you decide to work with a life coach, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you get un-stuck and start changing your life in ways that will blow your mind. You’ll begin to understand your brain and why you’re doing what you do without beating yourself up to make any change. You’ll discover your true potential and begin to notice excellent results. It may very well change your life.

What should I expect when we work together?

You’ll be amazed at the clarity, insight, and help you can get from working through your problems on a coaching call. Whether you’re being coached directly during a private session or listening to others being coached on a Zoom group call, listening to the application of positive psychology and authentic encouragement will help you experience life-changing breakthroughs.

You can bring lots of topics to a coaching session. You may seek coaching when you are ready to overcome any obstacles you are facing, to get “un-stuck”, or to improve your life and work experiences.

What would success look like for me?

Success will be different for everyone. When we work together, we will set a goal and work towards reaching it.

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

In short, therapy is working on what has happened in the past, and life coaching is working on what is currently happening and what you want to create in the future.

How long do we work together?

I offer both private coaching and group coaching.  When we meet for our consultation, we will talk about what’s happening for you, and we can discuss my 12-week Soft Skills fundamentals program or private coaching (often 2- to 6-months).

 Do you guarantee results?

No, but I do guarantee that I will provide you with everything you need to be more successful. I promise to coach you and help you understand what’s happening for you. 

I’ll provide tools, teach you techniques, and show you how to make changes that will last a lifetime. The results are up to you. 

Show up, get coached, and be open to learning, and you’ll likely get results you never even imagined. I suspect that you’ll find that our life coaching experience exceeds your expectations.

Can I get a refund?

No.  Once you commit and pay, your time is blocked on my calendar, and it’s for you. 

If you choose not to attend sessions, that’s on you.  I’ll be there ready to coach you and show you how to get the results you are looking for.

 Can I reschedule my sessions?

Yes, I understand you could be sick or have a planned vacation.  When I send the details of what we have agreed upon, I will add a 30-day window for you to finish up any sessions you were not able to attend. 

Please let me know if you have a vacation scheduled so I can use that time for another client.

Text me if you are sick and will not be on as scheduled. When I take a vacation, you will not lose any time.

 How do I pay you?

You will receive an invoice and can use a major credit card or pay via PayPal.

 How can I get help in between sessions?

You can email me between sessions at christiannursecoaching@pm.me

 I will respond to your email during my regular business hours.  Please keep in mind that I have other clients, so response time will not be immediate but should be within a short time.
