Why Have a Coach

To rid you of anxiety, discomfort, indecision, and fear due to change and loss occurring in your personal and professional life. To examine your deepest dreams and desires with a co-creative partner awakening the masterful “life-navigator” you are!

For starters, you don’t have to go through change or loss alone. No matter the situation in your life whether you are experiencing it in your personal or professional life chances are, whatever it is, it consumes you enough to keep you running in place. Having a coach helps you dislodge the clog in your current situation and renders you free to move on to reach one or all of your goals. Secondly, a trained coach inspires you to think on behalf of yourself knowing the entire time and long after your coaching sessions are complete, that the tool for “self-care” will be called upon frequently throughout your entire adult life. And, a compilation of all your sessions no matter where you begin and end, working with Anne Spieker as your coach will only mean one thing; your life has already been blessed.

Having Anne as your personal coach eliminates the need to seek solace in biased places which gives you temporary respite but terminal indecision. Having an unbiased, trained and motivated coach makes reaching out enjoyable and significant. Not only are you focused solely on you and your growth so is your coach.

So why have a coach? To keep consistent and persistent energy into the things that matter to you most and ultimately will affect the ones you love in a very outwardly positive way.

Group/Team Coaching: A partnership is formed to set goals, provide focus, expand possibilities, track progress, overcome obstacles, and mark accomplishments. End results are enhanced cohesiveness, better communication, and achievement of results. “I attended a session by Ms. Spieker which made us look forward and set goals. She made us write them down on paper, and suddenly, they became real. We found answers together and quickly. If you’re stuck, you need Anne.”

Corporate Life Coaching Downsizing and reorganization are two reasons for providing Coaching services for employees. Key objectives are employee retentionand enabling professionals to deal with job pressure and security concerns. The result is a more stable and productive work force. “Anne’s experience in the work world, life, and as a professional, are second to none. She is very intuitive, intelligent, and experienced in so many areas. Working with Anne Spieker is a phenomenal experience.”

Personal Life Coaching For individuals who have made a decision to move forward and want help directing their efforts. Personal sessions include e-mail and phone contact, inspirational CDs and web newsletters, plus structured worksheets. This provides support for achieving life goals. “Anne is a mentor in my life, constantly making me look ahead and not back. I feel her gentle hand on my shoulder, edging me forward, walking beside me on this journey. Anne gives me hope when I see none.”

Coach-ability

Imagine if you will, a stubborn child in the mall being resistibly drug by a parent, eyes filed with weariness and tears, mouth open with waling sounds of despair and anguish and you have a picture of exactly the kind of client that would be considered un-coachable; emotionally defying one’ needs because something or someone else is much more important. All of our life we put other’s needs, commitments, responsibilities and demands before our own mental health and well-being. Having a coachable client is a true joy. What makes you coachable and are you ready to be coached?

• A vulnerability and admittance there is something that needs work
• An open mind and a willingness to say I may not have all the answers, right now
• The ability to have dialogue and communicate with your coach
• A pure motivation and commitment to our sessions
• Be honest with yourself and your coach
• Stretching oneself to deepen the work done in sessions by writing and taking action steps
• Showing up to each session prepared
• Touch places emotionally you may have not touched in order to grow

Commitment and Costs

No matter what life you choose there are commitments and costs to managing it each and every day. The problem with most is that those things commitments and costs become someone else’s concerns. As a coach for you before we can begin down the path that will ultimately change your life, the commitment of the following is critical:

• Show up to each session prepared. Sending your session agenda form ahead of the time
• Be honest with yourself and your coach
• Let your coach know what works best for you and what does not
• Willingness to stretch yourself to deepen the experience; challenges and action steps
• Be prepared to know how many minutes you believe your session will need
• Prepared to pay for the session upon completion
• Coaching sessions after the initial sample session is $3.00 per minute. First session usually runs around 40-60 minutes and follow-up/concurrent sessions range anywhere from 30-75 minutes depending on the agenda and goals. Average total length of sessions is 8 months. Most retain a coach for years on an “as-needed” basis.
  

Let’s understand how Anne charges for her gifts and talents.  For an entire “power day” Anne can quote an exact $2400.00 plus travel.  

For essentially all other endeavors (speaking & consulting), there is much more involved in making a cost determination.  For speaking engagements there is a base rate and final determination on cost is based on some (or all) of the following factors:

1. Is this a brand new workshop (speech, etc.) or one Anne has done before and will Anne able to offer in essentially the same way or with minor modifications?
   
   
2. Will the audience be willing participants?
   
   
3. What is the expected number of participants? It takes far more energy to work with a group of 100 or 200 (for a workshop, for example) than a group of 35.  The number and demographics of people who will be in attendance is important.
   
   
4. Is this part of a series of workshops/seminars or is it a stand-alone? Anne can work with people over longer periods of time - developing relationships and building community and trust. When people are interested in that as well, they receive a different price than those who want a one-shot event. It requires different preparation and energy levels.
   
   
5. Will Anne be working out of the area, then I take the following into consideration:

• Time zones crossed (more of an issue as I get older!) I add a certain amount for each time zone I hop.
  
  
• Ease or difficulty in travel (flying all the way across the country in one plane vs. hopping 3 different planes, taking a bus, then renting a car to even get 1/3 of the way across the country).

Many variables are taken into consideration when working out a final price for the services.
