What actually happens in a first coaching session
Curious about coaching but unsure what to expect? Here is the first session, step by step.

Iris Calder
Life coach, ICF PCC

If you have never worked with a coach, the first session can feel like a mystery. It shouldn’t. Here is how it goes.
We start with your wheel
You score the eight areas of your life from 1 to 10. It takes five minutes and it is always revealing. We look at the shape together, not the numbers.
We pick one spoke
Not the lowest one by default. The one that would make the biggest difference if it moved. Often it is not the one you expected.
You leave with one experiment
Something small and concrete for the week ahead. Not a plan for your whole life, just the next step. We review it together next time.
If that sounds useful, the free clarity call is a good place to start.
