Our Coaching Corner

Philo4Thought matches clients with seasoned professional coaches from their network of strategic partners.

Coaching and instruction focuses on building, improving, or eliminating specific habits. Work & Life Concierge Coaches are professionals who redirect inefficient behaviors that detract from one’s performance and strengthen productive habits. (This is a paid service.)

Concierge Coaches provide 1-on-1 professional instruction. They are trained instructors with advanced degrees and offer their services at a modest rate. These are trained instructors with advanced degrees in education, executive management, life coaching, human resource development, etc. This is a paid service.

Coaching Strategy

Below is the systemic coaching model used. Those who sign up for concierge coaching commit to a 7-session, bi-monthly program.
 
  • Initial Assessment: Conduct an evaluative assessment about the client’s strengths, limitations, and areas that can be improved with skill building exercises.
  • Problem Solving and Decision Making (Phase I): Assist the client in identifying and addressing any obstacles or challenges encountered.
  • Goal Setting (Long-Term): Work with the client to clearly define ultimate objectives and goals the client wants to achieve.
  • Goal Setting (Short-Term): Work with the client to clearly define immediate objectives and goals the client wants to achieve.
  • Plan of Action: Collaboratively develop a customized, manageable action plan (and realistic timeline), outlining the steps a client should take to reach desired goals.
  • Skill Building: Provide research-based guidance to foster client’s development of skills to achieve each specific goal. 
  • Resource Curation: Suggest resources (tools, exercises, or educational materials) for the client to use in the skill-building process.
  • Progressive Feedback: Provide constructive feedback based on the initial assessment results to measure progress in meeting defined goals.
  • Accountability & Tracking: Establish a system to track progress, holding the client accountable for taking action. 
  • Problem Solving and Decision Making (Phase II): Ensure that client is developing effective strategies along the way. Help adjust strategies.
  • Motivational Support: Encourage, motivate and support the client as they make progress. Celebrate successes. Offer guidance if setbacks or moments of self-doubt occur.
  • Self-Reflection: Encourage the client to reflect on their progress, lessons learned, and areas for further growth. 
  • Closing Evaluation: Assess the effectiveness of the coaching sessions and make necessary adjustments to systemic strategies for future.
  • Continued Support: An annual follow-up sessions ensures sustained progress and success beyond the set coaching period.
