Life Coaching for Individuals
When you hire a coach, you make the statement you want more out of your life and are no longer willing to settle for mediocre. At the same time, you understand it is about balance. Life Coaching programs are individualized and based on the desired outcomes of the client. We work with clients in the following areas:

• More career fulfillment
• Career transitioning
• Getting fit and healthy
• Relationships
• Living with passion
• Creating more fun

At ECI, we know that you, as an educator, are unique. You chose a career that is extremely demanding, yet incredibly rewarding. By hiring a coach, you make the commitment to yourself to bring out your best in you, in whatever aspect you choose. Your coach is committed to supporting your agenda, and will help you to make the necessary adjustments to achieve the fulfillment you seek personally and/or professionally.

Weekly coaching sessions last 45 minutes and are conducted by telephone or in some cases, in person. The topic of discussion for each session is determined by the client. Life Coaching programs typically include:

• Clarification of client's values and beliefs (personal mission statement)
• Identifying limiting beliefs that keep the client from moving forward
• Setting challenging yet attainable goals
• Weekly assignments
• Follow-up summary provided by coach after each session
• Unlimited email support between sessions

In some cases a client may want his coach to conduct an Observation. We call this process "Observational Coaching." During this process, the coach acts as a "mirror" for the client writing down specific, unbiased information about what the client wants observed as determined by the pre-observation session. A post observation session is conducted to review the information collected and discuss the impact on the client's thinking. Observational Coaching is non-evaluative and can provide vital feedback and information to the client about changes he would like to make in his personal and professional life.
