Just waiting for my last feedback form

This will be my last post for this year. I'm just waiting for the final client to send back his feed back forms and I will then be able to apply for my qualification. As yet, I haven't taken on amore more clients, free or otherwise. I'm hoping that in the new year it will be easier to pick them up, as people are less stressed and once the holiday period is over people can start thinking a bit more about themselves and what the want to do in the new year.

If you would be interested in being coached next year, I have several chargable slots available and at the moment 1 free slot. Please contact me via my main website and I'll contact you in the new year. http://www.pgb-life-coaching.info

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, I hope Santa brings you everything you want, but your friends and loved ones give you everything you NEED :-)

All six clients completed!!!!

Well it's been just over one year since I started coaching and I have now completed my 6th and final client required for my qualification. I just have to wait for them to send in their feed back forms and I will be able to apply for my coaching qualification.

I have decided to continue coaching 1-2 clients per week for free until I have received my qualification and for the foreseeable future. Even when I start charging next year I will still reserve a space for 1-2 free of charge clients.

When I do begin to charge I estimate that my initial charges will be £400 per month, this will include 4 sessions per month and unlimited email contact. I've come to this figure by looking around at similar personal services around the London area and also taking into consideration the type of client I wish to take on. The additional factor is that i wish to make enough money to cover my existing pay from my current day job.

Help! Need two more people!

Well it's been a year since I started my training and I have already coached 5 people through the full 6 sessions. Also numerous one off sessions. Sadly one of my 6 session clients has gone non-responsive with out completing the feedback forms :-( so I have to do at least another two people for the full course to complete my training.

I've posted a few comments from my previous clients on my website, http://www.pgb-life-coaching.info

If you know someone that would benefit from these free sessions, froma nearly qualified :-) coach then please either send me their telephone number so that I can have a chat with them, or drop me a line viaemail.

Thanks very much!

Progress update

I've now completed 4 clients. Two of them have already sent back their appraisal forms. Some really great feed back. I'll have to put up a couple of comments that they gave me.

I've booked an appointment with a new client that will start with me next week. So I still need at least one more to complete my portfolio, assuming that everyone else I have already completed sends in their forms.

If you know anyone that may be interested send them to my website so that they can contact me. Http://www.pgbailey.com

Halfway through!

I've now completed 2 more clients, I already have another one underway and have begun advertising for the final 2 clients. So I feel like I'm at the halfway mark.

After the Easter break I will begin to review my work so far and start to get my course work up to scratch so that once I complete my client portfolio I can apply for my qualification. I've had a couple of people contact me through my website as possible clients but until I speak with them and make sure they aren't completely barking I'll keep searching for more.

I'm almost thinking about what I will do once I have completed my course. I'm considering continuing the free sessions in the evenings, just so that I keep praticing and gaining experience. Although I'll no longer advertise as offering a free service, I may suggest a free taster and see how that goes. At the moment, I feel the experience is more important than the money. Especially as I would only be able to do the coaching a couple of nights a week as I still have a full time job, so it's hardly going to be bringing in anything more than a bit of pocket money.

One client done, 5 more to go

I completed my 6th and final session with my first client that started being coached by me in early November. I must admit I actually felt quite emotional. I had been coaching him every week, for sixs weeks, bar a small break for Christmas. Although the main objective is to complete the sessions and get the feedback form so I can earn the credits, I actually felt far more envolved that I expeted too. It really took me by surprise how much I cared about how this person had grown since we first started talking in Novmember. Also how he was going to continue on from this point. I seriously hope that he drops me an email every so often just to let me know how he is getting on.
