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!

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.

Three more (free) clients

I've coached three new people over the last two days. Two went swimmingly well and the other one was strange. I can't quite put my finger on what was the problem. I can't really say more otherwise I'll be in breach of confidence. But I'll be very interested to see what happens next week.

I'll be doing my last coaching sessions for this year with these three people next week. Then I'll be having a break for until the new year.

I've decided to do coaching on Tuesday and Wednesday nights with a maximum of two sessions per night. That way it will be easy to keep a work/life/coaching balance without it taking over. Which could be quite easy! I'd much rather be coaching than working my current job for sure. But until I pass my qualification and start charging for the coaching sessions I'm just going to have to take things easy.

I've worked out that I only need about 10 more points and then all I'll have to do is complete my 6 coaching clients/sessions and I'll be able to apply for my basic qualification.

I've decided to just go for the basic qualification this time round as I've never been a great one to study, so I'm setting myself an easy goal that I know I can acheive. Maybe later, once I have more experience I go for something with a bit more clout. Maybe....

2 new possible coaching clients!

Wow after just a few days my new website http//www.pgbailey.com has drawn the atttention of two people interested in receiving some life coaching sessions.

As I am still training I'm offering 6 free sessions as these will give me credits towards my final qualification.

I'll let you know if they do decide to take me up on my offer.

Also today my business cards turned up. Every small step seems to take me closer to becoming a life coach for real.
