Coaching provides supportive, practical, concrete help. It is not psychotherapy. It is more like a sports coach, mentor, tutor, or fitness trainer. Denslow provides a conversational environment for motivation, clarity, creativity, problem solving, new skills, planning, productivity, accountability and results. Convenient and Flexible SupportCoaching can be conducted in person or by telephone, e-mail, regular mail or fax. It's quite often conducted over the phone because it is efficient, convenient, inexpensive, focusing, practical and private. Denslow offers a coaching structure that includes three 30-45 minutes sessions per month when working with clients with ADD, with entrenched organizing issues or even when mentor coaching (e.g., with an organizer or coach) if there is lots of immediate work to be done. She finds that three sessions a month provide adequate consistency to keep the momentum and learning moving forward at a solid pace. In addition, making three sessions is pretty easily achieved in a month; the week off provides convenient flexibility. In mentor coaching it is not uncommon to "meet" with clients just once or twice a month. This less-frequent structure is also the pattern that is followed as a three-times-a-month client begins achieving consistent success in their coaching goals. At the end of a coaching relationship, Denslow and her clients move to an on-call structure. The Client-Coach PartnershipPeople understand, grow and learn more if they are a participant in the coaching process. The medium of coaching (phone, email, etc.) the frequency, the goals, the topics addressed, the structure of the calls, whether to use each or any of the instruments Denslow offers to assess a client's functioning - all this is decided in conjunction with the client. She has experience which suggests a structure (and that is often the starting place we choose) but this is always open to discussion. Denslow does not believe there is one right way to do it. However, there is a great way to do it for each client - and that way varies, even over the lifetime of each coaching relationship. Please understand that Denslow is quite willing to work with any structure developed together. A Coach Directs a ProcessA coach starts by listening for (and helping to identify, if necessary) clear and motivating goals for each client. Each coaching session includes the elements of listening, review, revelation and strategy. In subsequent sessions the experience of working the strategy is discussed. What strength was revealed? What internal or external obstacle encountered? Individuals become aware of their functioning and abilities in a way that was hidden from them before. Together you find your growing edge of change and progress and build on your strengths, values and enthusiasms. An Expert in How to Get OrganizedProfessional Organizers are the first to learn about the newest organizing products and the most experienced in seeing them "at work" in a variety of settings. We are experts at individual efficiency, systems, time and project management, work and paper flow, teamwork and delegation strategies, etc. I have spent a quarter of century organizing people and helping them build strong skills and systems. We can focus on career goals, organizing issues at work or in the home, skill building, finances, healthy lifestyle choices, optimal functioning, education, community work, achieving balance, joy, or a simpler life, or "finding your path." FeesDenslow's coaching fee is $150 per 50 minute session. Her practice includes a limited number of sliding scale slots for those who need financial accommodation.
