Most of the people who are interested in being clients in an awakening coaching relationship are professionals, very often with a role of leadership, either professionally or within their community. We coach business leaders. We coach doctors. We coach psychotherapists. We coach lawyers. We coach all kinds of people who are recognizing that the old modality of business as usual is no longer working, and that the rapid shifts in today"s external business environment also requires shifts in the internal environment of today"s professional.
Many of our clients have reached some sort of a brick wall in their professional life. Sometimes this is financial. They"ve had some sort of a breakdown of their capacity to earn in the way they used to. Sometimes it"s more emotional or even you could say "spiritual," in the sense that they"ve lost motivation or they"ve lost belief in the modality they were used to. When someone has come to explore the limits of what they"re capable of on their own, then awakening coaching can be a very rewarding relationship indeed.

What does the coaching relationship look like?

The relationship between a coach and a client generally lasts for an eight week contract which involves five longer sessions, (over the phone or in person) done every two weeks. During these five sessions the coach will practice the kind of skills with their client that have been described elsewhere on the site.
The relationship between coach and client is very intensive. As well as sessions every two weeks, the client sends a daily report to their coach by email.
At the beginning of the coaching relationship we set up a number of objectives, specific habits which we want to see cleared up during the eight-week period, specific objectives we want to reach. Sometimes these are financial. Sometimes they are in terms of the way we relate to other people. By and large we see a very high proportion of these objectives are met during the eight-week relationship.
The average price which our coaches are currently charging their clients is about $1,500 for an eight week relationship. This includes the five sessions, reading and reviewing email reports every day, and if necessary, responding to the client with short phone calls to tweak the practices between these regular sessions.
You can probably take on about 20 to 40 clients at a time.
As a coach, you are self-employed; it is also up to you to get out and meet people and talk to people about this kind of work, and to introduce the possibilities of awakening coaching to potential clients. We provide some support, both in terms of marketing skills and training, and in terms of client referrals.
