Welcome to LFY Consulting and congratulations on taking the first and most important step in getting unstuck, finding more meaning in life and at work, and achieving the life you desire.

Coaching session expectations and essentials:

Please be on time for your coaching sessions and in an environment without distractions. If you are unsure if you can take a session in a specific environment ask yourself how you would feel if I was joining the session in the same way (driving, working out, eating food, etc).
The coach is responsible for assigning “homework” that will lead you toward the goals of your program. As the client you will be responsible for completing the assignments, or being open if you are not able to complete the assignments. Completed assignments should be submitted 24 hours prior to the scheduled coaching session. It is best to set a calendar notification when you want to work on the exercises during the week. Note: Assignments are not REQUIRED they are an additional benefit of choosing Live for Yourself Consulting and unique addition in comparison to other programs that will enhance the progress toward your goals.
Carve out time to think about the coaching conversations immediately after a session. Calendar invitations for sessions will have an extra 5 mins added to them (1 hour and 5 minutes) for personal reflection. Sessions are 60-mins with a buffer of 5 mins for personal reflection. It is recommended you schedule 15 mins or so outside of that time as well.
If a book, podcast, or other resource is recommended it is not because I think it’d help, it’s because I know it will. Place a high level of trust and importance on resources that are shared.
The success of a program largely depends on the level of trust and honesty between the client and coach. Both client and coach agree to say everything and anything that comes to mind, and voice their opinions, even if there may be a disagreement. This relationship and program will not be successful without our ability to speak to each other openly, and without concern of judgement. Everything that happens during this relationship is meant to be helpful and oriented toward your growth. Please respond to reflective statements and questions even when it feels uncomfortable. This is the best opportunity for transformation. The coach is a tool for you to use and lead you closer to your goals.
Your coach may interrupt a story or if you are getting to much into details when it does not relate to your progress or growth. It is meant to keep you on track, get to the bottom line, and continue moving forward. LFY coaching is action and solution oriented.
If something IS or ISN’T working for you, let your coach know. Feedback is important. This is all about YOU, so make sure that you also feel empowered to question something or give your opinion about the process.
Overall be an active participant, not only a curious bystander. I will respond to you and expect the same from clients.
Everything that is said or occurs during a coaching program is confidential unless governed by law.

Program logistics

Communication between the coach and client can be conducted through any medium during the duration of the program but it is recommended that the client download Voxer (https://www.voxer.com/individuals), a walkie-talkie app, for it’s ease of use and the ability to reply quickly to any client need. When downloaded please send a message to @drbenjaminritter.
Coaching sessions are normally conducted through Zoom audio sessions (https://zoom.us/). You can use Zoom on your phone or computer. Adjustments will be made if Zoom is not able to be used.
Session dates and times are set on a concurrent basis at the start of a program. If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, you must let me know at least 24 hours in advance by either voxer or emailing benjaminritter@lfyconsulting.com or you will automatically forfeit that session. The coach reserves the right to hold the client responsible and use a session if 24-hour notice is not provided. Exceptions will only be made in extreme emergencies.
With a 24-hour notice you are able to switch the time and date of 1 session for a 4-session program, 2 sessions for an 8-session program, and 3-sessions for a 12-session program prior to forfeiting the session. If a client does not show up to a scheduled session without any notice or is 15-mins late that session will be forfeited and a conversation will need to be had to decide if the coach and client wish to continue the program. Overall the scheduled session time is your dedicated time with the coach, you are accountable for making it work.
Again, honesty is incredibly important. If at any point in time you are found to be lying about something that significantly impacts the program, i.e. session availability, exercises, etc, the coach has the right to stop the program without a refund.
You will also receive emails from two main addresses throughout the program; benjaminritter@lfyconsulting.com and lfyconsultingclientsessions@gmail.com
Other than the communication tools we already discussed you are also able to call or text (224-766-0383) as needed throughout the program.

What to expect during your first and following coaching sessions:

Your first coaching session will spend time reviewing and defining measurable goals for the course of your program, setting measurable objectives, deciding on your preferred format for communication and assignments, and providing immediate solutions or strategies to deal with present concerns.
At the end of the session you will receive an email with the measurable goals and objectives for the course of your program, notes from the session, immediate solutions, and assignments for the following week.
Subsequent sessions will involve discussing your weekly summary, assignments, other issues and growth opportunities that develop, and checking progress toward your program goals. Despite having a program structure and specific goals, YOU still set the agenda for each coaching session.

Remember, assignments are not REQUIRED and they are an additional benefit of choosing Live for Yourself Consulting. They are a unique addition in comparison to other programs that will enhance the progress toward your goals. By no means should the assignments cause you greater stress, they should create excitement.
