GETTING THE MOST OUT
OF YOUR CONSULTING SESSIONS
BEFORE YOUR FIRST SESSION
Take time to do some journaling. Write freely—resist the urge to edit, censor, or overthink it.
Suggested Writing Prompts—
✺ What's going really well in your work/business/org right now? Share your recent strengths & successes.
✺ What's not working? Where do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain or lost? In other words, where are you ready to grow?
✺ What is the number one thing you want to focus on in your consulting sessions?
✺ What would success look like for you? In other words, what do you want to accomplish through our work together?
REVIEW WHAT YOU’VE WRITTEN
Look for recurring thoughts and patterns. Are there any surprises or unexpected insights? Review your journaling to identify your priorities for your session.
BEFORE EACH SESSION
✺ Write down 1 or 2 topics you want to discuss in your session. Be specific.
✺ Wear comfortable clothes. You may lie down or do some gentle movement.
✺ Set up your Zoom area with water, pens and paper.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
Immediately after your session, go for a walk, meditate, or spend 30-60 minutes journaling. This will allow you to integrate what we discussed.
Suggested After Writing Prompts—
✺ What revealed itself?
✺ What ideas excited and inspired you?
✺ Did you have any breakthroughs?
✺ Did you have any breakdowns?
✺ When did you feel resistance, fear or frustration? What are those feelings telling you?
✺ What NEW questions emerged for you?
✺ What are your intentions/next steps?
DURING EACH SESSIon
✺ Stay present in your body. It's more important to stay in the moment than to worry about writing everything down. You’ll have access to the recording of your session for 6 months so there’s no need to transcribe what’s said.
✺ Trust your intuition. If you have an eccentric idea, subtle feeling, or unexpected association, don’t ignore it or suppress it. Sometimes the smallest, silliest thoughts lead to the biggest breakthroughs.
✺ If something I say doesn’t sound right to you, trust yourself. I’m a human, not an oracle. You know what’s right for you. If you feel overwhelmed, misunderstood or frustrated, speak up.
✺ Please show up to your session sober.
