GETTING THE MOST OUT OF
YOUR ADVISING SESSION
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Procure a dedicated notebook for your process. Keep it with you to log ideas and questions in preparation for your upcoming session.
- Take 15-30 minutes to write about where you are right now with your business. What’s working? What’s not working?
- Write down the 3 topics you want to discuss in your appointment. Be as specific as possible.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Take notes. Write down observations, questions and insights that emerge in your session.
- Be curious. Trust your intuition. Stay open. If you have an eccentric idea or unexpected synchronicity, don’t ignore it—share it.
- If something you hear doesn’t resonate with you, trust yourself. Take what's useful and leave the rest.
- If you feel overwhelmed, misunderstood or frustrated, speak up.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
Immediately after your appointment, spend 30-60 minutes journaling about your session or go for a walk to allow yourself to integrate.
- What ideas emerged?
- What excited and inspired you?
- What triggered you, made you feel resistance, fear or frustration? Why?
- What revealed itself?
- If you have more clarity around your vision and what you need to do, write down your intentions and next steps.
- Remember—if you ask the question, you will get the answer. Write your questions down (even the big, foreboding ones). Allow the answers to arrive in their own time.
