Individual Coaching


We can accommodate your immediate and/or unique needs for career and life decision-making in one-on-one sessions carried on in person, by telephone or correspondence.

The Focus is on assessing your current situation and devising strategies for your optimum success

Each session begins with outlining your objectives for the session.

Alternatives for your planning and actions will be examined and new options introduced where appropriate. As a team you, with the guidance and support of your coach will be:

  • Evaluating existing information on you, your work, its products and practices

  • Discovering and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing your current job

  • Gathering high quality information bearing on the current issues before you

  • Reviewing your previous relevant experience

  • Profiting from having a sounding board

  • Assembling and assessing the broad range of your strengths

  • Clarifying your values, beliefs and interests and matching these to the options you generate

  • Establishing and/or examining your goals and objectives to insure that they are appropriately challenging

  • Revealing significant patterns, opportunities and hazards in key areas of life and work

  • Uncovering alternatives and developing existing ones with a clear eye to their consequences

  • Developing your very specific criteria for decision making

  • Addressing whichever of your attitudes, skills or understandings or yours or others actions may need attention

  • Discovering new skills and engaging in their practice and refinement and achieve exceptional results

You will discover that individual coaching will enable you to make later decisions as well with greater ease and exceptional results.

The Methods we use in coaching you include:

  • Listening to your summary of actions taken or anticipated

  • Reviewing the materials you have developed

  • Questioning as well as providing observations and suggestions

  • Guiding you through exercises

  • Engaging in role plays or simulations

  • Reacting to your ideas

  • Bringing in or referring you to other resources

Preparation is usually required for each coaching session and is to be completed prior to your call or meeting as it improves the productivity of our time together.

  • You will receive specific guidelines to support the planning, data collection, strategies and techniques we develop with you.

  • The work requires you to think carefully, take some specific action and record information to be used during the session.

  • An important part of preparation for any session is to frame the objectives for that session.  It is your time!

  • Since you are uniquely you; your program is designed to fit you, your pace and your needs. 

In-Person Meetings are helpful, but not necessary or required. All contacts are opportunities to practice techniques, use feedback and familiarize you with other Crystal-Barkley resources.

Telephone, fax and e-mail are the way much of our coaching is done. 

The Fee structure is completely up to you.

  • We can begin working with you individually almost immediately for a one-hour fee of $225.

  • If you wish to continue you may pay as you go at this rate, or purchase a package of five hours for $875 (a $175 hourly rate).
