Just In Time Coaching

Fast, Effective, Powerful...

Have you ever had an issue and would have loved to be able to pick up the phone and speak to a coach without waiting for your next appointment, which may be weeks away?

For example;

~You have a staff member who has stepped over the line with another staff member. However, they are bringing in a large amount of business and you would prefer not to lose them, and yet it is important that a clear boundary is drawn. You need to speak with them urgently and would like to discuss and role play the potential conversation with your coach today.~

~You have a critical meeting and want a specific outcome. You would like to discuss ways to achieve this. You have some ideas, and would like a few more, plus maybe some reframing.~

~You are really struggling to get motivated about a particular project. You don’t know why, but it is important that you get moving with it.~

~You have to write a letter and would like help on the wording, and the message clarity.~

~You have a set of goals to achieve that are critical, and want to report in to your coach to hold you accountable daily.~

Just in Time Coaching is exactly that. As a Just in Time Coaching Client you have access to your coach “Just in Time” and when you most need the coaching. Fast, efficient, powerful.

Just in Time Coaching is billed on a monthly basis with a 6 or 12 month commitment. You pay a retainer for the opportunity to have coaching when you need it.

As we all know, life happens in cycles, and with a great deal of unpredictability. Sometimes we need a lot of coaching support on a more frequent basis, sometime we need less or none. Most clients find that the cycles balance out over the six-twelve months.

All Just in Time Coaching occurs by telephone.

As a Just in Time Coaching Client, you email or text your coach to request a Just in Time session. You indicate how much time you would like, or believe you will need. Calls can be from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. If more than 60 minutes is required, the coach will schedule this extra time with you. Generally calls are quick- 5 to 15 minutes. Often times the coach will also work with you offline, refining an email or letter that you may be working on.

Sometimes your issue may be resolved in a very short time, and your coach may determine that there are some underlying developmental issues that need to be raised. If this is the case, the coach will suggest a mutually convenient time to complete the conversation and go to more depth.

If you do not feel you are getting the value from your coach, or that the Just in Time process is NOT working for you, raise this with your coach and we will find a solution that creates a win for you. We are committed to you getting value from the Just in Time experience or to create an experience that will give you value.

If the coach feels that you are using the Just in Time Coaching program with too much frequency requiring much more depth in the coaching, they will suggest that you take up an alternate program, such as regularly scheduled coaching sessions-, Amchara Coaching, or Jiminy Cricket Coaching, for example.

The intent and beauty behind the Just in Time Coaching process is coaching when you need it in a quick and efficient way. Very Lazer like.

You will be suitable for this type of coaching if you do NOT have any major development issues to work on and are someone who likes to get into an issue, clean it up, and get on with things. You want to really leverage your leadership development. As a Positive Deviant, you also want to work with a coach who understands you and delivers coaching in an innovative way.

There are limited spots for Just In Time Coaching clients. We want to be sure you get the coaching when you need it.

To get started with Just In Time Coaching, you need to do the following.

1. Email us requesting a meeting to discuss JIT Coaching to be sure this is what you are looking for.

2. We will set up a time for a telephone meeting to discuss exactly what we do and how this will be relevant to you now. This meeting is at no charge. We want to be absolutely sure that this process is for you and that you will get the value you seek from the experience.

3. Once we have agreed that JIT Coaching is the right program for you, and we have a vacancy,we will send you some simple forms to complete and get your first months payment. Forms take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

4. We will send you instructions outlining the procedure for making an appointment. The first appointment will be a scheduled appointment for 30 to 45 minutes so that you and your coach get to know each other and determine best ways to work together.

5. JIT Coaching will be scheduled by you, as per your needs for the 6 to 12 month term.

6. If the coach has not heard from you, you will expect to hear from the Coach just to check in and see if all is well, plus to ask some questions about how you may best use this service. Many people are not used to being able to pick up the phone and get quality support on a Just in Time basis, and so in the beginning your coach will train you on how to build this time saving habit.

7. Throughout the JIT Coaching program, the coach will ask you for feedback on what is working and what is not working.

8. At the end of the agreed time period, you have the option of continuing with the JIT Coaching or not.
