What The Coachee Can Expect During The Coaching Process:

Dr. Ehrlich will thoroughly assess the coachee in terms of talents, strengths, skills and competencies in relation to their current job and desired performance. Through support, challenge, feedback and homework, Dr. Ehrlich will help balance and develop these strengths to take the coachee to a higher level in their work related performance.

Coaching is a team effort, and the coachee will be expected to input into problem areas, areas of desired growth, and stimulated thinking in developing innovative solutions to work related situations. Dr. Ehrlich will work with the coachee's specific personal talent and skills as highlighted in the assessment and will utilize coaching techniques to enhance their job/task performance levels. He will also work closely with the coachee to help reach goals in all stated areas.

Confidentiality:

All coaching sessions will be held in strict confidentiality pending progress reports as ordered by senior management. In such cases, all reports will be presented to the coachee to read first and sign off on before turning in to management. A coach will not at any time, either directly or indirectly, voluntarily use or disclose any client's personal information to a third party, without expressed written approval of the client.

The Ethics Of Coaching:

Professional coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps clients produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their understandings, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client and coach will choose the focus of conversation. The coach will listen and contribute observations and questions as well as ideas. The interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing a greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching focuses on client's intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach's efforts and application of the coaching process.

All coaching abides by the code of ethics as listed by the International Coach Federation as found on their web site - see 'The ICF Code of Ethics'

Length Of Coaching:

The coaching process typically consists of one coaching session per week of approximately 50 minutes duration. These are usually conducted over the phone. Phone coaching eliminates travel time and provides greater flexibility, allowing client to be coached wherever they may be. Generally, the coaching process lasts a minimum of 12 weeks.

Spiritual Coaching:

Dr. Ehrlich has an exceptional background in religious and spiritual studies. He offers optional coaching in the area of spiritual mentoring. This area is for exploring personal growth and transformation. It is less fixated on specific religious doctrines and more inclined toward an exploration of spiritual potentialities that often unlock mental, emotional and spiritual wisdom in one's life.

Spiritual coaching is meant to remove the confusing array of mental and emotional barriers that work to serve as obstacles in life. We will seek empowerment for achieving higher states of consciousness, which will lead to a more authentic and satisfying life.
