FAQs
What is coaching?
First, let’s talk about what coaching is not. Coaching is not consulting, mentorship, or therapy. While those are all great practices and may share some of the same fundamental goals as coaching, there are some key differences. For example, therapy is about healing, whereas coaching is about moving forward.
So, what exactly is coaching, then? People define it differently, but at Revel&Awe, our executive coaching is all about providing support and accountability to help our clients excel in their professional lives. We work with our clients to set attainable career goals and help them stay on track to achieve them. An athlete might look to a coach for guidance, insight, and encouragement, but ultimately, it’s up to them to decide what play to make – and then execute it. Professional coaching is similar in that way; our certified professional coaches won’t clear your career hurdles for you, instead we’ll make sure you have all the tools you need to clear them yourself.
Who should consider individual coaching?
Short answer: everyone. We truly believe that all professionals on an executive track could benefit from coaching. Whether you’re suffering from imposter syndrome, considering a career shift, or anything in between, coaching can help you make the most of a transitionary period. At Revel&Awe we most often work with people in industries like:
Tech & startups
Media & online publications
Consulting
Non-profit
And more!
Please note that, if you need mental health support, you should reach out to a therapist, as coaching is not a substitute for therapy. Though they can work well in conjunction with one another!
What kind of organizations should consider partnering with Revel&Awe?
We work with companies of all sizes across many different verticals, including many startups seeking to establish strong people-focused cultures early on in their growth. However, we find we have the most success working with companies that place an emphasis on establishing a healthy and rewarding corporate culture, as well as companies that pride themselves on hiring highly motivated individuals. We love working with people, teams, and organizations who love to learn.
What’s the difference between Individual Coaching and Corporate Engagements & Training?
We endeavor to answer this question in depth on our Services page; but the short answer is that Individual Coaching is a one-on-one relationship with an individual, whereas companies will bring us in to host Corporate Engagements & Training. Sometimes our corporate work will include optional one-on-one or group coaching as part of working towards the company’s greater goals. In individual coaching, the individual sets their own goals.
How does coaching work?
First, we’ll assign you to whichever one of our certified coaches best meets your needs. Your coach will work with you to co-create a personalized plan that perfectly addresses your needs. Then, after establishing your goals and identifying any potential roadblocks, they’ll help you put your engagement plan into action! You can learn more about the process on our Services page.
What is the time commitment and what is expected of me?
Typically, we start with weekly or biweekly hour-long virtual sessions (by Zoom). This is especially true of our short-term clients, who come to us for help with a specific event or situation. Many of our clients who are committed to continuous growth opt to establish long-term relationships with their coaches in which they often transition into monthly check-ins. We can be flexible based on your needs and availability.
As for what is expected of you, we expect you to show up – for your coach and yourself – and treat your coach with respect.
Note that in-person coaching can be arranged on a case-by-case basis with individual clients or with companies.
How is Revel&Awe different from other coaches and coaching firms?
