FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Life Coaching?
Here’s a brief video introduction of Mike Wright and the Coaching the Crossroads experience
What should I know about one-on-one Coaching?
FREE CONSULTATION: When you send a contact form here I will reach out to schedule a free initial coaching consultation so we can learn a bit more about one another and determine if a coaching relationship will be a good fit. There will be intake forms for you to complete and together we will set a starting point and future goals. You can expect regular Advance Work that will include a personal story, responding to questions, and other written work. This will be a valuable part of our coaching sessions.
COST: Packages are custom fit to the client and may be a focused series or longer intervals. The sessions are generally 50-minutes in length and can happen in a personal one-on-one format or online through Zoom. The rate will be discussed during the consultation.
Why do folks usually meet for life coaching?
In my experience the issue that brought me to coaching or therapy, was a thread leading to deeper themes. This is possible for you. Here are some specific ways our coaching relationship may begin, and end. Common statements I hear from men seeking coaching:
”I’m feeling aimless and flat. I need to find some help finding direction and life.”
“My partner keeps telling me to go figure my stuff out. She’s done telling me what to do and says I need to grow up.”
“I just loss my… [fill in the blank] and I don’t know what’s next.”
“I’m worried about my child. I don’t know how to help them.”
“I’m angry all the time. I’ve kept a lid on it but am finding it harder to recently.”
“Something blew up in my marriage and I don’t know what to do.”
“I don’t know who I am any more. I want to figure that out.”
“My wife and I were in the same place in our faith at the beginning of our marriage, but not anymore. How do I navigate changing beliefs and the gap growing between us in this area?”
How will Life Coaching enhance my life?
Ultimately, men are wondering if the investment of time and money will be worthwhile. I come with a very pragmatic approach - fresh ideas and insights have great power when they can be put into practice. Here are some ways men I work with experience a return on their investment!
Become aware of your personal and relational blindspots
Reduce shame and the false sense of safety it provides
Explore unwanted behaviors and establish life-giving rituals
Identify over-arching themes in your life trajectory
Improve capacity for attunement and empathy in relationships
Make life decisions in alignment with your true self
Feel seen and valued
Receive honest, helpful feedback
What group coaching opportunities are available?
MEN’S BOOK TALK: This is a free opportunity to meet with other men for a short discussion on a book. We will all read (or audio) the same book. Discussion questions will guide the conversation. Location and date will be coordinated with each month’s group.
MEN’S STORY GROUP: This is an 8-session group where each participant will write a personal story from a provided prompt. In our two-hours together we will read our stories and take time to engage one another’s story. A framework of active listening, insight-sharing and encouragement will provide a transformative place. The Men’s Story Group is a space for friendship building, enhanced listening skills, and a refreshing experience of feeling seen.
