Couragio Consulting

At Couragio Consulting, we offer individual coaching plans designed to meet and exceed the identified needs and goals of the client. Our clients tell us they enjoy working with us because we maintain a positive coaching environment that maintains their self-confidence and self-esteem, while at the same time challenging them to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new, more effective skills. While they don't particularly "enjoy" receiving direct and honest feedback about their skills, they do value the opportunity to receive such feedback so they can strengthen their skills as efficiently as possible. Our clients also appreciate that we are not in the business of changing personalities and forcing clients to adopt a particular presentation style or personality. Rather, we identify the characteristics of each person's personality and then work with the individual to enhance their presentation and communication skills within the context of their own established personality. Our proven and highly effective coaching process is called the "Couragio Method." Although our unique process of coaching through skill evaluation, guided self-discovery, direct feedback, role-playing and customized presentation exercises can feel somewhat awkward and uncomfortable for the client, the ultimate goal is to develop confident, top-notch presentation and communication skills that the client can use long into the future. Participants find our coaching programs challenging, enjoyable, highly effective and extremely rewarding, both personally and professionally. To help our clients effectively manage their presentation and communication skill-development goals, we offer various coaching options, as described below: Initial Consultation - during this 30-45 minute session the coach meets with the client and explains how the Couragio Method works, what is expected of the client during the coaching process, and learns what the basic needs and goals of the client are; Skill Assessment - during this 1-1.5 hour session the coach will video record the client engaged in a presentation/communication event. The coach and client will then review the video-recorded presentation and identify areas of success and potential improvement based on the client's performance on the video. A customized skill-development plan is then designed for the client. Emergency Coaching - this is hourly, just-in-time coaching for an impending presentation or communication event for which longer-term preparation is not possible. Coaching sessions scheduled with less than 1 week's notice are considered "emergency" coaching; Basic Skill-Builder - individual coaching plan comprised of five (5) approximately 1.5 hour skill development sessions. These can be used as the client wishes, for example, every day, every week, every 2 weeks, as needed, etc. Advanced Skill-Builder - individual coaching plan comprised of eight (8) approximately 1.5-hour skill development sessions. In addition to four (4) skill development coaching, this plan offers the client assistance in securing two (2) community presentation opportunities (paid or unpaid) includes two (2) pre-event event-specific coaching sessions, the coach's attendance at the two (2) community presentation events, video recording of each of the community presentation events, and debriefing and feedback immediately following each presentation event. Basic Skill-Builder/Advanced Skill-Builder Combo - this plan includes all the features of the basic and advanced skill-builder plans at a discounted rate.
