Laser
coaching
sessions
“laser”
in
on
the
core
dynamic
of
a
situation.
Laser
coaching
gets
right
to
the
point,
addresses
the
main
roadblock,
and
creates
a
plan
to
burst
through
those
obstacles.
You
may
also
consider
adding
laser
coaching
to
your
coaching
packages.
For
example,
in
your
higher-‐priced
packages,
clients
may
also
get
5-‐minute
laser
sessions
in
between
their
regular
sessions
(more
on
packaging
later).
Laser
sessions
are
usually
intense,
as
you
aren’t
going
into
a
lot
of
the
“story”
or
“background”
of
a
situation.
Its
simply
here
is
where
you
are;
now
where
do
you
want
to
go?
The
main
goal
of
a
laser
coaching
session
isn’t
for
it
to
be
“short,”
rather;
the
session
is
short
because
it’s
the
by-‐product
of
effective
and
efficient
coaching.
The
more
experience
you
have
coaching,
the
less
time
it
will
take
you
to
“coach”
your
clients.
You
will
be
able
to
get
to
the
root
of
the
issue
faster
and
ask
questions
that
are
spot-‐on.
In
the
beginning,
you
may
find
it
more
comfortable
to
coach
for
45-‐60
minutes
so
that
you
have
plenty
of
time.
Soon,
you
will
notice
that
what
used
to
take
you
an
hour
is
now
only
taking
you
20-‐30
minutes.
It
has
been
said
that
the
difference
in
a
coach
who
charges
$50
an
hour
compared
to
a
coach
that
charges
$500
an
hour
is
that
the
coach
who
charges
$500
an
hour
can
accomplish
in
30
minutes
what
might
take
the
$50
an
hour
coach
several
Laser
coaching
sessions
can
stand
alone,
or
you
can
hold
a
5-‐
minute
laser
coaching
session
in
the
middle
of
a
regular
session
when
a
problem
arises
that
needs
direct
attention.
• Have
the
client
prepare
for
the
call
and
pre-‐identify
what
they
will
be
coached
on
to
save
time
on
the
call
• Go
deep
with
clients.
In
a
laser-‐coaching
session,
you
don’t
have
time
for
the
“why”
this
is
happening
to
them
or
“who
did
what.”
Hold
the
client
accountable
and
encourage
them
to
identify
the
dynamics
of
the
situation
concisely
instead
of
explaining
themselves.
• Speak
the
truth
as
you
see
it,
and
be
honest
with
your
client.
• Don’t
be
afraid
to
challenge
the
clients
views
and
beliefs
Just
because
you
are
being
firm
with
their
clients,
doesn’t
mean
you
are
telling
them
what
they
SHOULD
do
or
what
you
WOULD
do.
You
are
still
coaching.
Laser
coaching
may
not
be
appealing
for
a
brand
new
coach
or
a
coach
who
has
a
more
gentle
approach.
Because
of
the
short
time
period,
it’s
best
for
coaches
who
can
be
tough,
and
clients
who
thrive
with
a
tough
coach.
5. Say
what’s
on
your
mind
and
be
honest
with
the
client
(not
about
what
you
THINK
they
should
do,
but
more
about
all
the
different
possibilities
and
outcomes
for
your
client).
