Your First Coaching Session with Form and Flame: What to Expect

By Tim Patrick | Executive Coach, Form and Flame

ree

🧭 A Thoughtful, Confidential Conversation

Coaching is a structured, forward-looking partnership—not therapy or consulting. In our first session, my priority is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Everything we discuss is confidential. You don’t need to have all the answers—this is your space to explore what matters most to you.

🎯 Clarifying Your Intentions

Many clients begin coaching with a sense that something needs to shift—whether it’s a leadership challenge, a career decision, or a desire for greater clarity. You don’t need perfectly defined goals. Together, we’ll begin to shape your intentions and identify what success looks like for you.

Common coaching themes include:

  • Strategic leadership development

  • Navigating change or uncertainty

  • Building confidence and presence

  • Managing stress and avoiding burnout

  • Enhancing communication and influence

🧠 Understanding Your Context

To coach effectively, I’ll take time to understand your professional landscape—your role, responsibilities, challenges, and aspirations. This ensures our work is grounded in your real-world context and tailored to your needs.

🛠 Introducing the Coaching Framework

During our first session, I’ll walk you through how coaching works at Form and Flame, including:

  • The structure and rhythm of sessions

  • Tools and approaches we may use

  • How we’ll measure progress

  • What support looks like between sessions

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and shape the process to suit your preferences.

🌱 Establishing a Foundation for Growth

By the end of our first session, you’ll likely leave with:

  • Greater clarity on your goals and direction

  • A sense of structure and possibility

  • One or two actionable insights or reflections

  • A clear understanding of how we’ll work together

This session is not about solving everything at once—it’s about laying the groundwork for meaningful, sustainable growth.

📞 Ready to Begin?

If you’re considering coaching but unsure where to start, I invite you to schedule a complimentary discovery call. It’s a chance for us to connect, explore your goals, and determine whether coaching is the right fit for you.
