#027 - Setting the foundations for a 1:1 coaching intensive

This episode is something I'm really excited to share with you. It's an excerpt from a one-off event I ran two years ago, called "The 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked". Here's the backstory: As you may be aware, one of the way I love to work with my clients is by doing a 3-day, 1:1 coaching intensive. I find that the intensive format means you can achieve in a few days what would previously have taken a whole year to accomplish, so it's a really powerful format. So in my book RESULTS, one of the chapters included a story about the time one of my apprentices, the coach Ankush Jain, sat in and observed while I did a 3-day 1:1 Intensive with a client, so he could have an experience of what it's like to do an intensive. When that book came out, I had lots of people come to me and ask if they could sit in on an intensive. I understand - it's hard to do something you don't have a reference experience for, and most coaches and therapists have never experienced an intensive. But it just wasn't practical for me to have groups of students sitting in on my intensives. So I managed to come up with something even better: I created a special event, where I conducted a 3-day, High-Value 1:1 Coaching Intensive, with a real, live, paying client, and we filmed the whole thing. Not only that: The whole time I was doing the intensive, there was a video feed to another room where a live audience of coaches, therapists, trainers and business people were watching and listening to the entire intensive. Before and after each intensive session, I came into the room with them to unpack everything that was going on. And we got all that on film too! So in this podcast episode, you're going to hear the opening session that I did with that group of coaches, therapists and other professionals. You're going to hear me 'laying the ground' and setting the foundations for the whole experience, including some of the most important distinctions you need to pay attention to when you're doing an intensive.
