What’s involved
Your Path to Resolution
A structured and supportive process for finding solutions.
1. Preliminary Assessment and Agreement to Mediate
We start by identifying each party’s concerns, goals, and willingness to engage informal mediation. A preliminary agreement is made to ensure that all participants understand the mediation process, respect confidentiality, and commit to the principles set forth by AMINZ.
2. Establishing Ground Rules
Setting a respectful and safe environment is essential. We begin by outlining ground rules for communication, including confidentiality, mutual respect, and a focus on constructive dialogue. This foundation ensures that all voices are heard,and the process remains productive.
3. Guided Discussion and Issue Identification
Through a structured conversation facilitated by me, each party shares their perspective on the issues at hand. This phase helps uncover underlying concerns, miscommunications, and emotional triggers, setting the stage for resolution.
4. Problem-solving and Solution Development
Using AMINZ-backed techniques, we collaboratively explore solutions that address the core issues. I guide each party through negotiation, helping them craft agreements that reflect shared values and respect individual needs.
Process
The Formal Mediation Process
A structured path towards understanding and resolution.
Free Initial Consultation

In this no-obligation consultation, we discuss the nature of the conflict, review mediation goals, and assess if formal mediation is the right path. This consultation helps establish trust and offers initial clarity.
Commitment to Mediate

Before the formal mediation begins, all parties sign a formal agreement outlining AMINZ guidelines and their commitment to the process. This step ensures transparency, confidentiality, and a shared dedication to resolving the conflict constructively.
Issue Exploration and Dialogue

I facilitate a balanced discussion where each party can voice their concerns and expectations. This guided exploration allows us to address the root causes of the conflict in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Collaborative Solution-Building

With the guidance of AMINZ principles, we work together to identify solutions that respect everyone’s needs and align with the values of fairness and mutual respect. This problem-solving phase focuses on sustainable agreements.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Your Questions About Personal Development Coaching, Answered
How will I know if I’m making progress in coaching?
We’ll measure progress by tracking the goals you set at the start and reflecting on changes in your confidence, relationships, and self-awareness. Each session includes a review of your wins and any areas for growth, so you can see tangible outcomes and recognize your achievements as they happen.
Can coaching help with issues like social anxiety or relationship challenges?
Yes, coaching can be highly effective in building social confidence, improving relationship skills, and overcoming anxiety-related obstacles. Together, we’ll develop tools to manage these challenges, helping you build genuine, fulfilling connections with others and feel more comfortable in social situations.
What if I feel this isn’t the right fit?
Building a strong, supportive relationship is essential for effective coaching. That’s why I offer a free initial consultation, so you can get a feel for my approach and determine if it aligns with your needs. If you feel uncertain at any point, we can openly discuss what adjustments might be needed or explore alternative resources. If you’re not satisfied at any time and want to end the coaching, I’ll offer a full refund.
What happens in a typical coaching session?
Each session is structured to give you both reflection and action. We’ll discuss your recent experiences, explore challenges, and build strategies to overcome them. I use a blend of open-ended questions, goal-setting exercises, and accountability measures to help you make meaningful progress. Every session is customized to suit where you are on your journey and what you need most at that moment.
How often should sessions be scheduled?
Most clients find that weekly sessions help maintain momentum and accountability, especially when starting. As progress is made, we may adjust to bi-weekly sessions or another schedule that best supports your needs. The frequency can be tailored based on your goals and preferences, ensuring you stay supported throughout the journey.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented, aimed at setting and achieving personal goals. It’s about building practical skills and addressing specific challenges in areas like relationships, social confidence, and personal growth. Therapy, on the other hand, often delves into past experiences and is typically used to address mental health conditions. Coaching is most beneficial for individuals looking to make proactive, goal-oriented changes in their lives.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Most clients start to notice shifts in mindset, confidence, and relationships within the first 30 days of regular coaching. However, progress varies depending on your specific goals, commitment, and the areas we’re working on. Together, we’ll set realistic milestones so you can see and feel the changes as they happen.
