What is your coaching style?
Here's the deal.
In each of my coaching/critique sessions, there is a specific goal that I want to achieve with the client. The first session is the consultation and assessment where I go over each client's specific goals for their writing project. Every session following will be an engaging yet challenging discussion and reflection of the client's thoughts, passions, and skills. I will identify the assets the client already has and provide them with strategic, creative, powerful, and effective options and critiques to workshop their writing. I will walk the client through my thoughts as I am reading and I will offer alternative ways to communicate the same information. We must agree on every major edit, not including technical grammar and syntax. My coaching style is primarily led by the client to ensure that the editing process still honors the integrity and authenticity of their ideas while enhancing the strength, tone, and effectiveness of their writing samples. Each session equips clients with skills they can apply to other writing tasks in the future. My ultimate goal is for my clients to advance their writing skills to powerfully convey their thoughts without any support.
