Before we chat I thought you may find it beneficial to learn more about us and what we do. You can find some information in the links below

It’s important to us that you feel informed and as comfortable as possible going into the consultation. It’s ok to be nervous before we chat, we can get nervous too! Here is a general structure of our consultation:

1. Check-In: Imagine all the typical stuff you talk about when meeting a new person or when greeting someone. We can talk about the weather, what you had for breakfast, that person who cut you off on the highway, that crazy dream you had, etc. This is where I learn how you are doing at the moment.

2. Learning: This is where we learn about what brought you to the point of booking this consultation. Now we don’t need to know everything about you. We don’t need to know about your favourite colour, your most embarrassing moment in high school, or if you think a hot dog is a sandwich (it’s not). But you can share if you would like.

   We will be asking some questions to understand you as much as we can. It’s important to us that we understand where you are coming from. If we ask something that you are not comfortable answering that is fine! Just tell us to shut up :)

   Things we could ask include: where you are from, what you do for work, what your experience with exercise is, etc.

3. Investigation: This is where we dive into the goals you have for yourself and the barriers you are dealing with. We want to know what you have tried in the past, what has worked for you, and what didn’t work. This is a judgment-free conversation. All we are trying to learn is where you currently are so that we can move forward together to accomplish your goals (or to find someone else who is a better fit to take you there).

4. Process: If we determine that we can help you with the goals you have and the barriers you are dealing with we will discuss the process required to get you where you want to be. Now we are not fortune tellers, nor do we offer quick fixes. We strive to find long-term solutions for clients and we will discuss what that solution requires and the costs (time, effort, and money) associated.

5. Questions and Concerns: We want you to feel confident in our plan. This drastically increases the likelihood of success. If you have any questions or concerns, the floor will be yours and we will go through them until we are both on the same page.

6. Enrolment/Next Steps: If we chose to work together we will discuss the next steps for us. This will include a mutual contract, gathering information needed to get you started, and determining a start date. If someone or something else is needed instead of my services we will discuss where to go from there.

If you have any questions you would like answered before our consultation, you can reach me us email (info@newnarrativetraining.ca) or on Instagram (@newnarrativetraining).
