Self-Reflection
Students complete an online profile form and a prep-assignment prior to the first coaching meeting. The online information guides the initial success coaching appointment conversation.  
II 
Dream & Future Vision
Students describe short and/or long-term goals related to their interests and their “Wiring.” Students discuss potential challenges that are identified and addressed to remove challenges that may hinder or sidetrack success.
III
Factual Self-Reflection and Self-Discovery

Students begin to make self-discoveries, focus on new possibilities and options, and focus on new ways of thinking as self-reflection matures with the deepening of self-awareness.  Interests, skills, gifts, talent,  and resourcefulness are recognized  creating a  space to begin the process of confident-intentional decision-making. The use of Ontological coaching models (OAR, BEL, and Historical Discourse) are the foundational approaches to illustrate thinking and decision-making patterns. Assessment tools MBTI, Holland Code, and True Colors may be utilized to illustrate thinking and decision-making patterns.
