Frequently Asked Questions

If you are new to career coaching or business coaching, take a read through our FAQ

What is professional coaching?

Coaching is an iterative, targeted, interactive process designed to facilitate concrete changes in performance—and bottom-line results. At CoreTactic we help clients achieve their goals through powerful conversations that are intended to inspire new thinking, perceptions and behavior that actualize your potential, improve your performance, create focus and directional clarity, support the achievement of your personal and professional goals, and enhance the quality of your life.

FAQ image

What is the objective of a coaching engagement?

The objective is to focus on your potential (your unrealized ability, capacity or possibility) by leveraging your strengths, uncovering what’s in your way, and targeting the areas you are most interested in addressing to help you reach your goals more effectively.

FAQ image

Can I change through coaching?

Yes, you can. We’ve seen many clients change in powerful ways. And they’ve likely had ambitions, goals, concerns and challenges that are similar to yours. Coaching can be the catalyst to profoundly shift the trajectory of your life, enabling you to change the quality of your life and the direction of your career in ways you never dreamed of.

FAQ image

What about confidentiality? Will my information be safe?

YES, what happens in our sessions stays in our sessions.

We fully understand the value of your trust, and we take every precaution to safeguard it. We will provide you with a detailed description of the ethical code that governs every client-coach relationship we enter. This document not only places our standards before you in plain text, but also codifies our commitment to you, the client, and your progress.

FAQ image

How often would I meet with my coach?

We meet with clients once a week. Through many years of experience and testing of different time frames, we’ve found that this frequency yields the greatest returns in terms of change. Meeting once a week offers time for reflection and application of learning between sessions, while maintaining the momentum of our work together.

FAQ image

How do I meet with my coach?

CoreTactic provides virtual online coaching throughout the US and into Canada. We are also located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and can meet face to face if desired.

FAQ image

How long does the coaching process take?

The time frame can vary greatly and depends on a wide range of factors: your goal(s), your commitment and openness to change, your capacity for introspection, your circumstances, how quickly and thoughtfully you complete homework assignments, and other unique factors.

We have individuals who come in for a very brief engagement (e.g., one mock interview coaching session). We have others who come in focused on one goal, achieve that goal, and begin work on another goal and then another. Those individuals who partner with us in multiple capacities and for multiple goals work with us for a year or more.

FAQ image

What if I want to end my coaching engagement?

You may choose to terminate work at any time, although it is helpful for your coach to have a week’s notice in order to prepare a final session that focuses on review and closure. Ultimately, that decision is up to you.

FAQ image

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

The differences between coaching and psychotherapy are:

  1. Coaches focus on the future. Therapists focus on the past.

  2. Coaches center their work around the belief that clients are healthy. Therapists utilize a framework that is based on pathology and illness.Coaches work with the conscious mind. Therapists work with the unconscious mind.

  3. Coaches’ work is often time-limited with specific desired behavioral outcomes. Therapists’ work is open-ended with “understanding” as the primary objective.

  4. Coaches work in person, as well as over the phone. Therapists usually work in person only.

    There are similarities between coaching and psychotherapy as well.

    They are:

    -Both are concerned with making concrete changes in your emotional state and life.

    -Both work to understand the self-limiting beliefs or behavior caused by thoughts and emotions that you may or may not be aware of.

    -Both practices help you grow, change and master your emotions.

Can you provide an example of a time you helped a client develop their leadership skills? What specific strategies or exercises did you use?

As a career coach with 25 years of experience at CoreTactic (https://coretactic.net) helping highly motivated professionals find fulfillment, I recently worked with a Director of Human Resources at an automotive company in Los Angeles who was struggling to read people and understand their underlying motivations.

Through our coaching sessions, we identified that confidence was the core issue affecting his leadership capabilities. We developed a strategy that included regular coaching calls where we would analyze specific workplace situations and break down interpersonal dynamics. Together, we brainstormed leadership approaches and professional solutions to scenarios he encountered. We also performed a SWOT analysis and write up a RACI model to highlight not on the strengths and weaknesses of his team, but also who was responsible, accountable, consulted and informed.

The key to our success was creating a structured plan focused on building his confidence through practical exercises and real-world application. As a result of our work together, he has transformed into a highly effective People Officer who can confidently navigate complex workplace relationships and lead his team more effectively. This case exemplifies how targeted leadership coaching, combined with patience and careful observation, can help professionals overcome their challenges and reach their full potential.

Cross-platform social media management comes with its challenges. What is one specific challenge you've overcome, and how did you address it successfully? Share the lessons learned from navigating this particular hurdle.

Based on my experience working with business clients at CoreTactic, (https://ghl.coretactic.net) struggling with fragmented social media management, one significant challenge I've addressed was helping clients overcome the complexity of managing multiple platforms while maintaining consistent messaging and data tracking. This challenge became particularly evident when working with a client who was juggling various point solutions for their social media operations, leading to scattered customer data and inconsistent engagement.

Through implementing HighLevel's all-in-one platform, we consolidated their social media management into a single, cohesive system. The key solution involved setting up automated workflows that ensured consistent messaging across channels while maintaining real-time analytics tracking. This integration eliminated data silos and reduced their team's manual workload by 15-20 hours per week.

The main lesson learned was that efficiency in cross-platform social media management isn't just about having multiple tools - it's about having the right integrated system that allows for unified data management and consistent customer engagement across all channels. This approach not only streamlined their operations but also led to a 30-40% increase in engagement rates within the first three months.
