Discovery Session

The coaching partnership begins with Gustavo and you getting to know one another and to sow seeds of rapport and trust. Gustavo will get to know your life trajectory to the present. It’ll be Gustavo's opportunity to begin to understand your values, the challenges, successes, self-limitations, beliefs and concerns that define you.  

​

Our Roles

You and Gustavo will design an alliance (agreements, i.e., logistics, video, in-person, or over the phone, etc.). The partnership is for you, about you, and based on what works for you.  

​

Your goal is to be clear or as clear as you can be about the results you want out of the coaching partnership. 

​

Gustavo's goal is to partner with you as you rediscover your innate and untapped creativity, resourcefulness and sense of self to achieve your results. Gustavo will challenge you to face any unproductive perspectives and traits that may be limiting you.  

​

It will be important for Gustavo to understand your comfort with being challenged. So it’ll be important that throughout our partnership you are candid, clear, and advocate for what works for you.         

​
