personal coaching Application

Welcome!

We’re delighted that you are considering Personal Coaching with Allison Bown, CPLC! To help you in your decision to apply, here’s an overview of how it works:

You determine the focus of your sessions and Allison will support you with catalytic questions that will help you gain understanding and create a path forward.

The last 10 minutes of each session is a time for summary and feedback from Allison, as well as deciding what you want to joyfully and intentionally practice before you meet again.

Your last session will summarize your discoveries and together, you will create a plan you can practice in the coming weeks and months. If you wish to return for another set of sessions, you can!

Personal Coaching with Allison is conducted in a block of four, 60 minute weekly sessions, one session per week, several times a year.

  • Starting mid January 2025, Allison has openings on Thursdays and Saturdays!

  • Please apply only if you anticipate being at every session. Sessions that you do not attend cannot be rescheduled. If for any reason Allison has to cancel a session, she will reschedule so that you receive all four sessions.

  • You will be asked to submit a short Preparation Form prior to each session, 24 hours in advance. This really helps you make the most of your time! If you are not able to complete the Preparation Form, the questions asked will be reviewed at the beginning of your session.

  • Grace Spaces Personal Coaching is gift based. Our members have asked for an estimate to help them choose their gift - so the conservative value for this coaching is $295. A gift at or near this value is appreciated, though cannot be required.

    100% of your gifts go to providing Grace Spaces books, materials and services to women in prisons, jail and transitional homes, as well as others that benefit from Grace Space services. Allison does not personally profit from your gift. The Grace Spaces Paypal account is separate from her personal finances.

    Gifts can be made on our “Give A Gift” tab under the “About” tab on our Grace Spaces website through PayPal. While we can’t require it, it is greatly appreciated if your gift is made a week prior to your first session so we can confirm your attendance.

  • If you have not previously been part of a Grace Spaces group coaching experience, you can still apply for Personal Coaching, understanding that it is Christian-focused. We’ll share an overview of Grace Spaces with you before your first session to give you a foundation for our approach to growth and transformation.

  • All Personal Coaching participants are asked to complete an International Coaching Federation (ICF) compliant Coaching Agreement prior to their first session. This must be returned before your first session because Allison cannot legally coach you without it.

    The Coaching Agreement is also attached to this email for your review. If you wish to sign and return it now so we have it on file, you can! If you have already completed this Agreement for previous coaching, there is a box on the application to indicate that.

LET’S GET STARTED!

If all that works for you, complete your application and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

All applications must be received one week prior to the first session so we have time to review and process them. Thanks!
