Start a Conversation

The first conversation begins with your why.

Not the professional narrative. Not the presenting issue. The genuine reason you're here what you're navigating, what you're hoping for, and how far you're ready to go.

What the First Conversation Is

An exploration, not an assessment.

The first conversation is approximately 45 minutes an honest exploration of what has brought you here, what you're most wanting to understand or change, and whether this practice is the right fit for that work.

Denis will share an overview of the approach, the diagnostic process, and what working together looks like. But the primary task of the first conversation is to understand your why before either of you decides what comes next.

No agenda. No pitch. No commitment required on either side. The right engagement if there is one emerges from the right conversation.

What Denis Will Ask

The questions worth sitting with before you arrive.

  1. 01

    What has brought you here and what is underneath that?

  2. 02

    What would be genuinely different if the coaching gave you everything you hoped for?

  3. 03

    How deep are you ready to go and what does that mean to you?

  4. 04

    What have you tried before, and what did it give you?

You don't need to have clear answers to any of these. The conversation will find them. But sitting with the questions before you arrive tends to make the first conversation richer.
