Options in developing the CD in-flight program

Coaching the CD in-flight program
Although the Courage To Fly CD program is designed and structured so that one can use it on their own, the patterns of fearful thinking can be difficult to overcome. Sometimes it is difficult to break through the initial procrastination or fear of beginning. There are times when it feels supportive to have an outside voice to help with the organizing and developing new ways of thinking. Through a few coaching sessions I will help you maintain your motivation and give you support and encouragement with your goals to gain courage and overcome your fear. Your initial 30 minute coaching session is free with your purchase of the CD program.

Independent development
If you choose to develop your CD in-flight program independently, you will find the structured outline inside the CD jacket. You use the suggested areas to contemplate over and then you fill out the information that is important for you. This is a process, and I recommend that you play the CD repeatedly so that the information and exercises become familiar and easily come to your mind. You are also welcome to visit me through my e-mail with questions.

Second chance and combining strategies
There are times that people have started out on their own to develop their program and then find that in addition they would like more personal one to one assistance. You are welcome to contact me. We will then set up a schedule for coaching sessions. The number of sessions varies. But frequently just a few coaching sessions are needed to reinforce the process developed in the CD program.

Private coaching sessions
As your courage coach, I am catalyst and motivational partner in the process of any or all of the following:

• Identifying your initial goals to face your fear of flying
• Defining your commitment statement
• Identifying specific trigger words (see articles pages)
• Developing fear management techniques
• How to create your personalized support system
• Practice for using the CD Courage To Fly during your flights
• Strengthen your independence level
• Sustain your motivation and progress to implement your goals
• Creating a system of inner balance you can use in all areas of your life
• Build your confidence for using your new skills in all areas of life
  

“Also, in addition to the CD, I took advantage of another of Robin’s options at Courage to Fly personal one-on-one conversations! Boy was that great! I can't begin to express just how wonderful and beneficial that option is for anyone who needs to voice their fears with a real person! To actually hear someone respond to my worries and concerns was so beneficial, more than anyone can imagine. What the CD and personnel conversations did for me was to help me to change my way of thinking, before, during, and after a flight”.  DI

Coaching beyond Courage To Fly to develop Courage to Try Your Own WINGS

"Suddenly a mist fell from my eyes and I knew the way I had to take".
Edvard Grieg, composer

Frequently those who have gone on to conquer their fear of flying see new and exciting possibilities for creating other options to open up their lives. Through our coaching sessions I can continue to encourage and support your new goals. I see this as supporting your new courage to try your own wings.

Just as I use the metaphor “Courage To Fly” as the perfect for facing fear and piloting your own life, because challenging fear always requires developing confidence and courage to step outside one’s comfort zone. Courage to Try Your Own Wings is a metaphor for the next step which is to actively plan and create new areas of your life. Our coaching sessions will continue to focus on supporting your self confidence, imagination and personal strengths.

• fear can sneak in and sap the energy you need for taking the important new steps to realize your exciting goals.
• when the energy of a jet engine is used in reverse it acts as the airplane’s brake.
• you can use your energy to go forward and do what you really want to do, or like in a jet engine your energy can act as a brake and distraction to prevent you from feeling secure and ready to try.
• this is when making the commitment to try your own wings is crucial.

Whether you are unsure of what goal you want to tackle first or you have one of the following goals as an example:

• Retiring
• Looking for a new job
• Asking for that promotion
• Starting your own business
• Developing new or better relationship dynamics
• Starting a new education
• Starting a new career
• Developing a musical, artistic or other talents
• Trying new life adventures just for fun
  

I look forward to hearing from you. Coaching is a personal relationship and built upon trust and collaboration. If you are new to my coaching program, you can explore the coaching information further on this site, or you are most welcome to contact me personally for more information. We can start with a complimentary 30 minute session to decide if we will continue together towards coaching your personal goals. Be sure to check into setting up a complimentary 30 minute session to investigate how this can work out best for you.
