Coaching with Chris is…

…an exciting process of discovery that will help you view familiar ground – YOU – with new eyes. A gentle, raucous, fun, challenging and personally tailored journey to get from where you are to where you want to be – even when “where you want to be” is the big question; that is what transformational coaching is all about.

“Chris is real – not sugar coated. This is not about methodology or a set of techniques. It is the way he lives. His abilities come from a life lived a certain way.”

If you are here…

…reading this, you have probably lived some life, read the books, done the therapy, and had many ‘aha’ moments, yet somehow those insights did not translate into the life you want to live. So here you stand. You may know exactly what you want  or just know you want more. It doesn’t matter, for you are where you are, and that is the perfect place to start. You can count on Chris to structure a one-on-one relationship to take best advantage of your unique strengths at your pace.

“Life coaching with Chris is a powerful, positive experience that I would highly recommend… Don’t let his gentle style fool you; he won’t let you get away with the same old excuses. What I have attained from working with Chris has definitely exceeded my expectations.” ~ Cheryl R., Old Orchard Beach, ME

How (and how often) do we meet?

At a distance? Meet by phone or, even better, via Skype, using your webcam. If you live near Chris in Portland, Maine, Cafe Coaching is available. (Yes, its just what it sounds like, face to face coaching in one of his favorite coffee shop/cafes!) While the norm is four one-hour sessions/month, Chris is happy to discuss other arrangements with you. All coaching contracts include brief calls and emails between sessions, as needed.

“He somehow holds you accountable while giving you this sense that it is up to you and you CAN do it.”

What is the cost?

While your unique circumstances may call for a different pace or structure, below are three of the most common coaching packages. You will notice that the longer the commitment and/or payment period, the lower the cost. You may pay via check, credit card or PayPal. Sliding scale arrangements are available on a limited basis and there is never a charge for the initial consultation. Just email or call Chris at (207) 767 2024.

Coaching Packages

• Life Changes (1 year):  Coaching with Chris is a powerful, life-changing process. While the vast majority of coaching clients enthusiastically choose to stay engaged for at least one year, few anticipate this at the outset. By committing to this time frame up front, you can save up to $1360. 
  Cost: $400/month or one payment of $4400 (saves $400).
• Transformations (6 months):  A great investment in yourself.
  Cost: $440/month or one payment of $2400 (saves $240).
• Solid Start (3 months): When you want to move in forward in smaller steps.
  Cost: $480/month or one payment of $1300 ($140).

“Chris carries a rich toolbox that he chooses freely from and that really works for me. He is eclectic and uses his many resources – research, examples, stories, metaphor – to help me understand.”

What are common outcomes?

While each person is completely unique, here are some common outcomes identified by Chris’ coaching clients:

• I feel a sense of joy and confidence in my life that I have never known – or long ago forgot.
• I now know what I want and am moving toward it in the most real and tangible ways.
• I am pursuing a new direction in my life with joy and confidence.
• My relationship with my partner has never been better!
• I am happier, more at peace.
• When I get out of alignment with myself, I know how to get back to that place of knowing.
• I’ve let go of the “how” that always stops me in my tracks and now focus on being clear on the “what” and why.

“He is so unique. If only we all had a Chris Trout to help us on our path. It’s like having an angel on your shoulder whispering in your ear.”

This is a big decision…

Can I talk to someone who has already coached with Chris? You bet. There are a number of past or current clients who have agreed to be contacted by you. Just let Chris know and he will send an introductory email to the two of you, then get out pof the way so you can talk shop.

“It is like an infusion of hope. I’m no longer worried about how I’m going to get somewhere, I’m just doing what I need to do today. If I am strong today, it will unfold.”

Begin your journey today.

The best way to start is to email or call Chris at 207 767 2024. There is never a fee for an exploratory conversation to chat about your unique situation.

“Chris never gets out a specific tool to ‘fix the broken thing.’ He is positive and makes you want to do the work.”

A message from Chris

We’ve all had the unpleasant experience of being “sold to” when seeking information and help.  Rest assured, I delight in helping others find their right path, even when it leads other places. So, expect an easy conversation where you can be honest about your needs. We are all in this together and I will help you identify the solution that is perfect for you.

“He’s supportive from where you are and hands it right back to you. There’s no manipulation. You don’t feel coaxed toward his goals. He helps you trust the process and trust that you are right where you need to be.”
