Committing to Change

Abstract

Committing to change is the “C” phase of the VECTOR virtual coaching process, and it focuses on collaborative goal setting. The authors share anecdotes of other virtual coaching goal-setting sessions and tips for setting goals based on the experiences of other virtual coaches. They also offer a goal-setting acronym—DREAMS—to help readers understand the components of a good goal and a goal-setting template that they have found works well for ensuring virtual coachees are able to make meaningful progress toward goal completion.
