Booking a session is the easy part. Showing up with a clear question is harder. Here’s a small checklist I find useful before any first conversation — coaching, Akashic, or otherwise.
1. What’s the question?
Not the area. The question. I want to figure out my career is an area. Should I leave my current role this quarter? is a question. Specificity is a kindness — to me, but mostly to your future self listening back to whatever you decide.
2. What have you already tried?
Five-minute mental inventory. What advice have you taken? What worked? What stopped working? You don’t need to write it down for me, but having it loosely in your head saves us thirty minutes.
3. What would “useful” look like?
When the session ends, what do you want to be true that wasn’t before? A decision made? A pattern named? A practice to try? Knowing this shapes how I work with you.
4. What are you not willing to look at yet?
Worth knowing — not so we avoid it, but so we don’t accidentally kick a door you’ve deliberately closed. Some doors aren’t meant for today.
5. Who else does this decision affect?
Naming this changes which conversation we have. The right call for you alone may not be the right call for you-and-three-other-people.
6. Are you in a hurry?
If yes — that’s fine, we’ll work with it. But it’s good to know going in. Hurry has its own gravity. It tilts what feels true.
If you’ve read through these and most of them feel hard to answer, that’s a perfectly good reason to book a Free Intro instead of jumping into a full session. Twenty minutes is enough to figure out which question is yours.
