What Kind of Information Can I Expect to Get From the ProScan® and Meri's Coaching?
The Lowdown |
Managing our human assets is not unlike managing any asset portfolio. In much the same way that financial managers compile baseline valuations that assess strengths and weaknesses, Between the Lines SuccessMetrics℠ Coaching starts by giving you critical baseline data about your natural strengths and stressors and then coaches you in how to use this data to rebuild your health and well-being. |
What is Proscan®? |
The ProScan® survey has been statistically validated and field normed on over 3 million working adults so you can trust its expertise. With your ProScan® results in hand, you will be in a much better position to make choices that make the most of your unique assets, improve your health, and enhance your everyday experience of joy - right away. |
What You'll Receive |
You will receive:
|
Part 1 of Your Coaching with Meri |
Your ProScan® reports will provide graphical pictures and clear verbal descriptions of how you operate most effectively. It's a wealth of information delivered in a concise, straightforward manner. Think of this data as the WHAT in "What's up?" It's quite a bit to read, but most people find the reading fascinating. After all, it's about you - your unique natural strengths and current stressors! |
|
Part 2 of Your Coaching with Meri |
The second part of your Between the Lines SuccessMetrics℠ Coaching process, your Readback and Motivation Conferences, gives you the HOW. During your Readback Conference you will gain an indepth understanding your relationship to 5 basic human traits and 11 features of dynamic behavior:

Expect to Learn |
Expect your Readback and Motivation Conferences with Meri to be vital, personal conversations focused on how you can use your ProScan® data to more effectively address health and wellness challenges you're facing because of your chronic health conditions. Expect to learn how
You will have in hand the facts about your strengths, the ways you may be holding yourself back (because you are accommodating stressors), and a clear understanding of how your efforts to "show up" in the world are either supporting your long-term health and happiness - or sabotaging it. And much, much more... |
How Long Will the Assessment and Coaching Process Take?
|
After you have registered as a client and downloaded your preparation packet, the assessment and coaching process will take 3 to 6 sessions, depending on which Basic Package you purchase. |
|
The 8-Minute Survey |
It will take you eight minutes (or less) to take your ProScan® survey online. You will receive your reports within 48 hours. You can expect to receive a LOT of data about yourself. Some of it may surprise you a lot. Most people describe the receipt and initial reading of their ProScan® data reports as a VERY POWERFUL experience. |
Your 3-Session or 6-Session Basic Package |
Many people find that they receive all the data and support they need from the Basic 3-Session Kickstart Coaching Package. Others want more support, so they contract for the full 6-Session Startup Package. You may also contract for additional support, getting one of our Follow-Up Packages: Platinum, Gold or Silver. Only clients who have completed either the Kickstart or Startup Packages are eligible to purchase a Follow Up Package. |
Kicking the Bird Out of the Nest |
Between the Lines SuccessMetrics℠ Coaching Programs are not meant to tie you to Meri so you have to keep coming back to talk with her week after week. Our Basic Packages are designed to strengthen your appreciation of your natural strengths and empower you with solid data that you can begin using right away to improve your health and well-being ... and keep using on your own for many years to come. If you want extended support, we are happy to support you through one of our Follow Up Packages. But we aren't selling "dependency" in any way, shape or form. Our success depends on you acquiring new levels of awareness and strengthening your commitment to use this awareness to boost your daily problem-solving and self-management. We love our clients - but we don't need you to need us! |
How Does the Between the Lines SuccessMetrics℠ Coaching Process Work?
|
Over the last two decades, Meri has evolved a simple way of working with people that helps you stop tolerating situations and habits that don't work and focus instead on caring for yourself in sustainable ways, using your unique natural strengths. |

Where will we meet? |
The beauty of this kind of work is that we don't need to be face-to-face to do it. If you are able to meet with Meri locally (in southern Oregon), she will meet with you face-to-face. If you're not local, you will meet by phone, online in a private virtual meeting room, or use internet chat. Meri will send you all the information you need for your coaching conferences in plenty of time for you to make easy preparations. You can and will be encouraged to select the communications channel(s) that best fit your personal learning and lifestyles. If you've never received coaching in a private virtual meeting room, you're in for a treat! Many people actually enjoy receiving coaching this way more than they do in person because it's so easy to concentrate on the facts. Meri has been a pioneer in remote coaching, including web conferencing, so she's highly experienced at using technology to make deep connections with clients, even at a distance. |
What Kind of Guarantee Do You Offer?
|
We guarantee you will gain access to a deeper sense of ease, personal power,and responsibility as well as greater trust, respect, safety, appreciation and personal effectiveness. You will have what you need to establish a firm grounding in your authentic motivators and strengths and a new, positive approach to appreciating and benefiting from your unique preferences and needs. |

No one except you and Meri will ever have access to your ProScan® data. Your survey will be processed through our SECURE server and your data emailed directly to you at the email address you provide. Both your Readback Conference and your Motivation Conversation will take place in a secure virtual meeting room to which no one but you and Meri will have access - unless you decide to invite your manager, your spouse or another family member to attend and listen in. If you do decide you would like to invite others to listen in on your conferences, you and Meri will be the only people authorized to issue invitations for others to attend your conferences. |
