How Does the Big Day Coach Process Work?
Real coaching doesn't start with a programme. It starts with understanding who you are.
At Big Day Coach, every client journey is built from the ground up — shaped entirely by your thinking style, your values, your goals, and the specific challenges you're navigating right now. Here is what the process looks like, from first conversation to lasting results.
STEP ONE: Free 45min Compatibility Conversation
Before anything else, we get to know each other. This complimentary 45-minute session is a genuine conversation to explore whether we're a good fit, understand where you are right now, and discuss what you're hoping coaching will do for you.
In this session, we will cover:
-
what areas you’d like to work on or are curious about
-
what you’d ultimately like to achieve and over what timeframe
-
The tools and processes we use to work alongside you
-
When you’d like to begin
No pressure. Just an honest conversation
STEP TWO: Understanding How You Think- The Foundation of Your Coaching programme
Every Big Day Coach programme begins with two powerful diagnostic tools that together build the foundation for your entire coaching journey.
The Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool
The Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool is a unique, evidence-based personality and thinking style assessment - and one of the most comprehensive profiling tools available to professional coaches in New Zealand. It is based on the most rigorously researched personality frameworks ever produced, including the Big Five Personality Model, the Critical Alignment Model, and E-DISC. It provides a robust measurable framework for understanding human behaviour and performance.
As a Certified Meta Dynamics™ Profiler, Nina uses this tool to map your thinking style across four archetypes - measuring 41 primary characteristics relevant to personal, professional, and leadership development. This comprehensive questionnaire and a full report unpack are included within your coaching programme.
Values Elicitation
Alongside the profiling tool, we conduct an in-depth Values Elicitation session to identify your core values and beliefs, and to understand how they shape - and sometimes quietly undermine - your decisions, relationships, and goals.
Together, these two foundations give us a clear, objective, deeply personal map of who you are and how you operate. From there, we design your coaching programme alongside you so it aligns with your timeline for growth.
STEP THREE: Your Personalised Coaching Programme
Once your foundation work is complete, we build your bespoke coaching plan — drawing on a wide range of coaching tools, methodologies, and frameworks tailored specifically to your results.

STEP FOUR: Evaluation and Progress Tracking
Growth isn't linear and neither is coaching. After each session, we take stock of where you are, what's shifted, and what needs focus next. This keeps your coaching targeted, honest, and genuinely responsive to where you are right now.
STEP FIVE: Ongoing Coaching and Support
The coaching relationship doesn't have to end when a programme block concludes. For clients who want continued momentum, Big Day Coach offers laser coaching for focused, short-burst support on specific challenges, and retainer arrangements for ongoing personal, business, or leadership development.
