The length of Business Partners Counseling depends on the seriousness of the issues and what the partners want to accomplish.
A typical Business Partners Counseling engagement includes the initial individual sessions, followed by approximately 5 to 12 joint sessions focused on Phases 1: Stabilize and 2: Revitalize. During these phases, partners work on calming the immediate conflict, rebuilding communication, clarifying roles and agreements, and making better decisions together.
For the best long-term results, many partnerships continue into Phase 3: Thrive. In this phase, sessions usually become less frequent but continue over a longer period. The purpose is to support lasting change, strengthen accountability, and help partners follow through on the agreements they made during counseling.
