What is coaching?

Coaching is a process that assists people in making significant changes in their personal or professional life.

What benefits will coaching provide me?

It will support you, challenge you, hold you accountable, raise your awareness, act as your sounding board, and give direction to your energy.It will make you aware that you are always making a choice, and that through choice, you design your life.

How does it work?

After you choose me as your coach, I send you a package with a coaching agreement, some questions to answer about yourself and your coaching agenda and the initial coaching exercises for our first session. (Click here to take a look at my intake form)

The first session usually lasts about 2 hours and, if possible, is conducted in person either at my home, the client's home or at a coffee shop. Coaching then usually continues over the telephone, and a standard format is every 2 weeks for an hour, until the first 10 hours of coaching is complete.

I usually contract for 10 hours and ask for 50% at the beginning of the relationship and 50% on completion of the first 10 hours of coaching. For ongoing coaching, I bill for 5 hours in advance.

How long would we work together?

We'll normally start with a 3 month time frame. Clients stay with me as long as they are getting value out of the coaching.

Can I work with you on a short-term project?

It makes a lot of sense to hire a coach to help you accomplish specific goals or projects. I also support just-in-time coaching. For example, you can have a conversation with me before and after a very important phone call.

What if I decide that coaching is not for me?

You can end the coaching at any time and get a full refund for any unused coaching sessions.

What can I expect to happen at a coaching session?

• You can expect to participate in various exercises and conversations focused on your values, purpose, vision, strengths and inner critic and what you wish to achieve or change.
• You will create goals and choose how you want to handle being accountable for your goals.
• You will receive input and guidance where appropriate by the sharing of theories about change, communication, relationships, etc.

Do you work on personal goals or business goals?

I work on whatever you as a client want to work on, but I strongly believe in a holistic approach that takes into account the interconnectedness of our lives.

What do you believe in as a coach?

• I believe that my clients are naturally creative, resourceful and whole and are the experts in their own life.
• I believe the coach does not have the answers; the coach has questions. The client has the answers.
• I believe that the client creates the coaching agenda.
• I believe that the coach and clients are equals.
• I believe in an appreciative, strengths-based approach to generating positive change.
• I believe in coaching from the heart.
