Frequently Asked Questions

This is a hard question to answer, as it varies with each individual.  Typically clients work with a coach for minimum of 3 to 6 months.  Some clients decide to remain in the coaching relationship after their initial challenge has been resolved.  In our hectic lives it provides them the time and space on regular basis to “think aloud” and work out issues with an objective 3rd party.

Cost varies depending on the length and frequency of the sessions.  Once the fees are established, payments are made in advance the first of each month.

After the initial consultation we determine which of the plans is most appropriate for your needs.  You receive a welcome pack from me with information and some paperwork to complete and return.  You then meet with me regularly over the phone for 30-40 minute sessions.  I will be on hand for additional support if needed between sessions.

• GETTING STARTED – We begin with a 1½-hour initial intake session. We explore what has brought you to coaching identifying what you want to get out of it and setting goals that reflect what you want to achieve. We talk about logistics, make mutual commitments and get started.

• THE ONGOING PROCESS – Coaching usually takes place in 30-40 minute phone sessions once a week. My coaching approach is to create a partnership with you, one that is equal and focused on your goals and agenda – not mine. My job is to keep my eye on the big picture you have outlined while following what’s important in the moment, knowing that every thought, idea, question and discovery is in service of your goals.

• AS YOUR COACH I will support you in seeing new perspectives you may have not considered, offer guidance, provide resources and tools to help you plan your next steps and celebrate your success with you.

• ACCOUNTABILITY is one of the most important things I offer as a coach. When we are accountable we are more likely to achieve our goals.

Life coaching is for people that are truly ready to create a successful life for themselves.  A life coach is skilled in helping you make radical improvements in your life.  If things are pretty good, but you want them to be great… coaching is for you.
