FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The fees depend on the coaching program we decide best suits your developmental and financial needs but below is a general guideline: Coaching is offered at the rate of $250 to $350 a month depending on the program you choose. Each coaching session lasts 60 to 90 minutes depending on the phase of our work together. Short supplemental telephone conversations and between session email support are provided at no additional cost. My 100% guarantee: If you show up and engage in the coaching process as we agree and you feel that you do not receive coaching that inspires you or helps you in any individual meeting - you pay nothing for that meeting.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The Process It starts with a quick free phone call or by filling out an online form. I get to know where youre at in life and where you want to be. If it looks like were a good fit and that I can help you, well schedule a one-on-one session to dive deeper and explore what kind of coaching program would suit your needs and your budget. How many coaching sessions are needed? We typically schedule between two and four coaching sessions each month. Because the pace of progress and change is unique for each person, I ask that the client commit to working together for a specified period, usually a minimum of 6 months and often up to a year but shorter periods together is also possible.
