Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Here's the thing; I want to work with you, I really do... however... this site's fee structure means that I pay when you select me as a "fit"... NOT when you hire me. So all I'm asking is this - please be looking to have a real engagement before we connect. Thanks much. You have ideas that you'd like to express in ways that excite and engage; you're sometimes frustrated because you ALMOST said it exactly the way you wanted to; you feel that your writing lacks clarity or style; you simply need another set of eyes to review and polish what you've produced. I can help. I've loved language all my life. It's been an asset in both personal and professional settings. Let me put those skills to work for you. As a Coach I believe in integration - We are whole beings, so "work life" or "personal life" are just facets of the life we inhabit. One of the challenges we often face is in figuring out how to honor ALL that we are. I'm certified, experienced, empathetic and... human. I will challenge you and support you as you discover, achieve and exceed goals while finding the beauty and joy in your space every day. Certified and experienced, I have a track record of success in working with individuals and companies on personal, professional and corporate issues. I'm a Master Certified Coach (ICF certified since 2008) and have over 30 years of professional and business experience. I am deeply passionate about developing people. I am able to combine my unique blend of life and business experience to work with individuals, companies, non-profits and schools. I am committed to your development and success, and look to help as you realize the life of your dreams; one with balance, meaningful work, strong relationships, vibrant health, and time to play.

Clients like Brenton make it easy to do excellent work; great communication, a sense of humor and a willingness to be open about where I might have missed something are very helpful.

I was very lucky to have found Iain Sandy when I did. He has helped me to navigate through some very dramatic changes in my professional and personal life and given me perspective in even the most challenging situations. He always provides timely, accurate, and empathetic guidance and is patient in his explanations. Through the challenges of changing professions and the pandemic, he listened and truly understood what was needed for my next steps and success. I cannot say enough about what his coaching and support have meant to me. I look forward to working together to see where I will go from here.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Documents under 2000 words or requiring a light edit I bill a flat fee that starts at $175. Under 5,000 words bills out at $.05 per word. Up to 20,000 words - $.04 per word. Over 20,000 words - $.03 per word. Of course, these are guidelines so be ready to discuss. :)

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I want to talk with you, get a sense of the scope and intent, have you get a sense of who I am, how I plan approaching the subject, have you decide if we're a good fit. I want to read a sample, maybe give you a quick, no cost edit if feasible so you get a feel for what my output and suggestions would be. And then... let's kick it!
