Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about the coaching process, methodology, and what to expect from our partnership.

How does the coaching process work?

My coaching process begins with a complimentary discovery call to understand your goals and challenges. If we decide to work together, we'll start with an in-depth assessment, followed by strategy development, implementation, and integration phases. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes and are conducted via video conference or in person when possible. Between sessions, you'll have specific action items to work on, with email support available as needed.

What's your coaching methodology?

My coaching methodology combines evidence-based psychological principles with practical business strategies. I draw from cognitive-behavioral techniques, positive psychology, leadership development frameworks, and my own experience as an entrepreneur. This integrated approach ensures we address both the practical aspects of your goals and the mindset shifts needed for lasting change. Each program is customized to your specific needs, learning style, and objectives.

How is coaching different from therapy?

While therapy typically focuses on healing past wounds and addressing psychological challenges, coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented. As a coach, I help you clarify your goals, develop strategies to achieve them, and hold you accountable to your commitments. Coaching assumes you're starting from a place of basic wellness and focuses on optimization rather than treatment. If I believe therapy would be more beneficial for your situation, I'll provide appropriate referrals.

What results can I expect from coaching?

Clients typically report increased clarity about their goals and values, improved decision-making abilities, enhanced leadership skills, better work-life balance, and concrete progress toward their objectives. Many experience career advancement, business growth, improved relationships, and greater overall satisfaction. The specific results depend on your goals, commitment to the process, and willingness to implement new strategies. Most clients begin seeing meaningful changes within the first month of coaching.

How much does coaching cost?

Coaching programs start at $150 per hour, with package options available for longer-term engagements. Most clients work with me for 3-6 months, with sessions every 1-2 weeks. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for non-profit leaders and entrepreneurs in the early stages of their business. Payment plans are available, and many clients are able to secure partial or full reimbursement from their employers as professional development.

How do I know if we're a good fit?

The coaching relationship is built on trust, rapport, and mutual respect. The best way to determine if we're a good fit is to schedule a complimentary discovery call. During this conversation, we'll discuss your goals, my approach, and whether my expertise aligns with your needs. You'll get a sense of my coaching style, and I'll be honest about whether I believe I can help you achieve your objectives. There's no obligation, and if I'm not the right coach for you, I'm happy to provide referrals to colleagues who might be a better match.
