How is coaching done?

Typically, individual coaching is done by telephone, for three or four 1/2-hour sessions each month. We offer a wide variety of services for individuals and businesses of all sizes including on-site coaching of executives, managers, and work teams.

You can also take advantage of group coaching calls, which is a coaching relationship that will move you forward to the completion of a specific project. To create dramatic changes in your life, we ask for a three-month commitment.

Is coaching therapy?

No, coaching is not therapy. You will find that coaching focuses on strategic planning and personal growth and does not attempt to heal past hurts or emotional trauma. Coaches regularly refer clients to other professionals for issues that are better suited to a therapeutic relationship.

What is a typical session like?

The hallmark of coaching is self-responsibility. The client sets the agenda for the call and the coach follows that agenda. You can expect powerful and clarifying questions, focus, and fine-tuned planning tools, and accountability. Your coach has high expectations of you and supports you thoroughly.

What does it cost to hire a coach?

The charge for coaching ranges from $300 - $500 per month, depending on how often you work with your coach. Each client sets up their coaching program based on their needs. Payment is due on the first of each month. If it makes it any easier, you can pay by Visa or MasterCard.

Your coaching fee is an investment that pays big dividends. If you are cautious about spending money and concerned about making intelligent choices, here are three things you can do to maximize your investment:

• Hire the right coach. Find the coach whose specialties best match your needs.
• During your free consultation, set a 90-day goal that's worth accomplishing. Make sure the goal is something that's worth the coaching fee, something you'd be happy to pay for.
• Make the most of your coaching time. Tell your coach what results you want and your coach helps you make it happen.
