Question 1

What are your fees?

Accepted Answer

Fees depend upon a number of factors and can be discussed following a discovery call if you would like to engage me as a coach.  Sessions typically are purchased in packages, which provides a discount over the single session rate.

Question 2

What is your coaching education?

Accepted Answer

I have a coaching certification from Lumia (formerly JRNI), an established coach training program that incorporates concepts such as appreciative inquiry and positive psychology. While the certification is important, it is my life experience that I think really helps me help my clients.  Most importantly, through my 27+ years in the corporate and legal worlds I have learned to listen, ask probing questions and help my clients.  My coaching education has helped me take all of that life experience and apply it to best help my clients.

Question 3

How long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Sessions typically last 1 hour.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

You will decide how many sessions you will need, based upon the work you would like to do together.  Typically not much can be done in fewer than 3 sessions.   I encourage you to commit to at least 3 sessions (or more) up front so that you can see how a coaching partnership can really help you achieve your goals.  Sessions can be weekly, monthly, or at any other interval that works for you.

Question 5

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Coaching helps you figure out where you want to be and works with you to get there.  Therapy typically is more about diagnosing an issue from the past and working to bring you to “baseline” (which also of course helps you with your future plans).  Therapy and coaching can happen at the same time.

Question 6

What is a typical coaching session like?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are through Zoom, and are casual and free-flowing.  Typically, you will decide at the beginning of a session what you would like to work on that day.  Sometimes it is something completely new.  Other times it is a continuation of prior sessions.

Question 7

Do you coach on any topic?

Accepted Answer

I am happy to discuss any topic that might be of interest to you. I will let you know if I do not feel I am the right coach for you.
