What is coaching?

Coaching is a partnership between a coach and client (lets say “you”) whose main purpose is your success and well-being. A coach’s role is to bring out your best and to provide ongoing support for your personal and professional development and achievement.

Coaching often involves gaining insight into what is most important to you in terms of lifestyle, values and goals to develop a personalized plan of action to make your aspirations and dreams a reality.

What are the benefits of coaching?

Coaching can bring numerous positive changes in a person’s life. Here are some examples:

• Improve business performance
• Balance work and personal life
• Attain greater self-awareness
• Accelerate goal achievement
• Maintain a long-term perspective
• Take time to pause and see your life from a wider perspective
• Translate dreams and ideas into achievable goals

How long does it last?

The duration of coaching depends upon individual needs and/or requirements. A coach can be hired for a specific project or for an unlimited period of time. Generally, we recommend a three month commitment to establish a relationship and to gauge progress over a period of time.

How does it work?

You come ready and willing to create the life that you want. We meet by phone to discuss the goals and desires you want to realize in your life. You are then matched up with a coach to determine your unique coaching needs, discuss scheduling how the coaching will work. From there we get you set up and the coaching begins.

Typically, a coaching session lasts for 30-60 minutes, during which you will develop an action plan that you will carry out. The coaching will focus on areas of your choosing: career, business, relationships, health, finances, home, etc.

How much does it cost?

Coaching fees are most often billed on a monthly basis but can also be arranged on a special project basis. The monthly coaching fee is a “retainer” fee, not an hourly fee. This means that the coach is available to the client between sessions, if need be, for brief communication. The coaching fees range in price depending upon how much coaching time is involved and whether the client is paying individually or is part of an organization that has contracted for the coaching. Generally, the monthly coaching fee for an individual ranges in price from $270-775 per month. The coaching fees for a business or organization are higher and are either an established rate set by the organization or are based upon specific project requirements.

Coaching is also available on a special project basis for situations that require unique attention that is not served effectively by the monthly format. Special project fees are based on a hourly fee and are designed to meet the client’s particular requirements.
