What is life coaching?
Life coaching is a powerful, ongoing relationship that helps you focus and realize your visions and goals.
Coaching provides the tools and support you need to remove obstacles and facilitate change.
Anyone wanting to work towards a happier, healthier, more fulfilling and balanced life can benefit from
coaching.
What is a typical session like?
The hallmark of coaching is self responsibility. The client sets the agenda for the call, and I follow that
agenda. You can expect powerful and clarifying questions, focused and fine-tuned planning tools, and
accountability. As your coach, I’ll support you thoroughly and have high expectations of you. Sessions
are about 50 minutes.
What are some reasons people hire a coach?
• To plan your life based on what matters most to you
• To craft a career move or make your present job more fulfilling
• To get organized
• To get healthy, lose weight, or work with your body image
• To finish a project or plan an event
• To improve your relationships
How is coaching done?
Typically, individual coaching is done by telephone, for three to four sessions each month. To create
profound changes in your life, I recommend a minimum two-month commitment.
Is coaching therapy?
No, coaching is not therapy. You will find that coaching focuses on personal growth and strategic
planning and does not attempt to heal emotional trauma. In coaching, there is less focus on the past and
more attention to the present. Coaches regularly refer clients to other professionals for issues that are
better suited to a therapeutic relationship. Many clients benefit from working with both a therapist and a
coach.
How much does coaching cost?
My current fee is $65 per 50 minute session. I accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.
The coaching fee is an investment that pays big dividends. If you are concerned about the cost, here are
some things that you can do to maximize your investment:
•Hire the right coach. Find a coach whose specialties match your needs.
•During your first coaching session, set a 90-day goal that’s worth accomplishing. Make sure that 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 the results you want!
