Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is different for every client. In my practice, coaching is a 1-on-1 or group experience to help you identify obstacles in your path and overcome them. We will work together to clear those obstacles and move you closer to your goals. As your coach, I will partner with you to get you to a place where you can see your options, be strategic and make progress. My coaching helps you set professional and personal goals, design strategies to reach them and check-in on your success. Along the way, my coaching will help you to learn many of the practices, behaviors and strategies to succeed on your own.

1. Focus on yourself, the tough questions, the hard truths, and your success. 
2. Challenge existing attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors and develop new ones that serve your goals.
3. Leverage personal strengths and overcome limitations. 
4. Show compassion for yourself while learning new behaviors and experiencing setbacks.

No, coaching is not therapy or counseling. We will not look backwards or try to diagnose the past. Instead, coaching focuses on your future, is action-oriented, and is result-focused.

No, coaching is not consulting. Coaching focuses on what’s beneath your consciousness that you can’t see but dramatically affects your life and how you show up; hence, coaching is rooted in your “being.” Coaching results are based in breakthroughs which come from intentionally holding your fear’s hand and stepping into the unknown so you can develop your ability of being with uncertainty, and in doing that, develop your leadership, your self-confidence, your self-trust, and your fulfillment–and, ultimately, this dramatically affects your results. 

^^These are not the results of consulting. 

Consulting provides you with advice and arms you with information (e.g. “do this”  “don’t do that” “say it this way instead of that way”) and is rooted in your “doing.” 

This distinction matters because if who you’re “being” doesn’t align with the advice on what to do next, then it isn't going to create a real shift for you. 

I weave a little consulting into my coaching practice. You’ll learn processes and strategies for hard employee conversations to help you approach them with confidence. I share relationship tools and methods so you can improve your personal life and regain connection with your significant other. You’ll learn scheduling structures so you can stop over-working and start spending more time traveling.

Work like this requires commitment. You, the trailblazer, know this is true because you seek genuine commitment from others. This work is for those ready to make a real shift in how they show up, achieve ambitious goals, and are willing to make a commitment in line with it.

Group Coaching Programs: The commitments vary based on the program. Inquire for details. 

My private one-on-one coaching containers: Your commitment is a minimum of 6-months, and a financial commitment of $6,000 (payment plans available). 

Let's set up a call to learn what other factors you're considering when hiring a coach. 

We chat over the phone. While I can give you the option of meeting virtually (e.g. Zoom), I find people are more vulnerable, honest, and open without the distraction of a computer screen. 

I work with my trailblazers once-a-week on the first 3 weeks of the month. Generally, we have our 2 private calls on week 1 and week 2. The 2 group sessions comprised of private clients (these are optional to attend) are held on the second week of the month on Zoom. Our private calls last an hour. Group calls last 75 minutes. Given the nature of the trailblazing work that you’re doing, I provide additional support to my 1:1 clients outside of our scheduled sessions. 

Check out my Services page to see the time commitments for each coaching container. Beyond those time commitments, some clients choose to continue for ongoing foundational support.
