What’s
it like working with you?
An ongoing process in our work together will be to
create a truly collaborative alliance, geared toward achieving
your goals. This will be unlike any other professional relationship
you’ve ever had.
We,
together, get to create a space of trust where it is safe for
you to explore the depths of who you are at your core, what
lights you up, and the place to which your aliveness and intuition
are gently nudging you.
In this space you are empowered to be
in charge of your process and set the agenda, and my role is
to gently guide you and ask the questions that will bring about
those “A-HA!” moments, and lead to powerful action.
Together, we generate and keep alive a commitment to YOU and
to your growth.
Much of coaching
actually happens between our calls. Our conversations
will leave you inspired and challenged, often calling you to
take actions you would not have taken on your own. You will
also begin to notice serendipity showing up in your life.
Is
this really effective over the phone?
Absolutely! In fact, I have found that working in person there
can be too many visual distractions. On the phone the work is
more focused and intimate, allowing you to really get into the
conversation in a deeper way.
Is
it necessary to be in the Boston or Pittsburgh area to have
you as my coach?
Nope!
Coaching is done over the phone, so you can live anywhere and
still work with me. I work with clients from all over the world.
Is
coaching like therapy or counseling?
The simple answer is "not really".
While outwardly seeming similar, coaching focuses more on the
NOW and the FUTURE, creativing a vision, setting concrete goals,
and overcoming obstacles that come up along the way. We don't
delve much into the realm of the past, nor at all into pathology.
I
come to coaching with the assumption that my clients are creative,
resourceful, and whole - that there's NOTHING WRONG, just things
to work on, help focus, and improve.
Coaching is geared toward individuals
who are healthy and generally successful in their lives, and
helps take them to the next level in the quality and fulfillment
of their life. Therapy, as I see it, is geared more toward overcoming
troubles or illnesses. Both have a place, and I will refer my
clients to a qualified therapist should that need become apparent.
Why
a 3-month commitment?
Experts
tell us that it takes about three months to create or break
a habit. This is also how long it generally takes for people
to start seeing significant changes taking place in their lives.
Committing to a 3-month coaching agreement will set you up to
succeed at your desired goals. After that, we can continue on
a month-to-month basis. Clients will typically hire a coach
for a period of between 3 and 9 months, though engagements of
a year or more aren't uncommon.
Can
I try it out first?
Of course! I offer a free sample session to give you a chance
to experience coaching first-hand. Just drop me a line and we'll
set it up.
How
much does coaching cost?
The
industry average rates for personal life coaching runs between
$250 and $500 per month. My fee is $295
per month.
What
do you do with my email address once I sign up for your newsletter?

you choose to subscribe to my newsletter. My goal is to provide
you with insights and inspiration. You can rest assured that
I will NEVER share, sell, or in any way disclose your private
information.
