Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact me. I look forward to showing you how coaching can change the face of your business and inspire and accelerate growth and success.

Coaching services are billed in advance of each monthly cycle. Refunds are provided for unused sessions provided that all client-partner agreements are met. Accepted method of payment is by check or cash.

The coaching relationship is about your development. You are here because you are committed to developing yourself. This is not always an easy task, but truly a highly rewarding one. You will be asked tough questions about yourself, your goals and your intent. You will be asked to demonstrate your commitment by taking action that will move you towards your goals. You are expected to be available at designated call times or to advise otherwise with a minimum of 48 hours notice. You are expected to pay your invoices as specified. This process is about you and you are worth the effort. Keep in mind, the coaching process is about you. If at any time you believe that your needs are not being met I will make every effort to refer you to another coach that may be better suited for you.

My role is to facilitate your development, without prejudice or judgment. I commit to you that I will be honest in my language and sincere in my listening. I will be available for you at the designated call times. Your success is my success. Through my commitment to you I am also committed to myself.

Establishing a trusting relationship is essential in the coaching process. It is quite possible that you or I will not be satisfied with the outcome and it is quite appropriate in such a case that either one of us may elect to dissolve the relationship. Remember, your success is my success. Through my commitment to you I am also committed to myself.

There are no time constraints. Some clients seek to work on a particular event (e.g., grooming for a promotion) while others have long term interests (e.g., starting and growing a small business). Coaching is tailored to suit your needs and goals. The process can be extended or terminated at any time.

Typically we have 2-4 scheduled one hour calls per month. Supplemental contact via e-mail and short, unscheduled calls are also included. In-person coaching is available if desired; additional charges may apply. Since the coaching process is unique for everyone I work with each client-partner to create a program that meets their needs.

I seek those who are committed to their development and who want to be coached to achieve these goals. Since coaching is dependent upon a trusting relationship it is critical that you and I are confident in our ability to honestly appraise your development and my efforts. Coaching can be done in groups or individually. I have a preference for working with small to mid-size business clients in the health and technology sectors as well as private and partnered medical professionals.

Emphatically no! I am not a licensed therapist nor do I profess to be. Coaching uses the present as the basis for the future, whereas therapy analyzes the past as a source of present and future development.

Are there goals you’ve been unable to achieve, obstacles that you’re unable to navigate or paths that you’ve always wanted to explore but could not, would not or will not? A coach will not give you the answers, that’s your job. A coach will help you to develop clarity and to illuminate your goals. A coach is a partner who reminds you that you have not yet met the goals that you want to and are quite able to achieve and thus inspires you to look inward to find and to employ the necessary steps. For example:

• Grooming for a promotion, presentation or particularly challenging task
• Business team development
• Integration of business and personal goals
• Improving communications amongst team members
• Setting goals and defining strategies to reach them
