MY PHILOSOPHY ABOUT OFFERING MY SERVICES
I believe that people will begin coaching whenever it is that they're ready to do so, and not a minute before. This is as it should be, for no one will receive any benefit from the coaching relationship until they make the commitment to learn about and understand their issues, have the willingness to be truthful with themselves, and take the action steps required to make appropriate changes to move their life forward in a beneficial way. That being said, I would very much welcome the opportunity to coach you when the time is right.
I offer a number of options for clients to enter this wonderful world of coaching and begin to take control of their destiny. Take a look below and then contact me for a chat - my bet is that it could change your life.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING SERVICES
Individual coaching is a one-to-one relationship where the client and coach get together, either by telephone (regardless of where you are in the world) or in person, on a consistent schedule for their coaching sessions. The typical schedule is three sessions per month, for either 45 or 60 minutes each, with on-going e-mail support in between sessions, and occasional short calls when needed. The benefit of individual coaching is clear - you receive the undivided attention of the coach on your specific situation, without interruption or the need to deal with the issues of others in a group. There is an intimacy in individual coaching that is not replicated in a group setting, allowing you free rein to speak, unhindered, about anything you choose, knowing that it will be kept in the strictest confidence.
Clients often choose to commit to three months at the beginning, as they recognize that they didn't get to where they are overnight and may need some time to work through their issues. However, having said this, know that just as I deal with the substantive issues of each client on a case-by-case basis, so do I create a schedule with each client specifically suitable to their needs. My clients know that they're on a month-to-month schedule with me, with no time contracts to sign or any other sort of commitment, other than their own personal commitment to coaching.
After we've completed our complimentary session, which is a pre-requisite to coaching with me, and if the client wishes to begin, we then determine together how many sessions per month are appropriate for the client's needs and what duration of time per session works best. I then price accordingly. As you might imagine, however, clients that choose to commit to longer periods of time receive a courtesy discount for that entire time period.

GROUP COACHING SERVICES
Group coaching is appropriate for those who have issues or situations in common, and would like the benefit of a group dynamic. As an example, I often do group coaching with different groups of women who are all experiencing similar circumstances in their lives (Baby Boomers, Quarter-lifers, return to the workplace, new professionals, women attorneys, etc.) and would like the guidance not only of the coach, but also of the others in the group who may well have valuable input. Often, these groups are formed by the very people who want to be in one - they gather together a number of others in like circumstances and create a group. Just as often, I form the group when I have a sufficient number of people who have similar needs. I keep the group size small (rarely more than 6 people) to maintain an environment conducive for everyone to be heard and included.
The benefits of group coaching are two-fold: you get the added input of others in situations similar to your own, who may view things from a different perspective and have insights not readily apparent to you; group coaching is also priced at a lower rate than individual coaching, as you would expect. Group coaching offers those who aren't ready for individual coaching an opportunity to experience the process of coaching to determine if it's right for them.
Just as with individual coaching, I ask that we do a complimentary session to ascertain whether the chemistry is right. Once we conclude that it's time to move forward, I schedule the group in accordance with the needs of the members and price it accordingly.
