Good
coaching is an intimate process, a unique and cooperative effort.
The decision to seek coaching is an important one that often changes the
course of a person's career and/or life. We are internationally
experienced in coaching and truly love doing it.
Our
coaching method requires trust and teamwork, which means one-to-one
meetings to build a close, professional relationship. We don't do
seminars, group training or retreats. Rather we provide you safe,
confidential meetings (face-to face, by phone, e-mail or IM) with an
expert who knows how to help you better manage the challenges of your
life and career...and successfully reach your goals.
Some
goals can be achieved in a relatively short time. Others require
more in-depth work. In either case, the decision on how to proceed
will be made jointly by you and your coach. Every person is
different. We don't have "cookie cutter," boilerplate
ways of helping people. You and your situation are unique and
we'll treat you that way.
_______________________________________________________
Different coaching services and means have
different rates. Please see the page describing the type of
coaching you're seeking:
NOTE:
Coaching fees are
U.S. tax-deductible
as a qualified, work-related education expense
to maintain or improve skills (Schedule A, line 20 and/or Form 2106,
line 4).
_______________________________________________________
After a free, initial phone consultation to see
if we have a good match, we'll decide together which tests you should
take. Then after payment is received for the tests and the coaching
package you choose, the tests will be sent to you and the formal coaching
process can begin. We will schedule meetings, as you desire, to
maximize your progress and convenience.
_______________________________________________________
The length of the coaching
process varies depending on the goal(s) you want to achieve. I am
committed to working as quickly as possible so you attain your goals as
rapidly as you can. We will both need to work hard to do so.
