my clients need to understand about coaching. I work weekly: I work weekly, or more, with my clients. I believe in an ongoing, nurturing and developing relationship. I usually offer 3 sessions a month. I’m paid in monthly: I’m paid monthly, in advance, for individual coaching. I don’t bill for each session. My fees range from $100- $450 monthly. I also provide open ended coaching for an annual retainer fee. We coach to fit your busy schedule. Group rates are also available. Contact me about special International rates. Coaching, not therapy: Although I bring experience like pastoral counseling to my work as a coach, my focus is on coaching, not therapy. I refer clients to the best available professionals for their psychological, health and financial concerns. I help clients reach goals. I have an international practice: Many clients work with me on the telephone - from next door, across the country, and around the world. I am completely confidential: I do not talk about my client’s issues to anyone. I consider the confidentiality between coach and client as sacred. I am on a path of mastery: I understand that the technology of coaching is growing rapidly and I keep myself continuously growing personally and professionally. I continually hone my coaching skills through ongoing training at the Graduate School of Coaching and the Graduate School of Corporate Coaching. My job is to share what I see and sense: I do not solve my client’s problems. My clients have the answers within themselves. I share wisdom, steps, solutions and advice, but will not create a dependency. I ask for more: My job is to ask for a little more than my clients think they can reasonably do. My job is to provoke action and living beyond the client's reasonable efforts. I am your leadership partner: I support you to take actions. My best coaching occurs when my client is self-generative, instead of being pushed. I work with you as a person: I need to help my clients reach their goals and solve problems, but I also want to know who my client is, where he/she comes from, where he/she is at, how he/she thinks, assumptions he/she has made, what motivates him/her. I strive for the "Ah-Hahs"--epiphany experiences. The value of coaching isn’t based on how much time is spent coaching. Great coaching sometimes occurs in 60 seconds - when the right thing is said in the right way, my client leaps forward. I give field work: The coaching session isn’t the key aspect of the coach process. Having great sessions with my clients is important, but it’s not the "quality" of our session that’s most important. Rather, it’s how well my client integrates and uses the concepts, action steps, and changes into his/her life. I am sincerely motivated by the goal to see my clients grow: Though I get paid for my services, the client is the primary motivation for me in my work. I strive to under-promise and over-deliver at every turn of my coaching practice. I adhere to
the ethics guidelines of the International Association of Coaches: where
I am also a member. I work with colleagues who also adhere to these same
ethical guidelines. |
