Coaching

Free First Session

To give you experience in the coaching process and to get to know more about my coaching style, I happily offer you a complimentary one half-hour introductory coaching session. After that you can determine if you would like to continue a coaching partnership with me.

Logistics

Our meetings can be by phone or in person depending on geographic location. (Even if you are a non-local client, my goal is to visit each client once every 18 months no matter where you live.)

Assessment/Feedback

At the end of the fourth session, I provide a Coaching Feedback Form for you to complete to give me feedback on how the coaching relationship is working for you.

Please know that I welcome feedback at any time so feel free to share with me your thoughts on how we can enhance or change the coaching process to best meet your needs. If I ever say or do something that you don't appreciate, please mention it to me as soon as possible so I can make it right for you. And, always feel welcome to share the value you find in the coaching.

I draw on a wide set of disciplines, experiences and training to provide coaching. I use tools, techniques and insights from my education in human performance, business and education; training in Covey, NLP, coaching, transformational leadership, change management, TQM and organisational development; my experience coaching other business and academic professionals and my life experience as an employee, manager, trainer, facilitator, leader, mother, spouse, and human being

My Coaching Style 

Coaching is a time when you can enjoy, reflect and feel supported. I strive to help clients:
• Achieve goals
• Use current skills in more effective ways
• Develop new skills
• Affect others' behaviour
• Develop synergy
• Create balance
• Enhance the quality of outcomes
• Increase self-awareness
• Increase self-confidence
• Create the life of their dreams

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is critical to our relationship so I consider our coaching sessions strictly confidential. Any subject discussed and/or items shared, including such things as personal information, future plans, proprietary information, goals, job and company information will remain confidential.

Fees

My fees range from $675 - $900 per month which includes 3 of coaching, generally scheduled as four 45 minute weekly sessions, non-contact time (for planning, reading, preparation) and incidental conversations (to report progress, celebrate, receive extra support, clarify ideas, etc.).

Billing

I invoice by fax or email on the first of the month for that month's sessions. I appreciate prompt payment.

How I Receive Payment 

I receive payment in three ways from coaching relationships. The first is by the fees you pay to me. The second is from the honour of coaching you and the joy and growth I experience from coaching. The third is from colleagues, associates, friends and relatives that you refer to me. I do appreciate all three ways of receiving my reward so I want to thank you for creating this partnership with me.

Obligation

There is no obligation for any predetermined number of hours or sessions. If it is necessary to cancel or postpone an appointment, please do so at least 48 hours in advance and I will reschedule the session. (Missed appointments that are not cancelled at least 48 hours in advance will be invoiced but not rescheduled.) I also ask that you be available promptly at the pre-arranged time so we have a complete hour of coaching.

Recommended Commitment

I do recommend that you commit to 3 months of coaching in order to experience the benefit of a well-developed coaching relationship and give yourself time experience the successes that coaching adds to your life. However, you are under no commitment for any predetermined number of sessions or length of time for coaching.

Changes

If you need to reschedule your call, please give me at least a 48-hour notice. If you have an emergency, we will work around it. If you must cancel a call, we will make it up at a mutually agreeable time, generally during the fourth week of the month.

Extra Time

Feel free to contact me between our calls if you need advice, have a problem or especially when you can't wait to share a success. 1 do have time between our regular calls to speak with you, if needed. 1 enjoy providing this extra level of service. 1 do not bill for additional time of this type, but 1 ask that you keep the extra contacts to those that are very important to you.

Next Step

Contact me for a complimentary no-obligation 30 minute coaching session to discover how coaching can make a difference in your life. By taking this next step you are investing in a better future.
