What methods do you use?

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.

What are the coaching fees?

Different coaching services and means have different rates. Please see the page describing the type of coaching you're seeking:

business coaching

leadership skills

executive coaching

	life coaching
	personal coaching

Remember coaching fees are, in many cases, U.S. business tax-deductible.

How would we proceed?

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.

How long does coaching take?

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. Previously clients' comments are here.
