Leadership Coaching – Frequently Asked Questions
What does a session look like?
Leadership coaching sessions are typically held on a bi-weekly basis, but depending on the needs of the individual can be more or less frequent. The early sessions focus on developing a deep understanding of the challenge and creating mutually agreed upon goals. Subsequent sessions will focus on the development, utilization and maintenance of specifically tailored techniques to achieve goals.

What are the fees?
The fee for a 50 minute session is $175. Half hour sessions are also available for a fee of $90.
How long does a coaching engagement last?
Coaching is generally considered to be a short and medium term effort. While there are situations where indefinite or long-term coaching is advisable, we expect to start seeing sustainable and meaningful change in as little as 8 sessions.
How are your coaching services different than therapy?
Even though leadership coaching is centered on self-improvement, the process is distinct from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy often focuses on questions surrounding “why we are the way we are,” leading to the development of coping skills to manage emotional and relational issues in our lives.
The goal in coaching is to focus on developing skills and habitual changes to achieve professional goals. Both coaching and therapy are valuable processes which can occur concurrently.
