FAQ's
Who are your typical customers?
An ideal corporate client seeks a Coach, a Facilitator, or an Interactive workshop for their leaders and/or high-potential employees. Often, clients are rapidly growing, merging, acquiring, reorganizing, or seeking to increase employee retention. I help companies ensure that the right people are in the right positions, help business leaders gain clarity and action plans for important projects, and assist in the development of sustainable and compelling career development strategies.

An ideal individual client is a highly-motivated, high-energy, optimistic, and successful professional between the ages of 30-50 who desires to have a truly authentic career. This individual desires to wake up each day with joy and wants to honor their deepest values through their profession. This individual believes that "getting by" isn't good enough, believes happiness is a choice, and is willing to invest in their personal potential. Typically, individual clients seek clarity in some aspect of their career, have started a new business, have recently been promoted, and/or want or ensure they advance their career in an authentic, lucrative, and fulfilling direction.

What differentiates you from other coaches?
I believe that the most important thing is that you experience the benefits of coaching. If I'm not the ideal fit for you, I will happily recommend you to others. Choosing a coach is much like choosing any other relationship and great "chemistry" is the key. I encourage you to go with your instinct, to talk to more than one person before making a decision, and to select a coach that you genuinely like. Please contact me and introduce yourself. Together, we can decide if we would make a great match. (Oh…and you should also really like the idea of working less, earning more, and living your "ideal" schedule.)
That said, I have over 14 years experience in career development in all types of organizations, and have helped over 1600 people through career transitions. I have built companies, lead successful teams, and have found a passion and niche in helping organizations and individuals through corporate change (I call this STORM Coaching™ - Sale, Transition, Outplacement, Reorganization, and/or Merger Coaching.)
I am certified as a Career Transition Coach, and an active member of many professional coaching, entrepreneurial, and consulting organizations to stay current, connected, and educated. I read and write about these topics daily, and speak about them often to educated, discriminating audiences (with rave reviews).
I provide valuable resources, ideas, and activities to get you where you want to go with more ease and more fun. I've been there, and want you to benefit from my hard lessons learned.
My personal mission is to help others close the gap between how they act and what they really feel. I strive to empower others to care deeply about their career, business, and profit, without sacrificing their humanity or health. I believe that when people are centered, conscious, and living from their hearts, that they naturally make choices that are good for their relationships, their community, and the environment.
Potentially the most important distinction is that I speak my truth, I walk my talk, and I have successfully designed my own authentic career. Guess what happened when I hired a Coach, got clear about what I wanted, said it out loud, and worked hard to make it a reality? Learn more...
Do you use standardized tests or assessment tools?
I do not administer standardized tests and personality assessments. I believe you are a unique human being and cannot be "standardized." Although assessments can be helpful in certain environments and can provide a framework for discussion, my approach is not mechanical and does not rely on tests. If a client specifically requests programs or instruments such as the DISC or Myers-Briggs, I recommend other trusted consultants who are certified in these tools, and build on the results in a coaching environment.
Does coaching really work?
Coaching works if you do. I've personally experienced dramatic benefits and I've witnessed astounding results in my clients. Independent studies show that coaching raises effectiveness by more than 50%, is 4x more effective than traditional training, and creates 7x the return on investment. Read more...
Why should I hire you?
Do you want results? Do you want to work with someone who "gets it" and moves you forward in your desired direction? My corporate coaching clients consistently increase employee retention, satisfaction, morale, and effectiveness. My individual coaching clients experience dramatic and positive shifts and offer heartfelt endorsements. Read client testimonials
Do you offer a guarantee?
I confidently provide an "it's free if you don't think it was worth it guarantee" on every session and do not require a contract.
How long would I need to work with you?
I encourage clients to make a personal commitment to themselves for at least 3 months of coaching. Most clients choose to continue the coaching relationship for anywhere from 6 months to 2 years after the initial engagement, because of the many benefits they experience in their lives.
What are your fees?
I offer cost effective programs and provide the same quality of service you'd find with at large corporate firms, at a fraction of the cost. Coaching services can typically be customized to meet your specific budget and needs.
I am experienced, certified, and have a proven track record of success helping great people accomplish great results. I guarantee my services and am confident that you will experience a substantial return on investment on both personal and professional levels.
The investment for Individual Coaching ranges from $125 - $250 per session. Corporate Leadership Coaching rates range from $250-$500 per session.
How Do I Get Started?
Please schedule a free consultation. Resources, referrals, or services will be recommended to fit your goals and budget. Individual coaching is typically done via phone, so clients can be located anywhere. A quick phone call or email is the first step.
