Frequently Asked Questions

STILL NOT SURE?

THE COACHING PRACTICE

Are there professional standards for the coaching industry?

Yes, there is a code of ethics, core competencies, accreditation processes, and an International Coach Federation (industry association) that promotes the advancement of coaches. To learn more about this, click here: https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/coaching-ethics/icf-code-of-ethics/

How will I know you are the right coach for me?

During our initial conversations and/or discovery session, together we will identify if we are an appropriate fit. So, before you say "yes," you will have a taste of what the coaching experience will be like. Until then, click on the About page to learn more about me and my approach to coaching.

How do I get started in the coaching process?

If you are interested in beginning the coaching process, please click this link to schedule a time to explore the details of the coaching relationship.

What can I expect from you as my coach?

I will:

1. Be a partner in bringing out the best, the deepest, and the truest in you;

2. Provide psychological safety, encouragement, and support, creating an environment in which you can relax and explore;

3. Respect the confidentiality of the agreements we make;

4. Expand your view of what is possible and promote the discovery of new insights;

5. Give you input, straight feedback, and operate as a sounding board;

6. Listen carefully to what you say and ask questions that increase awareness;

7. Be an ongoing resource for you in accomplishing your intentions.

What if I sign up for this and decide it is not right for me? Do you have a money-back guarantee?

Yes, I call it my "participate and get your money back" guarantee. If, within the first month of our relationship, you show up to the calls and participate fully in the coaching process, you can simply let me know this is not working for you, and I will completely refund your money. To honor the coaching agreement and the coaching process, if you sign up but do not show up for your coaching sessions, do not complete the follow-up work, etc., we will not issue a refund.

PAYING FOR SERVICES

What are the various methods of payment I can use to pay for my services?

Credit Card (which includes PayPal). You can also have your coach process your payments for you each month on a credit/debit card.

To pay by Credit Card or PayPal: when you receive your monthly invoice, click on the link in the invoice. Here you can either enter your credit card number or PayPal information and my system will automatically (and securely) process your payment.
