Is this for me?

You probably want to know a bit about what to expect before you make any decisions, right? Here are some of the typical questions prospective clients ask as they’re considering working with me.

• Who do you work with?
• What’s coaching like?
• What results can I expect?
• How is coaching different from counseling?
• How do I know if coaching is right for me?
• How much does it cost?

Who do you work with?

I’m drawn to people who are excited about their business, who are committed to learning and who are willing to explore what’s possible. My Choice Client:

• Has a generally positive outlook
• Is actively seeking growth, both personal and professional
• Is authentic & honest
• Takes their success seriously - but has fun with it
• Sees the value of support
• Doesn’t want 8am appointments (wink, wink)

What’s coaching like?

We all get stuck in our “stuff” precisely because we’re so immersed in our own point of view, we can’t seem to see any options.

A good coach holds the assumption that the client has the best answers for their own life. The coach’s job is to draw those answers out of you, and to offer another perspective. This is usually done by asking questions that invite you to take a deeper or broader than usual look at what’s going on and how you might approach it differently.

Sometimes you’ll also be offered respectful “challenges” that encourage you to expand your current comfort zone. (Remember, your business is going to grow as fast and as far as you do.) And I typically end sessions by asking for 3 actions you’ll take to move forward with your goals.

What results can I expect?

This really depends on the goals you have for yourself.

At the very least, my clients experience:

• greater clarity
• higher levels of confidence
• deeper self-awareness
• stronger motivation
• more appreciation for their natural strengths

On a pragmatic level, you’ll:

• construct a very clear picture of who your Choice Client is
• learn how to talk with potential clients comfortably and persuasively
• take focused action to achieve your goals
• have a precise understanding of the value you offer your clients (so you can confidently state your fees, and even increase them)

How is coaching different from counseling?

Coaching is for people who are functioning well in life and who want to experience greater levels of fulfillment and success. Therapy tends to focus on the past and has a “something’s broken, let’s fix it” orientation. Coaching focuses on using your strengths to support you in accomplishing your goals. Achieving results and forward movement are an integral part of this.

Therapy is appropriate for problems or challenges that are interfering with your ability to cope with life on a day-to-day basis.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

We can all benefit from having an ally who is focused on the achievement of our goals right along with us. You might consider working with a coach if:

• your results aren’t matching your potential
• you are out to make a positive difference through your business
• you’re no longer willing to let the Little Voice (you know the one I mean) in your head get in your way
• you want to experience more enjoyment and success in your business
• you know that stretching yourself and expanding your comfort zone is what leads to accomplishing great things
• you’re tired of trying to do it all on your own

How much does it cost?

Again, this will depend on your goals and how we work together. I offer both individual and group coaching, teleseminars, workshops and educational products. To give you an accurate answer, we’ll want to have a brief conversation about your business and what you intend to accomplish. Then I’ll be able to recommend which program(s) might best support you in that and the cost. Alternatively, we may decide we’re not a match and I’ll be able to suggest other resources or refer you to someone else.
