FAQs

Do you feel like you’re doing a stellar job but not getting noticed? Wish you had a sounding board who wouldn’t judge you – and has no agenda other than helping you? An executive coach, like me, loves working with professionals who want to take their role to the next level.
Engagements last three to six months, but some of my clients have been with me for many years.
Most of my clients have an hour session every two to three weeks.
Absolutely. A business executive coach will see your blind spots and teach you how to leapfrog. I help transform you into an enhanced version of who you are today.
It depends on the client. I regularly use 360-degree and industry-specific assessments like Genos 360 and Profile XT.
While I have my own preferred methodology, I believe that each and every client is unique. It’s all about creating a tailored programme to match your needs.
Yes. Professional coaching is a complex experience, and I want to make sure both you and I work together well. So I offer a complimentary discovery session to see if we’re a match.
Either in person or online – or both! It just depends on your location.
Typically any cancellation within 24 hours of the session will still be charged at my standard rate.
