Who is your ideal client?

The short version: if you’re reading this right now, it’s very likely you. The longer version: I work with ambitious and curious humans who are ready to reimagine what is possible. I find the labels my clients often include founder, entrepreneur, creative, artist, designer, writer, business leader, coach, changemaker, and seeker. Above all else, my clients are committed to the coaching process and bring their full selves to our working relationship.

How long is an engagement?

Every coaching relationship is unique. Think of me as your co-pilot and the duration of our coaching and the frequency of sessions are mutually determined. I ask for an energetic commitment of 6 months as I’ve found that this is the ripe amount of time to see progress - but again there are exceptions. Rest assured that no coaching relationship should last forever.

How often do we meet?

It depends. Everyone has the pace they prefer and this can often change throughout a coaching relationship. Some clients choose to speak every month, while others prefer more or less space between our sessions. In between conversations, I make myself available via email, WhatsApp, or a shared Google doc as and when it serves you best.

Where do we meet?

Most of my sessions are virtual and often voice-only. Sessions take place over Hangouts or by phone. I leave it up to you based on your preference and am happy to do video calls or meet in person if we are in the same city.

How long is a session?

Coaching sessions typically last an hour, but sometimes go longer depending on your objectives and how much we're able to achieve in the allotted time.

How much time do I have to invest in coaching?

Like anything in life, you will get out of this what you put into it. Unfortunately, there is no hack for doing the work (that I’m aware of). Coaching includes not only the sessions but also the preparation and follow-up. To make meaningful progress toward the future you envision, you can expect to put in the work on an ongoing basis. Accountability is an important aspect of any coaching relationship and we identify the best accountability mechanisms for you. I provide notes and reflections that keep a running record of what was discussed and committed to and invitations for diving deeper.

What are your qualifications?

I believe that being a partner, coach, and facilitator, are the instruments I was put on this earth to play. I am a Co-Active Institute (CTI) trained coach, a Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and a Next Stage Intensive™ Integral Facilitator with Ten Directions. I’ve been practicing Vedic meditation since 2017 and am a certified yoga instructor (200-hr YTT and 50-hr Yin TT). And while I have studied philosophy, marketing, design, education, and psychology — it’s my curiosity, candor, and care that clients tell me they appreciate most.

What is your coaching style?

My style is caring, candid, and courageous. Since every client is different with unique backgrounds, experiences, values, circumstances, challenges, and opportunities - I move between thought partner, sounding board, and provocateur. I believe that all human beings are naturally creative and resourceful and my aim which is reflected in my style, is for you to flourish.

Do you have a specific approach?

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to coaching. While I draw on proven frameworks and tools, I believe you are inherently wise and resourceful in determining the best path forward. My immediate goal is to help you develop novel perspectives and approaches rather than providing advice or answers. I tailor the approach based on your context, challenges, experiences, cultural norms, values, and knowledge. We co-design the coaching relationship.

How do you measure results?

We get clear on what success looks like and continually check in to ensure we are on track. If we discover we are moving in a different direction, we might course correct or reset our metrics of success. Past clients successfully report feeling more clear, inspired, and empowered to get moving to realize their dreams.

What are your rates?

I charge in cycles of six sessions so you can see this as a retainer. After this, we typically stop, pause, or continue. I work with a sliding pricing scale that is determined by your ability to pay. I don’t let money get in the way if we were meant to work together. I am happy for clients to pay in instalments if that suits them better.

Do you do group coaching?

Yes. It is a six-week program capped at six people. I bring in some of the best coaches and facilitators I know to make it a rich and dynamic experience. The next one begins in Spring 2024 and if you’d like more details then drop me a line here.

What does a typical session look like?

There are loads of models for coaching conversations. I’m listening for the signals, the things that are not spoken, and always for what is emergent. The process I favor which dates back to the Socratic method. This means, among other things: deliberate inquiries, open-hearted dialogue, and generous and powerful questions. I talk straight because clarity is kind, I listen deeply as that’s what you pay me for, and I care immensely because this is my life’s work. You can learn more about my methodology and approach here.

How do we get started?

Before we get started, I send a standard coaching agreement, an invoice for our agreed sessions, and any other resources or materials that are relevant to you. During our first ‘discovery’ session, we set design our partnership so that we know what success looks like, measurements for progress, and paths we will explore to get there. We agree on logistics and address any questions before moving forward. You can find a time in my Calendly or advise me when you like to have our sessions — I want to make it easy for you.
