Coaching prep: what to expect

New to coaching? Before your first session, here’s what to know:

  • Bring a topic to each session—we’ll always start there.

  • Find a distraction-free space so you can be fully present.

  • Have a pen & paper handy (but I’ll also send session notes).

  • If you’d like a blend of coaching + consulting, let’s discuss—this may affect pricing.

  • We’ll tailor accountability & coaching styles to fit you.

  • Coaching is about insight, strategy & transformation—expect deep, thought-provoking questions.

Life Coaching FAQs

  • Yes. I'm an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the worldwide governing body for accredited coaches — a lot of coaches practicing today aren't accredited or certified this way. I'm also a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), trained through iPEC, one of the most respected ICF-accredited coaching programs in the world.

  • If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next steps, life coaching can be a game-changer. The right coach helps you break past limiting beliefs, create a clear action plan, and stay accountable—leading to tangible progress.

    • Therapy focuses on healing past wounds, while coaching is about taking action toward your future. Coaching works best if you’re mentally well but need guidance, structure, and accountability to achieve your personal or professional goals.

  • A mentor primarily shares personal experience. A consultant provides recommendations based on their expertise. A coach helps you think more clearly by asking powerful questions that uncover new perspectives and possibilities.

    My approach draws from all three when appropriate. Professional coaching remains the foundation of my work, but there are times when practical experience, strategic insight, or an outside perspective creates greater value than questions alone. My role is to know the difference and bring what best serves you and your goals.

  • Life coaching rates vary based on experience, session length, and package structure. Single sessions often range from $250–$500+, with packages offering savings. You can view my current rates here.

  • Yes, when done by a trained coach. Coaching is an established field that draws from psychology, goal-setting methodologies, and personal development frameworks to create real results. The key is finding a coach whose style and expertise align with your needs.

business coaching FAQs

  • A great business coach brings strategic insight, sharp problem-solving skills, and a results-driven approach. They don’t just offer generic advice—they challenge your thinking, refine your strategy, and help you execute with precision. Look for someone who has real business experience, strong coaching skills, and a proven track record of helping entrepreneurs and leaders grow.

  • ✔ Experience—Do they understand your industry, challenges, or stage of business?
    ✔ Coaching Style—Are they direct, supportive, hands-on, or strategic? What do you need?
    ✔ Results-Oriented—Do they focus on actionable insights and real progress?
    ✔ Accountability & Strategy—Will they help you stay on track and push past obstacles?
    ✔ The Right Fit—Coaching is personal. The best business coach is one you trust, respect, and feel energized working with.

  • A business coach helps you gain clarity, refine your strategy, and execute with confidence. Whether you’re launching, scaling, or restructuring, coaching provides:

    • Strategic guidance for decision-making and business growth.

    • Accountability & structure to help you stay focused and efficient.

    • Leadership & mindset coaching to build confidence and resilience.

    • Systems & operational insights to improve workflow and productivity.

  • Rates for business coaching vary depending on the coach’s expertise, the level of support, and session length. Many coaches charge $300–$1,000+ per session, while structured programs or retainers can range from $1,500–$10,000+ per month. You can view my current pricing here.

executive coaching FAQs

  • Executive coaching is designed for high-level leaders, decision-makers, and professionals who want to enhance their leadership skills, strategic thinking, and performance. While business coaching often focuses on growing a business itself, executive coaching is about elevating the individual behind the business—helping leaders navigate complex challenges, make better decisions, and lead with confidence.

  • Each session is tailored to your goals, challenges, and the decisions you're facing. Expect thoughtful conversation, powerful questions, practical insight, and clear next steps. Depending on your needs, we may explore:

    • Leadership development (decision-making, influence, executive presence)

    • Communication and conflict resolution

    • High-performance habits and sustainable effectiveness

    • Navigating growth, transition, or organizational change

    • Strategic thinking and complex decision-making

    Professional coaching is the foundation of my work, but not every challenge requires the same approach. Sometimes the greatest value comes from better questions. Other times it comes from practical experience, strategic perspective, or an outside point of view. My role is to know the difference and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

  • Executive coaching rates vary widely based on experience, session structure, and level of engagement. Many top-tier executive coaches charge between $5,000–$20,000 per engagement, with some offering monthly retainers starting at $2,500+.

    You can view my current executive coaching structure here.

  • Strong leadership isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about having the vision, resilience, and strategic mindset to lead effectively under pressure. Executive coaching helps leaders:
    ✔ Refine their leadership style & executive presence
    ✔ Make high-impact decisions with confidence
    ✔ Navigate conflict & manage teams more effectively
    ✔ Develop strategies for long-term growth & sustainability

    Whether you’re leading a company, scaling a business, or preparing for a major transition, executive coaching ensures you operate at your highest level.

  • If you’re committed to growth, executive coaching is one of the highest ROI investments you can make. Studies show that executive coaching leads to measurable improvements in leadership performance, employee engagement, and decision-making effectiveness.

    Unlike generic leadership programs, this is a tailored, 1:1 approach that helps you break through personal and professional barriers faster—delivering results that extend far beyond the sessions themselves.

RELATIONSHIP coaching FAQs

  • A relationship coach helps you improve communication, deepen connection, and break unhealthy patterns—whether you’re navigating dating, long-term commitment, or personal growth. Unlike therapy, coaching is forward-focused, giving you practical strategies and tools to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

  • If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or repeating the same challenges, coaching can help. Signs you might benefit:
    ✔ You struggle to express your needs clearly
    ✔ Conflicts feel repetitive and unresolved
    ✔ You want more intimacy, trust, or emotional depth
    ✔ You’re seeking stronger connections—romantic or otherwise

    You don’t need a crisis to start coaching—it’s about building skills that enhance all your relationships.

  • Therapy is focused on healing the past, resolving trauma, and diagnosing mental health concerns.
    Relationship coaching is about understanding your patterns, improving communication, and creating a clear action plan for better relationships moving forward.

    If deep emotional wounds or mental health struggles are involved, therapy might be a better fit. If you’re ready for strategy, clarity, and action, coaching is the way to go.

  • Absolutely. Relationship coaching isn’t just for couples—it’s for anyone who wants to improve how they relate to others.

    ✔ Want to break past old dating patterns? Coaching helps you navigate relationships with more confidence.
    ✔ Struggling with friendships or family dynamics? Relationship coaching isn’t just about romance—it applies to all areas of life.
    ✔ Working on self-love & boundaries? Understanding yourself first leads to healthier relationships later.

  • Rates vary based on the coach’s experience, session format, and package structure. Some coaches charge $150–$500 per session, while longer-term coaching packages can range from $1,000–$5,000+ depending on the level of support.
