What kind of coaching engagements do you offer?

I offer a range of structured coaching engagements designed to fit different needs and goals. My most popular options are the 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month programs.

These provide a dedicated timeframe for focused work on your specific business challenges and opportunities.

Each program includes regular sessions, personalized action plans, and ongoing support to ensure you make consistent progress. While these structured engagements are the most effective way to achieve significant results, I do offer hourly sessions on a case-by-case basis for clients with very specific, short-term needs.

Let’s discuss your individual situation to determine which option best aligns with your objectives.

What exactly is business coaching?

Business coaching is a collaborative partnership that empowers you to achieve your business goals and reach your full potential as a leader.

It’s not about giving advice or telling you what to do.

Instead, I act as a guide, helping you gain clarity about your vision, identify your strengths and weaknesses, overcome obstacles, and develop strategies for sustainable growth.

Through insightful questions, active listening, and proven frameworks, I support you in making informed decisions, taking consistent action, and maximizing your impact.

Ultimately, coaching helps you unlock your own inner wisdom and create a business that aligns with your values and aspirations.

How do I know if business coaching is right for me?

Business coaching is most effective for individuals who are committed to growth, open to new perspectives, and willing to put in the work required to achieve their goals.

If you’re a business owner or leader who is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to take your business to the next level, coaching could be a valuable investment.

It’s particularly beneficial for those who are facing challenges such as scaling their business, improving profitability, enhancing leadership skills, or navigating significant transitions.

The best way to determine if coaching is right for you is to schedule a complimentary consultation. We can discuss your specific needs and goals, and explore how coaching can help you achieve them.

What is your coaching philosophy?

My coaching philosophy centres around empowering business owners to unlock their full potential and achieve sustainable growth through consistent, strategic action. I believe that every business leader has within them the answers they seek.

My role is not to provide solutions, but rather to facilitate a process of self-discovery, helping you clarify your vision, identify your unique strengths, and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way.

I’m a firm believer in the power of small, consistent gains – the “1% edge.” I guide my clients in making incremental improvements in key areas of their business, knowing that these small changes, when compounded over time, lead to remarkable results. This approach emphasizes sustainable growth, avoiding quick fixes or short-term gains that don’t contribute to long-term success.

My coaching style is collaborative and results-oriented. I provide a supportive yet challenging environment where you can explore new ideas, experiment with different strategies, and develop the leadership skills necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic business landscape.
I hold you accountable for your goals, providing the structure and support you need to stay on track and achieve meaningful progress.

Ultimately, my goal is to empower you to discover greater fulfilment in your work and personal life, aligning your actions with your values and passions to create a more meaningful and satisfying experience.

What is your area of expertise or specialization?

My expertise centres on empowering business owners and leaders to navigate the complexities of growth and achieve their full potential.

I specialize in helping individuals clarify their vision, develop strategic plans, and enhance their leadership capabilities.

I work with clients facing a range of challenges, including scaling operations, managing teams, improving profitability, and navigating significant transitions.

I’m particularly adept at helping clients identify their unique strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and cultivate the confidence needed to make impactful decisions. My approach is highly personalized, focusing on creating actionable strategies tailored to each client’s specific needs and goals.

While I’ve worked with clients across diverse industries, my experience has provided me with a deep understanding of Small Business operations, SaaS, Fintech, BPO and Marketing.  Ultimately, my focus is on equipping you with the tools and support you need to lead effectively, achieve sustainable results, and create a fulfilling and successful professional life.

What can I expect from a coaching session?

A coaching session is a dedicated space for you to focus on your most pressing challenges and opportunities. Each session typically lasts 60 minutes and is structured around your specific agenda.

We’ll begin by reviewing your progress since our last session, discussing any wins, challenges, or roadblocks you’ve encountered. From there, we’ll delve into the topics you’ve prioritized, using insightful questions, active listening, and proven frameworks to help you gain clarity, explore new perspectives, and develop actionable strategies.

The process is highly collaborative. I’ll guide you through a process of self-discovery, helping you identify your strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and uncover hidden potential. I’ll also provide tools and resources to support your growth and development.

While I won’t offer direct advice, I will empower you to find your own solutions by asking powerful questions and providing objective feedback.

Typical outcomes of a coach session include:

  • Increased clarity: You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your goals, challenges, and the steps needed to achieve them.
  • Actionable strategies: You’ll develop concrete plans and strategies to address specific issues and move closer to your objectives.
  • Enhanced self-awareness: You’ll gain insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots, allowing you to lead more effectively.
  • Increased confidence: You’ll build confidence in your ability to make decisions, take action, and overcome obstacles.
  • Greater motivation: You’ll leave each session feeling energized, inspired, and committed to your goals.

Ultimately, each session is designed to empower you to take ownership of your growth and create the results you desire.

How do you measure the success of coaching engagements?

Measuring the success of coaching engagements is a multifaceted process that goes beyond simple metrics. While we will certainly try to track tangible outcomes like increased revenue, improved efficiency, or achievement of specific goals, I believe true success lies in the deeper transformation that occurs.

Here’s how I approach measuring progress and demonstrating results:

    • Establishing Clear Goals: At the outset of our engagement, together we will define your desired outcomes. These goals will serve as our compass, guiding our sessions and providing a framework for measuring progress.
    • Regular Check-ins and Feedback: Throughout our journey together, we’ll have regular check-ins to assess your progress, celebrate wins, and address any challenges. I’ll provide ongoing feedback and support to ensure you stay on track and make consistent strides towards your goals.
    • Tracking Key Metrics: We’ll identify specific metrics that are relevant to your goals – these could include financial performance indicators, operational efficiency measures, or personal development milestones. By tracking these metrics, we can objectively assess the impact of coaching on your business and your life.
    • Qualitative Feedback and Self-Assessment: Beyond quantitative metrics, we’ll also use qualitative feedback and self-assessment tools to gauge your progress. This could include journaling, reflective exercises, or simply open and honest conversations about your experiences and growth.
    • Celebrating Milestones and Recognizing Achievements: Throughout our engagement, we’ll celebrate your milestones and acknowledge your achievements, both big and small. This helps to build momentum, reinforce positive changes, and keep you motivated on your journey.

 

Ultimately, the most important measure of success is the positive impact coaching has on your life and your business.

Are you feeling more confident, focused, and empowered? Are you making progress towards your goals and creating a business and a life that you truly love?
These are the questions that truly matter.

Do you offer any guarantees?

While I can’t offer guarantees of specific outcomes – as your success ultimately depends on your own commitment and effort – I can assure you that I’m fully dedicated to providing you with the highest quality coaching experience.
I’m confident that my expertise, guidance, and support will be invaluable in helping you achieve your goals and create positive change in your business and your life.

Here’s what I can guarantee:

  • My full commitment: I’ll be fully present and invested in your success throughout our engagement. I’ll bring my expertise, experience, and unwavering support to every session.
  • A safe and supportive space: I’ll create a safe and confidential environment where you can openly share your challenges, explore new ideas, and be vulnerable without judgment.
  • Personalized guidance: I’ll tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals, providing customized strategies and support that are relevant to your specific situation.
  • Actionable tools and resources: I’ll equip you with practical tools, frameworks, and resources that you can use to implement positive change in your business and your life.
  • Ongoing accountability: I’ll hold you accountable for your commitments, helping you stay focused and motivated on your journey towards your goals.

I believe in the transformative power of coaching, and I’m confident that our partnership will be a valuable investment in your growth and development. If you’re willing to put in the work, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Logistics and Pacticalities

What are your fees and payment options?

My fees are based on the specific engagement you choose, as each program is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

To provide flexibility and accommodate different budgets, I offer various payment options:

  • Upfront Payment: For those who prefer to make a single payment, you can pay for the entire engagement upfront and receive a discount on the total fee.
  • Monthly Instalments: You can spread the cost of your engagement over monthly instalments, making it easier to manage your budget

All major credit cards and electronic payment methods are accepted.

To discuss your specific needs and explore the pricing options that best suit your budget, please schedule a complimentary consultation. During this call, we can delve into your goals, tailor a program that aligns with your requirements, and create a payment plan that works for you.
My priority is to make coaching accessible and convenient, so you can focus on what truly matters – your growth and success.

How often do coaching sessions take place?

The frequency of coaching sessions is something we’ll determine together based on your specific needs and availability.

However, I generally recommend a minimum of three sessions per month to maintain momentum and ensure consistent progress.

Ideally, these sessions would be spaced out evenly throughout the month, either weekly or bi-weekly, to provide ongoing support and accountability. Of course, I understand that executives and business owners have demanding schedules. We’ll work together to find a cadence that fits your rhythm and allows for focused attention during our sessions.

I also understand that urgent matters can arise, and sometimes you need immediate support. Therefore, I offer the flexibility to schedule ad-hoc sessions as needed. These additional sessions will be deducted from your overall engagement total, ensuring you receive the full value of your coaching package.

My priority is to be a responsive and reliable partner in your journey, providing the guidance and support you need, when you need it most.

Where do coaching sessions take place?

All client coach sessions take place via video call using a secure and reliable platform.

This offers you the flexibility to connect with me from anywhere in the world, whether you’re in your office, at home, or traveling for business. This virtual approach eliminates the need for commuting and allows you to seamlessly integrate coaching into your busy schedule, no matter where your business takes you.

It also ensures that you have access to the support and guidance you need, whenever and wherever you require it.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and sometimes you may need to reschedule a session.

To ensure that we can make the most of our time together, I require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or rescheduling’s. This allows me to adjust my schedule accordingly and offer the time slot to another client who may be waiting for an opening.

Same-day cancellations will unfortunately result in the session being deducted from your overall engagement total.

This policy is in place to ensure that you remain committed to your coaching journey and to value the time we have dedicated to your growth and development.

Of course, I’m always willing to be flexible in cases of genuine emergencies.

Please communicate with me as soon as possible if something unexpected comes up, and we’ll work together to find a suitable solution.

How do I get started with coaching?

Taking the first step towards transformative coaching is easy. Simply reach out to schedule a no-obligation initial conversation. This complimentary consultation is an opportunity for us to connect, explore your specific needs and goals, and determine if coaching is the right fit for you.

During this conversation, we’ll discuss:

  • Your current challenges and aspirations: What are you hoping to achieve through coaching? What obstacles are preventing you from reaching your full potential?
  • Your vision for the future: Where do you see yourself and your business in the coming months and years?
  • How a coach can help: I’ll share insights into my coaching approach and how it can support you in achieving your goals.
  • The different engagement options: We’ll explore the various coaching programs available and determine which one best aligns with your needs and budget.

This initial conversation is a chance for us to get to know each other, establish a rapport, and ensure that we’re the right fit for a successful coaching partnership.

There’s no obligation to commit to coaching after this call – it’s simply an opportunity to explore the possibilities and see how I can help you unlock your full potential.

Coaching Concerns

Is coaching confidential?

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my coaching practice. I adhere to the strict ethical guidelines set forth by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which ensures that all our conversations remain completely confidential. You can find the full ICF Code of Ethics here: https://coachingfederation.org/code-of-ethics

This code outlines the core values and ethical principles that guide a professional coach, including confidentiality, integrity, and respect for client autonomy. It emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and trusting space where clients can freely express themselves without fear of judgment or disclosure.

In accordance with these guidelines, I am committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all information shared during our coaching sessions. This includes your personal reflections, business challenges, goals, and any other sensitive information you may choose to disclose. You can rest assured that your privacy is of utmost importance to me, and I will treat your information with the utmost respect and discretion.

The ICF Code of Ethics also addresses other important aspects of the client coach relationship, such as professional conduct, conflict of interest, and ongoing professional development. By adhering to these standards, I aim to provide you with the highest level of ethical and professional coaching services.

How is coaching different from consulting or mentoring?

While coaching, consulting, and mentoring share some similarities, they are distinct services with different focuses and outcomes. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:

Coaching:

  • Focus: Unlocking your potential, enhancing self-awareness, and empowering you to find your own solutions. It’s about facilitating your growth and development, not providing direct advice or expertise.
  • Process: Collaborative and non-directive. The coach asks powerful questions, provides support and accountability, and guides you through a process of self-discovery.
  • Outcome: Increased clarity, enhanced decision-making skills, improved leadership capabilities, and greater personal fulfilment.

Consulting:

  • Focus: Providing expert advice and solutions to specific business problems or challenges. Consultants leverage their specialized knowledge and experience to recommend strategies and implement solutions.
  • Process: Problem-solving and solution-oriented. The consultant analyses your situation, conducts research, and delivers recommendations or action plans.
  • Outcome: Improved business performance, optimized processes, and tangible solutions to specific challenges.

Mentoring:

  • Focus: Sharing knowledge, experience, and guidance based on the mentor’s own career journey. Mentors offer advice, support, and insights to help you navigate your professional development.
  • Process: Relationship-based and often informal. The mentor shares their experiences, offers advice, and provides guidance based on their own expertise.
  • Outcome: Enhanced career development, expanded professional network, and greater understanding of your industry or field.

In essence:

  • Coaching helps you unlock your inner potential and find your own answers.
  • Consulting provides expert advice and solutions to specific problems.
  • Mentoring offers guidance and support based on experience and expertise.

Choosing the right service depends on your specific needs and goals. If you’re looking for support in developing your leadership skills, clarifying your vision, and achieving greater personal fulfilment, coaching may be the ideal choice.

I'm not sure if I have the time for a coach. How can I make it work?

I understand the demands on your time as an executive or business owner. Many of my clients initially felt the same way. However, I’ve found that with a bit of planning and prioritization, coaching can be seamlessly integrated into even the busiest schedules.

Here are some strategies to help you make time for coaching:

  • Schedule it in: Treat coaching sessions like any other important meeting. Block out the time in your calendar and make it a non-negotiable commitment.
  • Leverage your commute: If you have a regular commute, consider using that time for coaching sessions. Hands-free devices and virtual platforms make it easy to connect while on the go.
  • Maximize your lunch break: Instead of rushing through lunch, dedicate an hour to a coaching session. It can be a refreshing way to recharge and refocus amidst a busy day.
  • Early mornings or evenings: If your daytime schedule is packed, consider early morning or evening sessions. Many clients find these times to be surprisingly productive and conducive to focused conversation.
  • Integrate it with other activities: If you have regular exercise routines or travel time, explore ways to combine those activities with coaching sessions. For example, you could listen to a recording of our session while on a walk or during your flight.

Remember, even small pockets of time can be valuable. Even 30 minutes of focused coach time can make a significant difference in your mindset and progress. The key is to be intentional about creating space for coaching and prioritizing your growth and development.

Ultimately, the time you invest with your coach will pay dividends in terms of increased productivity, improved decision-making, and greater personal fulfilment. It’s an investment in yourself and your future.

What if I'm not ready to commit to a long-term engagement?

I understand. It’s perfectly fine if you’re not ready to commit to a long-term coaching engagement just yet. Perhaps you’d like to experience the benefits of coaching first-hand before making a larger commitment, or maybe you have a specific, short-term challenge that you’d like support with.

That’s why I offer flexible options to accommodate different needs and preferences. In addition to my structured 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month programs, I also offer short-term engagements tailored to your specific needs. These shorter engagements allow you to experience coaching in a more focused way, addressing specific challenges or goals within a condensed timeframe.

Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with the support and guidance you need, in a way that feels comfortable and manageable for you.

Let’s discuss your individual circumstances and explore the options that best align with your current priorities and goals.
