Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is for anyone looking to achieve personal or professional growth, improve performance, or overcome challenges. This includes individuals seeking career development, leaders wanting to enhance their leadership skills, teams aiming for better collaboration, or people working on personal goals or life transitions. It is beneficial for those who are open to feedback, self-improvement, and accountability in their journey toward success.

I have helped many clients who are “at a crossroads” in their careers. Speaking with someone else in a comfortable, safe space to explore new ideas or possibilities and start on a new path forward is always beneficial. Sometimes people need to talk with me as they face current work challenges about their boss, colleagues, or the employees they supervise. In the end, clients become far more confident in their decision-making. 

I guide individuals toward self-discovery and improvement because I staunchly believe in my client's brilliance!

Let’s be real. We all face personal challenges. Often spousal relationships and even challenges with our parents and siblings, along with balancing family time and commitments, sometimes lead to stress. This affects how we show up in the world, especially at work.

I will work right alongside you to unpack those personal challenges: Prioritize what’s really important, focus on what you value the most, and set an action plan to bring out your authentic self.

I am not a professional counselor or therapist. Typically, counselors may seek to unravel past experiences and help you address those issues. 

Mentors will give you advice. They have “been there, done that.” 

A life and leadership coach (also known as a personal and executive coach) recognizes that YOU have the solution, and the coach will guide you down a different path to explore a new range of possibilities. It is truly inspirational. 

We work on the premise that the client leads. The sessions begin with “What do you want to talk about today?”  It really just flows so naturally from there. What would you like to accomplish today; what obstacles are in the way; what does a plan look like; and how will you hold yourself accountable?

Coaching packages are tailored to meet the needs of individuals or agency/corporate groups and normally range from six to twelve sessions. After our initial consultation, we will generally meet for two 1-hour sessions per month for 3 to 6 months. 

Coaching may lead to exhilarating results for you!

While typical sessions range from $250-$500 per hour depending on the individual or corporate setting, I can definitely work with you to meet your needs.

I am based in Texas, and while in-person meetings are ideal, most video conference formats still allow us the opportunity to connect in a very meaningful way.
