 FAQs

  • Coaching is for leaders at all levels — founders, business owners, new managers, senior executives — who feel called to grow, lead with integrity, and bring more joy (not just results) into their work. We also partner with organizations wanting to support their managers through intentional, heart-led coaching.

  • Coaching is about helping you see clearly, make your own choices, and own your leadership. We don’t give “one-size-fits-all solutions.” Instead, we partner with you, ask the hard questions, reflect back what you might not see, and help you step into new ways of thinking and being. Mentoring or consulting often gives you the “answer”; coaching helps you find your own.

  • Because change happens over time, coaching is most effective when we work together over months, not weeks. Many clients begin with a 3- to 6-month commitment, with regular sessions (often biweekly or monthly). From there, we can extend or shift focus based on what’s working and what’s next.

  • Each session is a confidential, exploratory space. We typically:

    1. Revisit what’s on your mind (challenges, wins, alignment),

    2. Surface patterns or beliefs that are in the way,

    3. Experiment with new perspectives or practices,

    4. Define commitments or actions for the time until next session.
      You’ll leave with clarity, movement, and accountability — not homework you dread, but steps you believe in.

  • Coaching with us is always grounded and practical. We don’t do abstract theory for the sake of it. Every insight gets translated into real shifts in behavior, communication, and decision-making. Our goal is that you feel the difference in how you lead, not just talk about it.

  • We believe change isn’t just “feel good” — it should link to results you care about. Early on, we help you define what success means for you (team engagement, better delegation, clarity in decisions, etc.). Over time, we revisit those indicators, gather feedback, and assess what’s shifted. Often clients see improved trust, more alignment, and leaders who stretch beyond what they thought possible.

  • That’s totally okay — many clients begin from a place of uncertainty. The first few sessions are actually about listening, exploring, and co-creating a path forward. You don’t need to have it all figured out when you start.

  • For organizations, we help design coaching programs that respect your culture, strategy, and goals. We can coach individuals, run leader cohorts, embed accountability systems, or even partner with HR to ensure leaders are supported beyond the coaching sessions. The key is alignment — we become an extension of your leadership development, not an outside “vendor.”

  • Fit matters deeply. Coaching works best when there is curiosity, honesty, and willingness to shift. You’ll know if we’re a fit when you leave our first discovery conversation feeling seen, heard, and with a sense of possibility (not obligation). If it doesn’t feel right, that’s okay — we’ll say so.

  • Pricing depends on the scope (e.g. frequency of sessions, duration, organizational vs individual). In our discovery conversation, we’ll explore what’s needed and align on investment. We believe in fair, transparent partnerships — no hidden fees, no sales games.

  • You’re not alone. Many leaders try programs or training that felt good in the moment but didn’t carry into daily life. The difference here is emphasis on integration, accountability, and the work you do between sessions. We’ll challenge what doesn’t serve, help you lean into patterns you avoid, and build practices that can last beyond the coaching period.
