Coaching FAQs

How do I know if I’m ready for coaching?

The fact that you are here reading this right now is a clue. For some reason you’ve come here and you are considering that something needs to change. That’s the main thing that needs to happen first. The only other things you need are curiosity about yourself and willingness to take the steps that you decide to take.

How is coaching different from therapy?

There are some areas where coaching and therapy overlap. We may discuss your feelings, what’s been getting in the way of doing what you want, etc., and that can be similar to therapy. What’s different is that I am not diagnosing you in any way or determining that something about you needs fixing. My role is a thought partner, and my belief is that you have the answers. My job is to ask the questions and share tools that help you connect with your agency and power, and to support you to take steps that lead to what you really want. I’m like a personal trainer for your mind. No one has to have a personal trainer, but when you work with a trainer your workout is more intense and productive. Coaching helps you bring that same kind of focus to your whole life.

Why not just talk to my friends? How is coaching different from that?

My job is to ask you the questions your friends don’t ask. To help you notice what isn’t always obvious that might be holding you back, or to help you nurture that dream you are still frightened to bring into the light. At the same time, I don’t have any agenda for you. I am never pushing you toward one idea or choice or offering advice. The coaching relationship is unique in that way - you get focused judgement-free attention without any pressure. 

How much does coaching cost?

For individual coaching, a three month (six session) package is $1000. If economic difficulties are in the way of you seeking coaching, contact me and let’s discuss your situation and possible options.

How will we meet?

If you are in the New Orleans area, we can meet in person at my uptown home office or tropical backyard (all COVID protocols as needed) or meet under the oak trees at a nearby park. Whether you are in town or out of town, or anywhere in the world, we can also meet via Zoom, Skype or by phone. 

How often will we meet?

Most clients find that meeting every two weeks works well. Sometimes we meet more often at the beginning of coaching, and some clients who have been working with me for years meet with me monthly or every six weeks. 

What can I expect will be different about my life as a result of coaching?

You are in charge of your life, so you get full credit for any changes you make through life coaching! What you can expect is that you will gain clarity about your situation and your power to make change. You’ll lose fear, or you’ll decide to do things despite some fear. You’ll take steps that used to seem too hard or even impossible. You’ll show up differently in your relationships, and that will transform them. You’ll feel more and more like your most true self.

What are your credentials?

I’ve been coaching for over a decade. I have PCC (Professional Certified Coach) certification with the ICF (International Coaching Federation), the gold standard of coach certification. I am also a Master Certified Wayfinder Coach through Martha Beck Inc. I’m also an instructor and certification mentor for Martha Beck Wayfinder Coaching.
