Whichever Choice You’ve Made, Here’s What Happens Next:

My basic coaching program runs for 12 one-hour sessions, with an introductory session that lasts about 90 minutes.

These sessions can be once per week for 12 weeks or often times my very busy clients prefer to meet once every two weeks. This allows them more time between our meetings to accomplish and process what we've worked on together.

Using the 5-Step Formula, you and I will set you on the right course toward a truly fulfilling and successful career, one that makes you spring out of bed in the morning and brings you a constant feeling of peace, prosperity and well-being.

After the 12 sessions, you may want to continue on. Sometimes people continue for a while on a reduced call schedule, perhaps once a month. I am flexible about meeting client needs as I am able.

I also am available for shorter term coaching that’s laser-focused on very specific topics that you may still have some lingering trouble with. You and I will make that determination as we progress.

It’s All About Taking Responsibility For Your Future

If you are willing to take responsibility, are prepared to make an investment in your future, and ready to do what’s needed to move ahead in your life, then you and I are probably a good match. Here are some typical questions that may be on your mind:

How do you coach me if I don't live near you?
Typically, coaching is conducted over the telephone, so living near each other is not an issue. I have coached a client as far away as Hong Kong and have never met him in person. You will be surprised how well it works! I was skeptical myself until I tried it. It is very effective.

What are the sessions like?
You phone me at our designated meeting time. Usually I begin the first one or two sessions with a set structure to get us working together and feeling comfortable. Then our conversations naturally take on a focus which is determined by your agenda and specifically what you want to work on both for that session and also the coaching program as a whole. Together we outline Action Steps for you to work on for the week or two until our next meeting. The focus is on you, what you want and getting you to what you want.

Do you accept anyone who wants coaching?
Not really. I need to believe that I can help you to achieve what you want. Additionally, I'm not the right coach for everyone and we need to be able to work well together. If these elements are not present, then I will do what I can to offer referrals or recommendations to other people or resources that might be better for you.

Do you do in-person sessions or only phone sessions?
If you live in the Portland area and prefer to meet in person, we can discuss it, just give me a call or email.

Are You Ready to Get Started?

Just send me an email or call me (503) 372-5097. I'm happy to have a conversation with you and help you determine if coaching is right for you.
