frequently asked questions about coaching ...

Why have a coach?
A coach asks questions, provides insight and shares skills to help you reach your goals, solve your problems and make the most out of you and your opportunities. The increased focus and accountability encourage you to accomplish more, more quickly than you will on your own.

How does coaching work?
Coaching is delivered during regular weekly sessions by telephone. The client and coach discuss what's going on in the client's life and specific things the client is working on. Homework is assigned and progress is tracked. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action.

Does coaching by telephone work?
Coaching by telephone is enormously successful. Most clients find they avoid visual distractions and focus more easily by telephone. It's convenient, time- and cost-effective and gives the client a wider choice of coaches from which to choose.

How much does coaching cost?
Fees for experienced, well-trained coaches typically range from $350 - $700 a month for individual coaching and from $175 - $275 a month for group coaching. Busy coaches prefer payment by credit card.

How do coaching and therapy differ?
Therapy generally focuses on emotional healing, causes of behavior and how the person got to where they are. In contrast, coaching looks ahead and focuses on action and removing obstacles to get the client where he or she wants to go. Some people work with a coach while they are in therapy.

How would I get started?
Most coaches offer a get-acquainted interview or a sample coaching session. Use the call to find out if you like the coach's personality and style. Also learn if the coach has the training and background to understand and work with your situation.

If you think having a coach will give you that boost you've been looking for, Coach Dana offers a free 20-minute get-acquainted interview. No sales pitch; just a chance for the both of you to get to know each other and clarify what you want from coaching. Request your sample session by e-mailing Dana.
