Between 30 minutes and a lifetime. Everyone is different. Some people need one session to gain insight into a tough decision, and some seek longer coaching plans for ongoing adaptive challenges. We will work with you to create the right coaching engagement that best meets your needs. We offer single sessions, 3-month, 6-month, and customizable packages.

About 5 years and $250,000. Coaching is not “work therapy,” although we recognize that you’re a person first, and real people have bills and bosses and families and…life, and all of that stuff has to be integrated with who you are as a professional. Sometimes that involves looking back to notice and change patterns, but where therapy is intended to diagnose and treat, coaching is forward-looking and action oriented. We’re here to help you achieve your goals.

If you’re looking for someone to give you the answers and tell you what to do then you’re probably searching for a mentor or a consultant. We can offer those services as well, but that’s not coaching. If you’re looking for someone to help you clear away the noise and distraction so you can look at challenges in a new way, illuminate the best path at a tough crossroads, harness your creative energy, tap into your unique skills and talents, and take productive action, then you’re in the right place.

That really depends on what services you want. We don’t like surprises any more than you, so all of our coaching engagements are customized for your needs and have an agreed upon rate for agreed upon services before we begin. You can learn more about our prices in the Services tab, but the best way to know for sure is for us to chat so we can be sure we’re designing a package that meets your needs.

If you appreciate a good sense of humor (with some occasional light sarcasm) and someone who understands what it’s like to be the high achieving, busy professional in the middle of the doting-mother-devoted-daughter-sandwich generation, then Deann is probably the right coach for you. But it’s important that you know for sure so please contact us to schedule a complimentary coaching consultation so we can both see if we’re a good match.

You will wake up one morning 20 lbs. lighter without a care in the world and all of your gray hair and wrinkles will have disappeared. No? Oh. Well, are you gaining new insight into why certain colleagues drive you crazy and learning how to work with them more effectively? Have you learned how to get your boss to notice your accomplishments and advocate for what you need? Or have you figured out whether to ask for the promotion or look for a new job? Then coaching is working. If you’re looking at challenges differently, figuring out which path to take, and taking action to make a change in your life then coaching is working.

Ask. We’ll help you. We can even use fancy formatting with a logo and references to all kinds of research that proves the efficacy of coaching and how it will produce sustained and measurable benefits to your employer.

First, make sure that’s true. If you’re looking for someone to supervise a challenging employee or deliver tough feedback so you don’t have to… then we should probably start with some coaching for you. Give us a call. But if you’re looking for a meaningful way to invest in high-potential rising stars, established leaders facing new challenges, and other valued employees, then we’re here to help you explain how coaching is a gift for those who are worth the investment.
