Frequently Asked Questions
What is and is not professional coaching?
Professional coaching is a dynamic, evolving, and thought-provoking process in which the client and coach partner to maximize the client’s personal and professional potential. It focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes, and catalyzing personal transformation. A fundamental difference between professional coaching and other mental health professions is that coaches honor the client as already creative, resourceful, and whole.
With this as their foundation, coaches motivate and inspire personal and professional success, support clients in their self-discovery, provide active listening and reflection to enhance the client’s clarity, draw forth client-generated solutions and strategies, and hold clients accountable for their commitments.
As coaches, we refrain from diagnosing, fixing, prescribing medications, imposing our own agendas about what is best for clients, giving personal or professional advice, working directly to process past wounds or extreme traumas, or positioning ourselves as experts in our clients’ lives.
Why do people hire coaches?
Professionals and individuals hire coaches because they desire to thrive in new and profound ways. Some clients are undergoing a period of great transition—such as a divorce, a career change, or a move—and need additional expert, caring support.
Others feel mostly content in their lives but are stuck in one way or another. For example, they may love their work but struggle in relationships, or vice versa; they may cherish their home life but feel unfulfilled in their career. Still others experience a deep longing to become more and simply don’t know how to get there.
The common thread among those who seek coaching is a strong desire and determination to elevate their lives or careers to the next level and achieve greater heights.
Why should I hire you?
Before I ever considered coaching others, I experienced the very same intensive process firsthand with my coach Marianne Weidlein. I know the uncertainty of starting a business with zero clients. I also know the challenge of feeling great possibility and purpose within me but not knowing how to realize it.
I’m deeply passionate about witnessing brilliance emerge—and I know how to step aside so yours can shine. I love what I do, in part because this approach transformed my own life completely. For more details on my formal training, please ask during our Free Consultation.
Do you offer discounts?
Don’t let financial concerns hold you back from the life you deserve. If you’re facing hardship, please reach out—I’m happy to discuss options.
I offer a limited number of scholarships to qualifying clients on a first-come, first-served basis. My rates reflect the realities of supporting my family in a high-cost area, but the value lies in results: coaching with me delivers transformation in months, not years. And with my guarantee—if you’re not having big breakthroughs after three sessions, you will receive a refund for the remaining sessions in your program.
Think of this as a strategic investment in your freedom and success. I also provide flexible payment plans at no extra cost upon request—and for business owners, this qualifies as a fully deductible expense.
Your future is worth it.
Why do you mostly work over the phone?
Genuine connection arises from the quality of presence, not the physical location of the people involved. In fact, most clients report feeling more connected over the phone.
Client and coach meet in the present moment—voice to voice—free from visible distractions. This clarity allows clients to focus deeply, rapidly accessing their own inner wisdom. That introspective process is the foundation of true transformation, and it thrives in a safe, quiet, familiar environment.
My mentor Marianne, with 25 years of experience in various coaching capacities, found phone sessions far superior to in-person ones. In the privacy of one’s own home, there is solitude, comfort, and ease—essential conditions for relaxation and openness, the gateways to profound change.
There’s no rushing to appointments, battling traffic, or exposing vulnerability in someone else’s space. Phone coaching also makes it possible to work with clients across the country—or the world.
Why is Vertical Reflective Questioning so effective?
Vertical Reflective Questioning is a powerful, transformative tool that grants clients complete freedom to uncover their deepest needs and personal truth. It guides them straight to the root cause of their limitations—and reveals exactly how those patterns sabotage their success.
With this clarity, clients instantly see how the limitation ripples through their life and goals, making it effortless to identify the precise shifts they’re ready to embrace. Once implemented, these changes ignite renewal and propel them forward with unprecedented momentum. Learn more about this awesome process here.
