The typical engagement includes both in-person and remote coaching. As we feel it is critical to establish trust, in-person sessions are highly encouraged as we hesitate to engage in a coaching relationship unless there is sincere commitment to the process and self-discovery and the willingness to engage in authentic, albeit sometimes uncomfortable discussions. And, these crucial conversations are best had in-person.
We can provide hourly or retained support. After an initial discussion to understand your needs for executive coaching support, we can determine the best path forward. Unless there is a very specific, short term deliverable, we typically ask for a minimum commitment of hours but then can shift to either retained or hourly support depending on which will better support the client.
There is no charge for an initial phone call to discuss the reasons you are exploring a partnership with an executive coach.
