Questions people ask
How do I start?
Book a call. We will ask what you want to change, suggest a program and agree the format and fees in writing before any coaching starts.
Is coaching online?
Sessions run online or at an agreed location. Group programs and workshops can run on site for organisations.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on the program and format and are quoted and agreed in writing before coaching starts. Organisations receive a written proposal.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. When an employer funds coaching, they see attendance, progress and program-level themes, never what you say in a session.
Will coaching get me a job?
No coach can promise that. Coaching helps you decide, prepare and present your case well. Employers make hiring decisions.
