What we do together

Home

Coaching basically looks like this:

The first meeting will cost you a cuppa something, chocolate chai latte or tea or maybe a gluten-free pastry.

At our initial meeting, I will listen to you, ask some questions and we will start to get to know each other. We will talk about what you want and how coaching will help. Together we will determine if we want to continue to meet. If we decide yes, then we make agreements and write them down. By following through with our agreements, we will learn to trust each other and build a relationship you can rely on.

Now, it might be that you only need an occasional session in order to sort through a specific issue. Generally, I like to meet once a week for at least a month, in order to establish a foundation, and to build momentum. At that point you will know whether you want to meet that often or every other week or once a month.

I collect my fees up front, before we schedule the next session. I suggest you do the same with your customers. 24 hours notice is requested for cancellations and schedule changes.

After our initial meeting, sessions are $40. an hour, packages of four are $140. which works out to be $35. each. That includes brief check-ins and email responses to your 'todo update.' Phone check-ins are prorated at the $40. fee, starting $10. and measured in 15 minute increments.

We will spend some time creating structures to support your goals. In three months you may have that down. Sometimes a coach is like a tool you use and then you put away. Some times you come across another level of growth, with new goals and obstacles and you might need to pull the tool box back out.

I will be your coach until you meet your goal and/or as long as it is working. By that I mean that if you are not making progress, then we need to stop. If you are not fulfilling your agreements with me, your commitments to your self, then its not a healthy relationship. I expect that to be rare. I expect to see you flourish.

I will pay attention, listen and ask questions to learn about you. What I want to know about you relates to your personal growth and evolution, your dreams, aspirations, habits, beliefs - what makes you happy, what keeps you from being happy. I will ask you for your goals and I will hold you accountable for them. I will make suggestions of things for you to do. You can agree to do them as I suggest, or say no, or do them differently. We will follow up and observe the results.

After we have met once a week for a month, when we have decided that we have a good working relationship, then I will ask you to commit to an additional mindfulness training consisting of classes once a week for four weeks. There is no set fee for that. Mindfulness or Insight Meditation training is offered on a dana or donation basis. That practice is the foundation of my approach to coaching and I am confident that you will gain tremendous and lasting benefit from it and I know that our work together will progress exponentially from it.

This relationship is different from a friendship in that the focus is on you and your process and you are paying me for my presence, my commitment to you, my reflections back to you, for my input. I will talk about my experience and what I have learned and what I believe, as it is relevant to you, as it relates to your personal growth and evolution.

For instance, working with strippers is a part of my personal mission. My overarching purpose on this planet is to participate in the betterment of consciousness. It is to assist in raising awareness, increase happiness, increase the peace. It occurs on an energetic level and a material level. Dancers who work in this energy business, you all, are key people in this ecosystem. In my world-view, your individual happiness and fulfillment have wide spread ripple effect in the cosmos.
