What is the process like?
So we’ve decided to work together. What is the actual day-to-day coaching experience like? What are time commitments? How does it all work?
Free Chemistry Session
The best way for us to see if we’re a good fit to work together is to dive right in with a free chemistry session.
The sessions are scheduled for 50 minutes. We spend the first 15 minutes with quick intros, a brief explanation of the process, and discussion about what you want to get out of coaching; then we spend about 30 minutes doing some coaching on a topic that matters to you; and finally, we leave a few minutes at the end for any further questions or discussion.

Setup Call
Once we’ve decided to work together, we hop on the phone for a few minutes and do all the transactional stuff: sign the contract, collect your credit card info, explain the scheduling system, and schedule your Discovery Session and your ongoing Regular Sessions
Discovery Session
To formally start things off, we do a “Discovery Session.” I give you some pre-work — the Wheel of Life and a custom Discovery Questionnaire — and we use those as a springboard for a fun, energetic get-to-know-you session. If we’re in the same city, we make it a long and languid experience, with some sort of activity, lunch, and a lot of powerful discussion. We use this time to orient ourselves, figure out where you are, and plan where you’re going.
Regular Sessions
After Discovery, we have Regular Sessions on the same day and time every week, usually three times per month. Sessions consist of a review of homework from the last session, and then whatever topic(s) you bring. You know far better than I do what you need to work on!
