frequently asked questions
Executive Coaching
What outcome should I expect?
Coaching is a self-directed process. What outcome would you like to see? We can set and clarify the goals as we start the relationship. I generally see people take away much more – insights, behavioural changes, happiness, and a sense of fulfilment – plenty of possibilities.
How many sessions do I have to commit to?
Let’s talk and find out a good package tailored to your needs.
What’s the recommended frequency?
A weekly frequency can be good at the beginning if you are new to coaching, to keep the reflective muscle warm – that is, if your schedule allows that. After 4-5 sessions we might sail into a reduced interval to cater to your developmental pace. But it is good not to pause for longer than 2 months. But in principle, we can meet at whatever frequency works best for you.
