Coaching is designed to address issues the person being coached would like to consider. These could include personal issues (but are not limited to: career development, relationship enhancement, spiritual growth, lifestyle management, life balance, decision making, and achieving short-term or long-term goals) or ministry objectives and organizational development.  

What can I expect from my coaching visits?

In a typical coaching appointment there will be a predictable rhythm. The client is expected to set the agenda and will be asked what they wish to focus on when the visit begins. Throughout the conversation, your coach will ask questions intended to guide you to process your thoughts, gain clarity and develop a plan of action to address the issue.  Coaches generally won’t share their experiences, unless there is a block in generating options for addressing the issue at hand, and then they may offer examples of options for addressing a similar issue that they have seen used in their own or other client’s lives. Again, the objective is to help you “figure it out” from your own knowledge and experience base.  Each visit is 30 to 45 minutes in length, so come ready to work as the time is limited.   You will have a scheduled day and time that is just yours set aside each week with your coach. How you would like to conduct your coaching is up to you. The coaching visit can be completed in the office setting or via the phone.

What is the cost of coaching?

You can have an introductory visit with your coach at no charge. This is more of a ‘get to know ya’ meeting. It will allow you to ask some questions of the coach to help you determine if coaching is for you. Have your questions ready, this is a brief meeting, usually only 15 minutes, and if you decide to begin coaching, you will be given a welcome packet explaining how coaching is practiced through our office. Additionally you and your coach will decide on a coaching schedule that best meets your needs.  The first course of coaching is required to be pre-paid. This fee is $200 and affords you 4 sessions, generally one session a week. This fee is due upon receipt of your welcome packet.  The next course of 4 coaching session will be required to be paid on the last session of the current course.  Every course of coaching you sign up for will then be pre-paid and the amount for a 4 session course is $200.  Other possible fees are addressed in your coaching packet and are different for each individual coaching client.

What types of payments do you accept?

You may pay for coaching with cash, check or credit card. There is a return check fee $30, should a payment be made on an account with insufficient funds. If your payment does get returned for insufficient funds you will be put on a cash only payment option.

What if I can’t pay the full fee for coaching up front?

Coaching is a pre-paid service agreement and we do not currently allow for a pay as you go option.  If you feel you would like coaching but can’t afford it right now. It is suggested you work to save enough for 8 sessions or 2 course ($380) and pre pay for 2 courses. A great deal of work can be accomplished by you in this time if you are diligent in your follow through and your desire is true. If you feel you will need more than 2 courses of coaching, be sure to set aside the funds during those 2 courses to continue to afford services.
