I work with clients in many areas.  Listed below are some of the more common reasons people hire me as their coach.

Self-Management

Your greatest barrier to success may lie within yourself.  Insure your success.  Work with a coach.  Develop important self-management skills, including time management, organization, and healthy sources of energy.

You need certain skills for success in business and life.  Partner with a coach.  Develop your skills in team building, leadership, delegation, performance management, and innovation.

Do you want to speak more powerfully, communicate more clearly, and listen more effectively?  Work with a coach.Reduce the time it takes to develop strong communication skills.  Assess your communication strengths and weaknesses and learn new and better ways of communicating with others.

I work with you to raise your personal standards, strengthen your integrity, and help you live a balanced life in alignment with who you are. 

A strong personal foundation enables you to live a life free from struggle.  Struggle-free, you can turn your attention to enhancing your personal fulfillment.  Discover your purpose. Develop a personal mission and vision.  Build reserves and create a legacy.

I coach in person or by phone, one on one or in groups, during weekly appointments or on an as needed basis.  You and I establish a schedule that meets the your needs and addresses the work to be done. I typically coach in 30-45 minute phone sessions at pre-established weekly appointments. You may use the session to move along the personal, spiritual, and/or career path you have chosen, toward the vision you have established, or to address specific issues that may be going on for you.  I also coach groups, enabling members to use the support and wisdom of others to achieve their goals.  Because most of my coaching is done over the phone, I am able to work with clients from all over the world.

I also offer coaching services to organizations, and companies that want to use the power of coaching to create a stronger identity, develop their competitive advantage, strategize solving old and new problems and move in new directions.

When selecting a coach, find someone with whom you can relate.  You and your coach are partners collaborating in your achievement.  You want someone you can trust, someone who has the courage to challenge you and the compassion to support you.  I offer a free consultation or introductory session. This introductory session gives you the opportunity to accomplish three things: establish if my style fits your needs and style, if my approach works for you, and whether the partnership will achieve the results you desire. Coaches come in many styles, backgrounds and prices. Call me to set up an interview (225) 278-6888.  I recommend clients interview at least three coaches to find one you can work with successfully. On-line referral sources are at http://www.coachu.com/ and www.coachfederation.org listing biographical information for hundreds of coaches.

Most individual coaching runs between $200-$500 per month for one half-hour call per week. Executive coaching, just in time coaching, and group coaching rates vary depending on the time and type of expertise needed from the coach. That works out to an hourly rate of between $100-$150, with corporate coaching and special programs often running between $1,000-$15,000 per month.
