My ideal partner is a high performer in midlife who has had a successful career and is now looking to manifest their next calling. These high performers include recovering founders, senior leaders looking for their next challenge, and aspiring creators and solopreneurs.

I look for partners who are self-aware, deeply curious, patient, and committed to the process. They are ready mentally and emotionally to do the inner and outer work required to navigate a transition. 

There are no long-term contracts, obligations, or large upfront payments. All I ask for is a mental and energetic commitment of at least three months. Most partners start to feel the positive effects of our sessions within the first month, but long-term progress largely depends on your commitment and attitude. My hope is this initial commitment blossoms into a successful long-term relationship.

I charge a monthly retainer rather than a "per session" fee. My average monthly rate is currently $2,500. That said, I never let money get in the way if there's a strong fit and desire to work together. The amount I charge is largely dependent upon your ability to pay. I believe it should be enough where you feel like you’re making a significant investment in yourself, but not so much that it causes stress and resentment. 

I purposefully keep the practice small for the time being. I usually work with 12-14 coaching partners at once.  That's why I view our initial conversations as a fit process rather than a sales process. And I expect for you to fully commit to the process and relationship.

I don't subscribe to a "one-sized fits all" or templatized approach to coaching. Context matters and is critical. While I draw on frameworks, case studies and other resources when necessary, I believe you are inherently wise and resourceful to determine the best path forward. My immediate goal is to help you develop novel perspectives and approaches rather than providing just advice or answers. I tailor the approach based on your situation, challenges, experiences, cultural norms, values and knowledge.

I typically meet with each "coaching partner" twice per month. You can also text or email me at your convenience. I also make myself available for "spot coaching" if you need support in between sessions. Remember, this is a partnership. You can think of me as an extension of your personal board of directors. I'm available when you need me, not just when we have time scheduled.

Coaching sessions typically last an hour, but sometimes go longer depending on your objectives and how much we're able to achieve in the allotted time.

I typically coach Monday through Thursday from 11am ET to 5pm ET. That said, I have flexibility if we need to work around your schedule, move things around or talk in a moments notice.

I send an email 48 hours in advance with prompts for you to contemplate and complete. This allows us to hit the ground running and make the most of our time together. Here are the questions I typically send in advance:

How would you rate last week from 1-10? Why?

What progress have you made since our last 1-1 session? Any big wins?

What have you learned?

What is your top priority right now? Why is it most important?

What are the 1-3 topics you would like to cover this week?

A typical session has four phases. The first phase is a quick check in. This provides each of us an opportunity to share how we're showing up energetically and emotionally. After our check ins, we spend five minutes highlighting any key events, milestones and/or learnings since our last session. We then dive into the main topic(s) which takes the bulk of our time. Finally, we spend the last five minutes summarizing any action items, next steps, and accountability structures.

I send an email with detailed notes typically 12-48 hours after a session. These notes are structured in three sections — follow ups, your reflections and my reflections. Follow ups include specific next steps and timing. Your reflections include any notable quotes and questions that you surfaced. My reflections often include general thoughts, reframes, and questions for reflection. I maintain a coaching log in Notion so you can access the notes on demand and track our progress.

There are countless ways you can leverage me when we're not together. As I indicated above, you can always text or email me at your convenience. I also share curated books, articles and resources depending on your learning objectives. Additionally, I review important documents such as OKRs, pitch decks, sensitive communications, and much more. If you're not sure, just ask. I strive to be an expansion of your inner circle and active member of your personal board of directors. I will always aim to have a 24 hour response time. That said, if you have an emergency or a time sensitive deadline, I always encourage you to text me.

This varies from person to person. A number of partners have felt and seen the benefits during our very first session. That said, I would expect to see outcomes and results in one or two months. We should always know what success looks like and whether we are moving closer towards whatever that might be.
