| Q. |
Who
are your typical clients? |
| A. |
Our
clients are the serious players, typically over
30, running the gambit of professional disciplines.
Some have a worldwide scope, while others are
owner / operators of small or start-up or professional
practices. They are in Fortune 100–1K
companies, mid-size companies, and small privately
held or family businesses. What our clients
typically have in common is:
- They presently hold or are preparing to step
into a challenging leadership role and want
an unbiased mentor to help them create a winning
game plan and develop the followship needed.
- They are an established leader and would
like an experienced unbiased professional
to partner with them on the results of a survey,
a personal assessment instrument or challenging
objectives that sit outside their company
hierarchy.
- They are time challenged and need a little
more structure to feel they are focused on
achieving multiple, important goals and
objectives.
- They are committed to life-long learning
and seek further clarity on the skills they
need to strengthen and the behavioral changes
they’ll need to make going forward or
to reach the next level.
- They seek a strategic and confidential approach
for changing roles or changing companies.

| Q. |
Why
do people hire Leadership & Career Consultants
or Coaches? |
| A. |
For
the same reason people engage a specialist in
any field. Specialists bring more experience,
skill, and knowledge to the task, and ultimately
their services are most cost effective. People
hire us because we have specialized skills and
they want to improve their leadership or management
skills, create a business
or organizational change, start a new business,
or make a career transition. We
work with the serious high-potential players—professionals
who want to…
- Strengthen their leadership skills
- Grow their businesses
- Make a personal change (such as career advancement)
- Reach higher rewards
- Reduce the stress in their life
- Build stronger professional relationships
- Experience greater satisfaction and a sense
of personal fulfillment.

| Q. |
How
much will your services and programs cost? |
| A. |
We
typically charge by the month or the event. Programs
include seminars, workshops and personalized coaching
services, in addition to customized programs. Our
individual coaching programs fees vary because no
two clients are exactly the same. During an initial
conversation we’ll design our alliance, clarify
your goals and requirements, and create a strategy
that is uniquely appropriate for you. All of our
programs are an investment in your future.
All of our clients have the ability to receive
extra mentoring and coaching between sessions
via email, voicemail and/or quick phone conversations
at no extra cost. Partnering with an
Executive Consultant or Coach is ultimately
an investment that you make in yourself. Once
we’ve
had a complimentary phone conversation we’ll
be able to give you a realistic figure.

| Q. |
What
is the usual length of time that clients work with
you? |
| A. |
The situations
that motivate individuals and companies to partner
with us are similar, yet they are uniquely influenced
by the individual, the degree of complexity of the
challenge, and the environments. Most non-seminar
or workshop clients begin with either a six-month
or nine-month commitment to the coaching process.
We also provide the option of engaging us in a consulting
or coaching capacity for a specific project or on
a just-in-time basis.
A typical agreement is two to three hours a
month for 6 - 12 months. More than half of our
clients elect to continue to partner with us,
or re- engage later to focus on new goals once
their initial objectives have been
met.
If for some reason our partnership isn’t
working for you, you can end it, there’s
no penalties and you don’t pay for any remaining
months in our agreement.
