Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if you are the right coach for me? 

​

If you like unfiltered, unbiased, powerful questions to help turn you around to look at what’s behind you, around you, right in front of you, then I’m your coach.  I pride myself on helping others expand their awareness and see what choices they have.  I am not going to tell you what to do, give outright advice.

​

​

I’ve never been coached before, how hard is it?

​

Do you want a cheerleader or challenger?  You decide up front.  In the first free 30 minute consultation we will discuss coaching in more detail, I can answer any specific questions not answered here.  My curiosity is infused with playfulness.  This work is important but we don't have to be serious – we will laugh and have fun along the way.

​

​

Do I have to actually ‘do’ anything?  Or do we simply chat?

​

While our sessions are conversational, this is not the opportunity to offload, rant, or chit-chat.  The best way to move toward your goal is through deliberate and focused action.  I have a toolbox of assessments, activities, books, articles, videos, exercises.  At the end of each session, together, we will work through what actions you will take to move a step closer towards your goals.

​

What if I don’t have answers to all the questions or know what to say?

 

That’s okay, that’s my job.  I have many ways to help you expand your awareness, and it might be my question needs a different question.  That is my skill, I will work with you where you are at.  There is no judgement, no right or wrong.  I will help you navigate through your own thinking.

​

​

What sort of person do you work with, am I right?

 

My experience lends itself to small business owners and executives, or those on the executive pathway, in a corporate environment.  The people I connect with the best are those who have a growth mindset, are ambitious and evolving, looking for input and impetus to take you forward.   If you think I am the right fit for you and have a different background from this, I'd still love to chat.  Reach out for a free 30 minute consultation as I do work with a diverse range of people, ages and experiences. 

​

​

I do not live in Australia, will you still be my coach?

​

Absolutely, I work with clients in Australia, New Zealand and the US.  My primary communication tool is video conference using Microsoft Teams.  I am flexible on times we meet, and can accommodate most time zones (within reason).

​

​

Can we meet in person?

 

I love meeting clients face to face.  I can meet in three locations in greater Sydney, Australia.  (1) Sydney CBD (2) Parramatta CBD and (3) within the Blue Mountains National Park.

What are your qualifications?
