This is personal work. Your coach learns your story, helps you make a plan and stays available for questions between sessions. No webinars, group classes or recorded courses.
Chicago-based. One-on-one. Built around you.
Good questions
Wondering how it works?
Start with a free 20-minute conversation about where you are, where you want to go and which program fits.
Is everything really one-on-one?
Yes. Every session is private and built around you. There are no group sessions or webinars.
I'm not comfortable networking. Is that a problem?
Not at all. You'll break it into small, practical steps and practice until reaching out feels more natural.
Can I contact my coach between sessions?
Yes. Both programs include email and text support for the length of your program.
Can a parent purchase a program?
Yes. A program can be purchased as a graduation gift; the coaching relationship remains confidential between coach and client.
