And don’t worry – if you’re not sure about what you want from coaching, we can figure that out together! I’ll share my approach to coaching and what you can expect from me as your coach, and I’ll answer your questions about me and about coaching.

Coaching is a journey of discovery, reflection and learning. The vast majority of the time, my clients and I work together 3 to 6 months. However, I have worked with a client for a single session to navigate a very specific challenge or opportunity.

Discovery sessions are always free. Coaching engagement costs are generally presented as a packaged engagement with its specific included services. I do offer options for payment.

Coaching sessions can be conducted in-person (where practical), via teleconference, by telephone (domestic calls only), or a combination of modalities. Between scheduled coaching sessions, clients can reach me via email and text as needed.

No. Though there are some parliamentarians who are also lawyers, most parliamentarians are not, and only lawyers can provide you with legal advice.
