How it works
Coaching can be a short or a long-term partnership depending on the nature of the request. The duration of the process and pace of the meetings will be determined by your coaching objectives as well as any constraints you may have. The first meeting is always free of charge and is used to get to know one another and to clarify what you’re looking for. It is an opportunity for you to freely determine whether this coaching process and partnership is what you need. Objectives will then be agreed and re-evaluated regularly.
