Do you offer free consultations?

Absolutely! We start every coaching or consulting client with a free 30-minute consultation. During the consultation, we get all of our questions answered, explore what it would look like to work together and discuss the results you’re looking for. By the end of the call, we’ll have a good idea of whether or not we’re a fit to work together.

Why might I need business consulting services?

Business consulting services are a way to extend your team with an outside perspective on your leadership, systems, strategies, and growth. A consultant plays a different role in your business than a manager as they’re purely focused on problem-solving, creating effective solutions, and aiding in the implementation of those solutions. Our clients have hired us for: strategic planning and execution, improvement of their leadership team, development and growth of their business, and to transform their processes.

What is executive coaching, and how does it work?

“The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership. When you work with a coach, you set out on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.”

Coaching is a process of looking at your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify areas where you can create change. Coaching is most effective when you are ready to experience the rewarding discomfort of growth and are open to new ways of doing things. Individuals who take personal responsibility and are open to support will find coaching helps them to make focused changes in their work and personal lives.

What is the benefit of working with a certified executive coach?

Coaching is an unregulated industry, which means that anyone can call themselves a coach and charge for ‘coaching’ services. No training or certification is required to provide coaching.

You can choose a certified coach with confidence that the person you are hiring is a professional who takes the coaching craft seriously. ICF-certified coaches have been trained and completed at least 60 hours of coach-specific training. ICF-certified coaches are also held to the ICF code of ethics and additional education and experience requirements.

How do you price your services?

We pride ourselves on providing customized services that suit each client’s unique needs and budgets. That’s why we offer hourly rates for our services and set-fee packages with predetermined sessions and services. Our goal is to support your journey to success in a way that makes sense for you and your team.

What kind of results can I expect from working with your firm?

The results we create for our clients are best described as long-term ones! We’re all about helping our clients solve the problems right in front of them, but ultimately want our support to empower you and your team to solve problems in your business even when we’re not there! You can take a look at our client testimonial page to hear about our work in our clients' own words.

Do you use Lean Six Sigma in your consulting services?

We have 17 years of experience in Lean Six Sigma, so we use concepts and principles from Lean Six Sigma in our work. In addition to this expertise, we have over 20 years of professional experience to draw from. If you are looking for a consultant who can incorporate Lean Six Sigma into your company and deploy it, we have the experience to do that. Planning, training, and executing a Lean Management System that matches your needs is right up our alley!

How long do you usually work with executive coaching and consulting clients?

Executive coaching programs or session 'packages' typically last about six months. It takes this amount of time to make significant progress that the client can sustain after the coaching relationship ends. Many clients continue coaching after their initial 6-month program because they want to continue seeing improvement in their work and lives.

Consulting clients work with us for varying amounts of time depending on their needs, the size of their organization, and the complexity of their challenges. Consulting engagements range from a few weeks to a full year.

I’ve never tried coaching before. What if I don’t like it?

Trying something new, especially something that might take you out of your comfort zone, can be a little nerve-racking. We want all of our clients to feel confident moving forward with coaching. Which is why we always offer a free consultation to address all of your questions and concerns. For some clients who are particularly hesitant about coaching, a 30 min ‘test session’ is appropriate and we can make that decision together.

Is it confidential?

Yes. We take client confidentiality seriously and do not share personal or company information from your sessions.

Do you do pro bono work?

We allocate a certain amount of time to pro bono work each year. It is important to us that we uphold our value of generously serving the community. If you or your organization has limited resources for coaching or consulting work, we would love to help. Please contact us for more information.
