Individual Coaching
“I have worked with Em for over 5 years as I conceived of and launched my business. Their support in locating inspiration, desires, fears, talents, and needs for collaboration and interdependence have been crucial to both my business' success and my well being in the process. I appreciate their Co-Active coaching, making it feel like we are really standing shoulder to shoulder looking at challenges, instead of them holding the secret answers and I have to guess at them.” - A.K.
Are you launching a business? Redesigning your relationship with yourself? Figuring out how to support your communities? Something else entirely?
Sounds like you’ve got stuff to coach about.
Approach
Em’s coaching style draws from a blend of Co-Active tools and principles, and combines it with emotionally honest, here-and-now, embodiment-oriented methodologies, such as gestalt and somatic practices. Coaching can be incredibly clear and pragmatic; it can also be fabulously non-linear, playful, and creative. As a person-centered practice, it is a collaboratively-powered process, and varies significantly from one client to the next.
Logistics
Coaching begins with a Connection Call to discern whether it’s a good fit for both the coach and the client. If it is, then we have a Discovery Session (1.75 hrs) to design the coaching alliance, discuss relevant elements of the client’s context, ascertain our focus areas, and begin to identify tools for our work together. After that, the client comes to each session (usually at a twice-monthly cadence) with a topic to work on, and usually leaves each session with some field work to apply what was worked on. Clients develop a system of accountability that serves and supports them in-between sessions.
Coaching sessions are 50 minutes long, include a follow-up email and some texting access, and cost $250/session. Em offers bundled discounted packages of various sizes (5, 10 or 20 sessions) and payment plans to increase accessibilty. If a client is interested in working together but pricing is a barrier, Em provides discernment tools re: sliding scale/tiered compensation and is available to engage in conversations about sustainable, growth-centered compensation.
