You’re invited to a free coaching session — and turning it down would be a missed opportunity.

I’m sharing this because I’m always looking for the win/win — where we both gain value.

Let’s talk about three reasons why you can’t lose:

1. Worst-case scenario? You walk. If within ten minutes the session isn’t useful or aligned, you can end it—no questions asked. Your time is your most valuable asset, and honoring that is non-negotiable.
   
2. No strings. No pressure. You owe me nothing. There’s no follow-up obligation, no hidden agenda; just a conversation—nothing more.
   
3. You’re guaranteed perspective. Even if it’s not a breakthrough, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what you don’t need—or what’s next. That’s still progress. And progress, by definition, is a win.

1. You don’t know what you don’t see. Even high-performers have blind spots. A coach holds up a mirror—not to judge, but to reveal what’s been hiding in plain sight.
   
2. If you’ve never experienced real coaching before—and many people understandably confuse it with mentoring or consulting—this is a chance to explore something you’ve likely heard about, but may never have had the space to truly experience. You’ll likely walk away with practical insights, likely including one or two lightbulb moments that shift your trajectory—without any obligation to continue.
   
3. You’d give this opportunity to your team. Why not to yourself? Coaches are no longer a luxury for the few—they’re a strategic advantage for those willing to grow.

Yes, it’s unsolicited—and on the surface, it might seem like a risk for the coach.

And you’re right: even if I bring real value to the conversation, you may not be interested—or not interested right now. That’s completely fair.

I’ve been doing this work for over 18 years, so I know the landscape. Still, I continue to offer these sessions for three simple reasons:

1. Even without a next step, the exchange is almost always insightful and energizing—for both of us.
   
2. You might think of someone else—a colleague, a team member—who could benefit, now or later.
   
3. Not everything has to be transactional. Helping others, especially in moments of transition or challenge, is meaningful work. I do it because I believe in it.

Sometimes, one powerful conversation is all it takes to change how you lead, decide, or communicate.

Why not take it?

FAQs

What’s the agenda for an initial meeting?

There are a few directions we could take, depending on what would be most valuable for you:

1. A relaxed introduction—to get to know each other and see where the conversation leads.
2. A 40-minute diagnostic using ProjectAlignment to identify key priorities and opportunities for your personally or a project.
3. A focused discussion around a challenge or question you’d like some guidance on.
4. Or simply, whatever feels most useful to you right now.

Let me know what resonates—or we can decide together when we meet.

What would I need to prepare in advance?

Not much—just a few minutes of reflection can go a long way. You might consider:

• A quick thought about what you’d most like to walk away with from our conversation.
• If we’re doing the ProjectAlignment diagnostic, deciding what would most benefit you; a look into what’s going on personally or professionally (career change, new strategy, organizational changes, new priorities, etc.)
• And if there’s a specific challenge you’re navigating, feel free to bring a brief summary—or simply come ready to explore it together.

No formal prep required. Just show up as you are. We’ll shape the conversation around what matters most to you.

What if I enjoy the session but don’t want to continue—or want to pause?

That’s absolutely fine. There’s no pressure, no pitch, and no expectation beyond the conversation we’re having.

You’re always in the driver’s seat.
If you find value and want to continue, great—we can talk about what that might look like.
If now’s not the right time or you prefer to let things percolate, that’s equally valid.

Coaching should feel like a choice, not a commitment. I’m here when it’s useful—not to sell you on something you’re not ready for.

Will the session be recorded, and will I receive notes afterward?

Yes—sessions are recorded by default, mainly for your benefit. This allows me to provide a concise summary afterward, with direct links to specific moments in our conversation. That way, if something resonates or sparks action, you can jump right back to it—no note-taking required.

If you’d prefer not to be recorded, just let me know—your preferences always come first.

What do sessions cost if I decide to continue?

If you find value in our initial session and are curious about continuing, I offer a few flexible options—designed to fit different rhythms and levels of engagement.

I’m a mid-priced coach—positioned between entry-level and high-fee executive coaching—so the investment is meaningful but accessible for most professionals and organizations. I also take into account your role, whether you’re paying out of pocket, and whether you’re leading a startup. My aim is to make coaching accessible while honoring the value of the work.

Rather than listing fixed prices here, I prefer to have a quick conversation about what you’re looking for first. That way, I can share options that make sense for your context, goals, and pace.

There’s no pressure—just clarity, and a shared decision about what (if anything) makes sense from there.

How long is a session?

Sessions typically run 50 minutes. Occasionally we may wrap up a bit earlier or extend slightly if it serves the conversation. Extended or deep-dive sessions can also be arranged as needed.

How often do people typically meet with you?

It varies. The majority prefer weekly or biweekly sessions to build momentum, while others choose a monthly rhythm for reflection and recalibration. We’ll design a pace that works for your goals and bandwidth.

Is everything we discuss confidential?

Yes, completely. Our conversations are private and confidential. Nothing is shared without your explicit permission, unless legally required. This is a foundational part of the trust we build.

Do you also work with teams?

Yes, often. I regularly coach leadership teams, co-founders, and early-stage startup groups. This includes alignment work, decision-making dynamics, and building healthy team culture. If that’s something you’re exploring, we can talk about what that might look like.
