Is there research to show the ROI of coaching?

Coaching is a proven profession, with studies showing that business coaching for top executives at large companies yields 5-7x the company’s initial investment.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

If you’re not satisfied with your experience of this program, I will refund your money 100%.
I do require that you complete the entire purchased program(s) and all assignments before submitting a refund request. Why? Because experience has shown that when you go through the process, there can be ups and downs. However, my coaching programs are designed to get you through the “bumps” if you do all the work required. If you do, I believe you’ll make real progress towards achieving your professional goals.
So, if you do the work, and don’t see real progress or value, I'll refund your fees in full.
Discounts are also available for active-duty military, veterans, military dependents + long-term unemployed. Contact me for more information.

How do you "find your fit" with a Career Coach?

Here's a great article that explains what to consider when hiring a Coach: Find the Career Coach Who’s Right for You
Interview more than one coach--usually by phone. It's okay! Really. Coaches are used to being interviewed, and an introductory conversation like this is usually complimentary.
Discuss your goals for coaching and ask how the coach would specifically help you reach them.
Talk with the coach about what to do if there's an "exit strategy" if the things don't go well.
Make sure there's agreements up front on how to handle questions or issues if they arise.
Remember that coaching is a ongoing partnership, so be sure to speak up if you have concerns.
Then enjoy the experience and the results!
