Question 1

What is Executive Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Executive coaching is a one-on-one partnership where you have a thinking partner to help you work through whatever's in front of you. That might be a transition, a difficult team dynamic, feedback you're not sure what to do with, or just the feeling that something's not working the way it used to. We figure out what's going on and what to do about it together.

Question 2

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Coaching tends to be a good fit if you're in the middle of something you can't quite figure out on your own, whether that's a transition, a challenge with your team, or just a sense that something needs to shift. If you're not sure, book a call. We'll talk through what's going on and you'll get a feel for whether it would be helpful.

Question 3

How long are the coaching sessions?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are usually 45 to 60 minutes, depending on what we're working through.

Question 4

Is coaching only for executives and leaders or can others benefit too?

Accepted Answer

I work primarily with senior leaders navigating transitions, but I'm open to conversations with anyone who thinks coaching might help. If you're not sure whether it's the right fit, reach out and we can talk it through.

Question 5

How often will I have coaching sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most clients meet weekly or every other week, but we figure out a rhythm that works for you.

Question 6

Can coaching be done virtually?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of my clients meet with me virtually over video or phone.

Question 7

Why can’t I just use AI for  this?

Accepted Answer

AI can give you frameworks and options and help you think through decisions. I use it myself sometimes. But coaching is about helping you see something you're not seeing, and that requires someone paying attention to you over time—the way you hesitate before certain topics, the thing you keep circling back to, the gap between what you say and what you do. That kind of attention takes a real relationship. It takes trust built over time, honest conversation, and someone who genuinely cares whether you follow through. I care about the progress you make, the insights you surface, and the clarity you walk away with. That's a richer experience than any machine can offer.

Question 8

How long do coaching engagements typically last?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you're working through. Some clients work with me for a few months during a specific transition. Others continue longer because they find it valuable to have a thinking partner as things evolve. We can talk about what makes sense for you.

Question 9

What happens in a discovery call?

Accepted Answer

We talk about what's going on for you and what you're hoping to get out of coaching. It's a conversation, not a sales pitch. By the end, you'll have a sense of whether working together would be helpful.

Question 10

How is coaching different from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy often focuses on healing and understanding the past. Coaching is more focused on the present and future—what's in front of you now and how to move forward. I'm not a therapist, and coaching isn't a substitute for therapy if that's what you need.
