FAQ about Coaching
Posted on October 25, 2012 by Caroline Oswald, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Some questions you might have about coaching
Why is your rate lower than others?
My rate is usually $120/hr per person and $160/hr for couples. I have temporarily reduced my rate by 50% because of the economic turndown we are experiencing. Money is tight for a lot of us. Coaching isn’t a luxury expense it is a necessity because it means hope when we are at our wits end. However, if you are able to pay my full rate please do so.
How much is this going to cost total?
Of course the determining factors would be how much coaching you require as each person requires different amounts. Some people will request coaching once a week, once a month, or even daily. I’m not out to rip you off so you can rest assured if I coach you for only 30 or 45 minutes I’m going to charge you for that amount of time not the full hour. You will not be charged for any time you spend on your own doing the actual work it takes to complete the assignments I give you. You will be charged for the time I invest in analyzing your data, researching information for you, and for the actual time it takes to provide you a response (i.e. writing you an email, discussing the matter with you on the phone).
How much time is this going to take?
The actual coaching may not take very long. What will take time is implementing the tools and approaches you have learned from my coaching. How much time you invest will definitely affect the progress and results you see in your life
What if I have more than one problem?
Then you are normal! Seriously everyone has many problems. Together you and I will determine which of your problems can be alleviated the most with coaching. Once we have narrowed it down then we can really get started.
Is a coach a therapist?
No. A coach may or may not have degrees and/or certifications of a therapist. Each coach approaches coaching in his or her own way. But the same applies when selecting a coach or a therapist – you want someone who is a good match for YOU.
Is my information private?
Yes everything you communicate with me is 100% confidential. I will never share it with anyone without your direct written permission.
How do I stop receiving coaching?
Coaching can continue as long as you need it. When you decide you no longer need it simply let me know and we can discontinue.
What happens when our coaching ends?
You will take full lead of your life armed with the tools you have acquired during your coaching experience. You may contact me any time you want to request further assistance. For the 3 months following your coaching I will contact you once a month just to check-in and see how you’re doing.
