Areas of coaching I deal with
Fees
Variable personal and corporate rates:
My fees for individual coaching are significantly reduced from my corporate rate to enable broader access to coaching. Having been privileged in my own developmental opportunities I wish to give something back to individuals who do not have access to this type of opportunity within their working environments.
Free first meeting:
I offer a free introductory session where we discuss your challenges and goals. This meeting will provide you with a real life experience of working with me so that you are able to confidently decide to proceed or not.
Discounted fees for block payment:
I offer both session by session rates and discounted block payments to suit your needs.
Please make contact for further information
Venue to meet your needs:
I seek as far as possible to find a venue that works for us both and therefore work from a variety of venues.
