Frequently Asked Questions
Hiring a coach is a meaningful step, and it often begins with questions. You might be curious about what to expect, how the process works, or whether coaching is the right fit for you.
Below are answers to some of the most common questions professionals have when exploring coaching.
FAQ
What exactly does a coach do?
A coach is a thinking partner who helps you clarify your goals, uncover obstacles, and develop actionable strategies. Coaching is future-focused and growth-oriented—it’s about helping you move forward with purpose and confidence.
How is coaching different from therapy or mentoring?
Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go. Therapy often addresses past trauma and emotional healing. Mentoring typically involves advice from someone with experience in your field. Coaching is not about giving you answers—it’s about helping you find your own.
What can I expect in a typical session?
Each session is a focused conversation tailored to your goals. We’ll explore what matters most, challenge limiting beliefs, and co-create practical steps to move forward. Sessions often include reflection, powerful questions, and accountability.
How long does coaching usually last?
It depends on your goals. Some clients see meaningful shifts in a few sessions; others work with a coach for 3–6 months or longer. We’ll define the right cadence and duration for your needs.
What kind of results do people typically get?
Clients often report:
- Greater clarity and confidence
- Improved decision-making
- More meaningful leadership presence
- Career growth or transition readiness
- Reduced burnout and more energy
- Stronger communication and influence
How will I know if coaching is working?
You’ll notice changes in how you think, feel, and act. We’ll also establish clear goals and regularly check in on your progress. Expect “aha” moments, real-world wins, and even a few mindset shifts along the way.
