What happens after you get in touch
You will get a reply within one business day. The first step is a free 30-minute conversation, held over Zoom or in person at the Marina del Rey office, and it is a working session rather than a sales call.
In it you describe what prompted you to look, and the honest job of that conversation is to establish whether coaching is the right instrument at all. Roughly one in five of these ends with a recommendation to do something else — a consultant, a mentor, or in some cases a licensed therapist. That is a useful outcome, not a failed one.
What to bring
Nothing prepared. It helps to have thought about one specific situation rather than a general sense that things could be better, because specifics are where coaching gets traction. The most useful version is a recent moment that did not go the way you wanted.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly will I hear back?
Within one business day. If it is urgent, say so in the message and it will be prioritized.
Is the first session really free?
Yes, 30 minutes, with no obligation. It is a real conversation about your situation rather than a pitch, and it ends with a straight answer about whether coaching fits.
Do I need to know what I want to work on?
No. Arriving with a vague sense that something is not working is normal, and narrowing it is part of what the first session does. One specific recent example helps more than a prepared summary.
Can my company pay for this?
Frequently they will, particularly where it is framed as retention or development for a leader they want to keep. Ask about the individual rate first — across the industry, company-funded engagements are commonly priced well above what an individual pays directly.
