Personal Coaching for Writers:
Packages and Prices
Coaching is an investment you make in yourself
to keep writing and create the life you truly want. Each
of the following packages includes a Welcome Packet with
materials designed to get you off to a strong start. Throughout
coaching, you'll receive additional assessments and resources
based on your particular situation.
Coaching fees are often tax-deductible for
people who use coaching to improve business and professional
skills. Check with your accountant or CPA for details.
Note: All prices are in U.S. dollars. A coaching
month is four weeks (28 days); a four-month commitment is
required for each package. I offer a satisfaction
guarantee.

Success Coaching Gym

of prescheduling your sessions, you'll be able to talk
to your coach when you need her. No need to stick to a
time you arranged weeks before. Ideal for busy people
who don't fit neatly into regular schedules.
- Get twice as much time with your coach as in the Power
Plus package—up to an hour and a half each week, as many
as 6 hours per month. This is the package for clients
who want maximum return on their time and investment.
- Whatever is going on for you, whether you need 5 minutes
or an hour at a time, you have it.
- No need for additional laser coaching—you'll have plenty
of time with your coach, when it's convenient for you.
(In the highly unlikely event you need more time, we'll
work together to make an arrangement.)

months of coaching in advance receive a 17% discount (save
$300—$1485 for 3 months) PLUS two bonus 50-minute
sessions to be used any time within the three-month period—OR
they can gift the sessions to a friend.
Discovery Session
Before our first formal session, we'll have a 60-90 minute
Discovery Session to build the foundation for the work we're
about to begin. Using collaborative assessments, you'll
be able to step back and see where you are, then choose
the projects or goals that are your biggest priorities.
We'll also clarify the kinds of support you'd like from
this coaching relationship. The Discovery Session, which
is a one-time fee of $95 with the Express package, is free
if you choose either the Power or Success Coaching Gym package
or if you pay for three months of the Express package
in advance.
Commitment
If you're considering being coached, you want meaningful
results. Those results need your commitment. Most of the
projects we'll undertake together will require at least
four months to complete, so if you hire me to be your coaching
partner, you'll be making a commitment of at least four
months to yourself and to the coaching process.
Payments
You can pay by either credit card or electronic check through
PayPal, and convenient payment plans are available. Payments
must be made in full before coaching begins.
Duo or Group Coaching
Being coached alongside a motivated friend—or several
of them—is like having a wonderful mirror held before
you. As your friends are coached, you'll see your own journey
reflected and discover yourself. You'll also be sharing
the fun and joy of coaching. If you and your friends would
like group coaching, contact me for a deep discount.
Referrals
After coaching begins, I would greatly appreciate a testimonial
and two referrals from you. If you arrange for a friend
to begin coaching with me, you'll each receive 15% off during
every month you're both being coached.
Quarterly Coaching Checkup
Once a client has achieved their desired big goals, they
may wish to transition into "maintenance coaching"
to ensure ongoing progress. This program offers monthly
email, a one-hour session each quarter, and additional benefits
tailored for each client. Fee: $250 per 3-month cycle.
I Guarantee Your Satisfaction With Coaching
No one can guarantee the specific results a person will
get from coaching, but I do guarantee your satisfaction
with the coaching process. If at any time you're not content
with the direction of coaching, simply let me know—we'll
take the steps needed to return power to the coaching relationship.
Your openness about what you want for your life and from
coaching is vital to our continuing success.
If you feel our restructuring is not effective and let
me know that, and if at the end of our initial three months
together you've taken all the actions you agreed to, you've
followed through with a 100% commitment to your progress,
and you are not satisfied with how you were coached, I will
return the coaching fees you've paid to me. Bottom line:
I want you to be a happy and successful client.
