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.
Express Package
One-on-one coaching—private sessions with your own
coach.
3 scheduled half-hour sessions per month. Ideal for people
whose funds are tight and who are self-starters.

when you need it.
Access to pertinent tools and assessments and my network
of contacts and resources.
45% discount on the essential one-hour Discovery Session
($95 instead of $175)**.

for as long as you like.

to pay for three months of coaching up front receive a 10%
discount ($675 for 3 months) and their Discovery
Session is free.
Power Package

coach.
4 scheduled 40-minute sessions per month. This package
accelerates your momentum for dramatic impact on your goals.
Free one-hour Discovery Session.

a personal connection and share wins or get ideas immediately,
instead of having to wait for our next coaching session.

network of contacts and resources.

coaching receive a 16% discount ($995 for 3 months—save
almost $200) PLUS a bonus 40-minute session to be used any
time within the three-month period.
Success Coaching Gym
One-on-one coaching—private sessions with your own
coach.
Works like a regular gym—at YOUR convenience. Instead
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.)
Unlimited between-session email support.
Access to pertinent tools and assessments as well as my
network of contacts and resources.
Free90-minute Discovery Session.
Initial 4-month commitment, then we'll work month-to-month
for as long as you like.
$595 per month.
Success Coaching Gym clients who elect to pay for three
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.
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever
aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for
strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on the
shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
-Alan Alda
The greater danger for most of us
is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that
it is too low and we reach it.
-Michaelangelo
The moment that one definitely commits
one's self, the Providence moves too.
-Goethe
Those who make it happen will tell
you it wasn't easy. Those who think it should be easy won't
make it happen.
-Will Craig
A vision without action is just a
dream; an action without vision just passes time; a vision
with an action changes the world.
-Nelson Mandela
What lies behind us and what lies
before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within
us.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I have done my best." That is about
all the philosophy of living that one needs.
