The first few sessions, including the free consultation, will help you define your goals. Subsequent sessions are structured around a set of activities, but are conversational and exploratory. You can choose a fixed number of sessions to accomplish a clearly defined goal or opt for a more open-ended arrangement.

Coaching sessions last an hour and are usually held virtually. I can occasionally meet Chicago-based fundraisers in person. Clients tend to like their sessions every other week to give them time to reflect and prepare, but can decide to meet weekly or monthly.

I have priced my coaching services to be affordable. I have one price for clients who are paying their own way and another for those whose organizations are paying. Either way, coaching provides excellent value in some ways superior to other types of professional development. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if coaching might be helpful to you.
