Life Coaching FAQ

How is Life Coaching different from...

...Therapy? Life Coaching is not traditional therapy. Clients don't need to uncover or recover from the past or assume there is a problem to be resolved.

...Sports Coaching? Life Coaching encompasses several principles from sports coaching like teamwork, going for the goal and being your best. But unlike sports coaching, life coaching is not about being in competition with others. The focus is on enhancing the client's skills and life.

...Consulting? A consultant evaluates a situation, makes recommendations and then exits. A Life Coach stays with the client to assist in implementing new skills, changes and goals.

...A Best Friend? A best friend is truly a gift. But is your best friend a trained professional who can help you discover and listen to your innermost voice?

How does Life Coaching with Jim work?

Life Coaching services with Jim take place over at least a three-month period. Hour long coaching sessions usually occur via the phone for varying monthly frequencies-2,3 or 4 times a month. Jim will also provide you with support via email between the regularly scheduled coaching sessions.

• You, with Jim's professional help, define goals for your career, relationships and life that really matter to you--goals that naturally pull you rather than goals that require you to push yourself (internal vs. external goals)
• You receive support and structure in reaching and attaining those goals
• You develop new skills and tools that translate into greater success
• You, with Jim's guidance, remain focused on your goals to more quickly produce desired results
• You do far more than you could have on your own

How much do Jim's Life Coaching services cost?

It's a fact that most people spend more on maintaining their cars each year than they do on personal growth and development. Consider the idea that you are your own best investment.

Jim's fees begin at $100 per hour with a standard monthly package of $175 for 2 one-hour phone sessions and unlimited email for a minimum of 3 months. While much of Jim's work as a Life Coach is done by phone or email, other arrangements can be negotiated for your benefit.
