Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We'll have a video discussion to fully understand the student's needs. If I can help, then we discuss and agree on specific goals, and a plan of action.
The coaching is typically online as most students are too far away. Some students receive in-person coaching.
We will work with whatever projects/assignments the student wants to use. If there are none, I'm happy to provide them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a state and national champion in multiple countries in multiple categories of competitive speaking/debating. I have a 30-year career as a business executive and a professional coach.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$50 / hour for each hour of direct coaching or coaching preparation is the normal rate.

My very first teaching assignment was during college. I was asked by my high school AP English teacher to come back and teach her AP English class during summer school. From there, I entered a segment of business that involved training/coaching. I have been involved in some form of training/education for 40 years.
