How does it work?
You'll actually start the process yourself, by picking up the phone for the first communication at no charge and when we've completed our first session, we can make the arrangement based on your schedule and method sessions. No two people are alike and addressing their concern is solely on an individual basis, as is their relationship with their coach.

Who are your clients?
Basically, people ready to make changes in their life, and/or to really go for what they want. My clients are normally successful in many areas of their life, but there might be one or two that are not up to scratch. Or - they are ready for more self-awareness - can you ever be too aware?

My clients are both men and women, normally in the 35 to 60 age range; mainly professionals, the famous or talented, CEO's, senior executives or business owners; most all are looking to create a bigger game to play or to get more balance in their life. To date my clients have been based in the US, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Japan.

What does coaching provide?
This is different for each client. Most often I hear words like: challenge, accountability, direction, inspiration, focus, sounding board, support and validation. Some people want someone else to share their wins with. Others request a firm kick in the butt. But the bottom line is, we're normally after a specific result that makes a ~difference~ in your life. And above all - let's have fun with it!

Do you have any specialties?
I mostly work with:
a) Individuals as their personal life coach and to assist them in solving problems
b) Entrepreneurs wanting to improve, or start, their own small business
c) People who want more focus in their life
d) People, who by every appearance, seem like they have it made because of their life status/style by being famous, sports figures, CEOs, business owners or came into some wealth that has changed their life in a direction they're not happy with, and
e) Executives and senior managers ready to make changes in their business or personal life.

Who are you?
I'm a coach: passionate about personal development and in awe of the courage my clients continually draw upon to step beyond their comfort zones. I'm also a excited entrepreneur who loves creating businesses - with a particular passion for excellent marketing, e-marketing, creative products/services, fun, and massive leverage.

In the past - I've been a corporate manager, had ownership in two profitable businesses, and have played with many hobbies from golf, golf, and more golf. Now I live and coach from Cincinnati, OH, and visit many parts of the world for full week sessions. I founded Dealing with Success, and in 2005 I received my Professional Coach certification from The Spencer Institute. I'm also a member in ICF, ACCPOW, International Association of Coaches and many others that benefit my continued education in the coaching services.

How long would we work together?
Some people are done in one day to three months, and others are looking for one-to-two year partnerships. I've been working with one of my favorite clients (and now friend) for over two years. We'll normally start with a three month time frame. I simply suggest my clients stay with me as long as they love the coaching, and the results!

What are your fees?
Fees are $120.00 per hour with a minimum of five hours to start the process. Daily and weekly rates are listed on the funding page.

Note: Once we've completed the initial coaching term, you may elect to roll over for another term, or we'll simply 'shake hands' and stay in touch; I love hearing from my past clients. You also then have the option to reduce the level of coaching to twice a month for maintenance. I work with a complete understanding of a clients needs and financial environment.

What if I decide not to finish the coaching term?
If at some point during the coaching you're not getting value, we'll both know it. You may cease coaching at any time. There is no contract and I only want to help if the help is of benefit to you. Unless I've traveled to your location all sessions are built on five hours and prepaid with no refund.

Can I get an even better feel for who you are, and the type of coaching, first?
Sure! The first contact by e-mail or phone is at no charge. Under the tab titled Funding note that hourly rates are $120.00 for any communication thereafter. Take your pick and start with an e-mail here.

Can I read testimonials or success stories?
Yes. You can hear from some of the wonderful people I've worked with here.

Do you do any pro-bono coaching or charity work?
Actually, yes. But not often enough and it's based on the individual's needs.

What kinds of people hire life coaches? And what do they work on?
Coaching is for people like you! It is for people who are "on a roll" and they may simply appreciate a neutral sounding board who will give them straight-up honest feedback and on-going support, as well as people who are "stuck" and just need a guide to help cultivate the tools necessary for them to evolve into a life filled with serenity, happiness and organization. In coaching, you learn to "mine" your life for golden possibilities that are the stepping-stones to your shining future. Life coaches work with people in a variety of ways. You will benefit from the coaching process if you want to:

• Design life intentions that include both your business and personal goals.
• Build your personal integrity and learning to base all decisions on your values.
• Make meaningful personal changes that reduce stress and simplify your life.
• Free up energy and other resources to attract what you want for your life now.
• Enhance the quality of your communication and relationships.
• Identify your business or personal skill sets that need polishing.
• Work through a career or life transition.
• Achieve better work/life balance.
• Gain clarity, focus and direction.

How do coaching sessions work?
Every coaching session is focused directly on you - your needs, your goals, your wins, your aspirations, and your life. You set the agenda based on what is most important to you and we work together on your plans and goals. As your life coach, I support you throughout your journey, collaborating with you in a fun, organized fashion as we identify your "next best steps" along your path to greater fulfillment. I am 100% invested in your success and well-being. That is my top priority, and I encourage you to make use of all that I have to offer, as a resource, and as a friend. Coaching sessions are conducted over the phone and last approximately 45 minutes. Generally, I work with clients weekly at a pre-scheduled time. You may choose the number of sessions per month based on what is right for you. Between scheduled sessions, you are free to contact me by email or brief phone calls if you have questions or when you have fantastic news to share or need extra support.
