How it works

In private coaching, we work together over 3 months with a bit of flexibility, meeting every other week via video call or phone calls. 

Before our first call after you sign up for a coaching package, which is 90 minutes, I will share my Discovery Questionnaire for you to read, review, and answer to the best of your ability. It will not only help us get to know one another, but it will also jumpstart the coaching experience with questions to help you go deep from the beginning. 

During our Discovery call, we will discuss what came up in your Discovery Questionnaire and create the goals for our work together. 

In our following 5 sessions which will be 1 hour, we will work towards your goals using a combination of transformational coaching methodologies, strength-based frameworks, and accountability mechanisms to support you with living your most fulfilling life while making your biggest positive impact in the world. 

The cost of coaching can range from $1000 per session to $150 per session.

As an ICF-certified Transformational Coach with a focus on Leadership Development for mid-career and senior-level folks in social impact and 6+ years of experience with coaching, I sit somewhere in the middle with my 2025 pricing at $3600 for 6 sessions over 3 months. I'm happy to offer payment plans up to 4 months for clients paying out-of-pocket who require assistance and encourage new clients to reflect on their financial capacity before we meet. I ask that clients paying with employer funds pay in the fewest installments possible. Note that payment installment plans are automatically withdrawn on the same date as your initial payment each month. 

Keep these things in mind:

✅ Consider asking your current employer to cover or contribute to the cost of coaching. 

Many employers are delighted to invest in leadership coaching for employees! Here's a template you can use to request funding from your employer.

✅ What is it worth to you to increase your fulfillment, joy, and alignment? This investment is for your LIFE. If you haven't experienced having someone in your corner holding you accountable to your own dreams, give it a try by booking a Clarity Call offered at a reduced cost from coaching package sessions.

My background is in nonprofits, corporate social impact, innovation and strategy, and community building. I work exclusively with purpose-driven people. Whether you're already doing work that makes a positive impact in the world, or you're looking to make a career change, I specifically support you in making your journey to making your biggest positive impact in the world while living your most fulfilling life.

Another core part of my approach is that diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging serve as the backdrop of our work together. My certification is from Leadership That Works' Coaching for Transformation program which was led by community organizers and social justice activists. I am here to serve those who are committed to making organizations, communities, and world a more equitable and just place. 

At the surface level, coaching can provide accountability to support you through life and job transitions with greater ease, resources, and hands-on support. 

But ideally, we'll go much deeper than that. Most clients who work with me finish our 3 months working together reporting:

• Significantly increased confidence
• The ability to communicate needs, values, and purpose like a leader
• Established thought leadership and professional network growth
• A sense of being awake, energized, and excited about your life and career
• A renewed sense of possibility through greater alignment with values and goals

Clients who are seeking career change frequently also leave our work with more senior, much higher paying opportunities and the confidence to negotiate salary knowing your (immense!) worth.

My coaching principles were passed down from my teachers at Leadership That Works (where I was certified in LA 2018/19) who now lead the incredible Coaching for Healing, Justice, and Liberation Coaching certification program.

• People are whole and simultaneously moving toward greater wholeness.
• By honoring the full diversity of experiences, we deepen awareness.
• People are inherently resourceful and wise.
• People have the freedom to choose how they respond.
• Much more is possible than any of us can currently imagine.

In addition to exclusively coaching the good troublemakers of the world, I currently give recurring monthly donations to 2 organizations:

1. The Loveland Foundation: Loveland Foundation is committed to showing up for communities of color in unique and powerful ways, with a particular focus on Black women and girls. 

Donate

2. The Trans Justice Funding Project: The Trans Justice Funding Project is a community-led funding initiative founded in 2012 to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people in the United States, including U.S. territories. We make grants annually by bringing together a panel of six trans justice activists from around the country to carefully review every application we receive. We center the leadership of trans people organizing around their experiences with racism, economic injustice, transmisogyny, ableism, immigration, incarceration, and other intersecting oppressions. Every penny we raise goes to our grantees with no restrictions and no strings attached because we truly believe in trans leadership.
