 01   Which type of coaching do I need?

 

If you're unsure about which experience to opt for or if coaching is for you, then please contact me to share your situation and we can discuss the different ways they could work for you. If you want to understand the difference between coaching and mentoring, read 'Need to Know'. 

​

 

 02   I'd like Partnership Coaching but not sure my business partner is up for it?

 

It's important that both of you have energy and an interest in improving your relationship. Finding the suggestion of coaching to your partner difficult is a sign that your relationship may be in need of some attention. Try suggesting a health check on how you're both doing and connecting it to business performance and growth. Suggest that a third party, such as a coach, can help it be productive. Alternatively, we can work together on a 1~2~1 basis around how you experience and co-create your relationships.

​

 03  What's the first step in creating a coaching relationship?

​

It starts with you. What issues and opportunities would you like to bring to coaching? Read the 'Need to Know' document. Try out an 'activity' on the coaching activities page to stimulate your thinking. Or request an Intro Chat or drop me an email. Coaching starts with a conversation. Before we commit to working together, we have what is known as a compatibility meeting so that we can create a shared understanding of what you would like from the relationship and how I work. We cover how we will work together, including where, when, for how long and agree the fee structure.

​

 04  What's the difference between ICF Mentor Coaching & Supervision ?

 

While both are developmental partnerships, ICF Mentor Coaching orientates around the ICF Core Competencies and Ethics. Through a deep understanding of this competency framework, the coach builds alignment of how to coach with who they are as coach. In Supervision, we may refer to a competency framework & ethical guidelines, however the viewpoint is much broader.

​

 05   How much does it cost to work with you?

​

My fees are structured to be affordable for individuals, small businesses and corporate clients; click the link for a summary. I offer fixed price packages for 1~2~1, Partnership Coaching and ICF Mentor Coaching. 

As ~bend the river is a small business, I am able to offer fees without the additional cost of VAT. 

 

 

 06   What's the cancellation fee & notice?

​

If there is a 'no show' for a scheduled session, it will be charged at full fee, except in emergency circumstances. If reasonable notice is given (this will be detailed in our working agreement) we reschedule. If the package is not delivering for you as expected, together we explore the options and agree a way forward regarding timeline and outstanding fees.
