What if you are not satisfied?
Normally, billing occurs after every two sessions. If you realize after the first session that it’s not a good fit, you only pay for that session – no risk.
Do I need to prepare for coaching?
No. Just come as you are. I bring the structure – you bring yourself and your topic. That’s enough.
What’s the benefit of coaching for entrepreneurs?
Whether it’s coaching or consulting, both can be valuable. They help you clarify your thoughts, approach challenges with more ease, gain perspective, and reflect on your next steps.
