Q: What is coaching?

A: Coaching is a process that unlocks your potential so you can achieve your goals. The coach becomes your personal resource person who helps you grow professionally and personally. Coaching is a way to bridge any gap between where you are today and where you would like to be.

Q: How does coaching differ from therapy?

A: Coaching takes into account your personal desires, needs, and goals and can help address your business issues and processes. Rather than telling someone what you should do, coaching leads to growth and development that allows you to make better, more informed decisions for yourself.

Q: What kinds of issues does a coach help with?

A: This is determined by the individual needs of the client. For someone wanting more out of life, it might be learning how to say no, or giving oneself permission to do something enjoyable. For the person in transition, it might be determining what the right job is, learning how to feel self-confident in new situations, or learning how to interview better. For the business owner or executive, it might be learning how to delegate more, how to manage employees with ease and confidence, or how to feel less stressed in a demanding, fast-paced job.

Q: Does coaching really work?

A: Coaching works because you redefine your goals into manageable chunks--so that every week you move yourself closer to where you want to be. The coaching is given with lots of encouragement, accountability, and humor!

Q: What are the benefits of coaching?

A: You have someone who can give you an impartial perspective and brainstorm with you on ways to move ahead. Coaching also provides quick, convenient learning of ideas and techniques that might take weeks in a management seminar or series of classes. This is because coaching is customized to the specific issues and needs that you have. As we address some of the nagging irritations of everyday business and personal life together, you will feel good about being on the road to a more satisfying, productive life.

Q: What happens during a coaching session?

A: You share the successes and wins you've had during the week, challenges you faced and how you handled them, what you are currently working on and how it is going, what advice you would like from me, and new skills you want to develop. As you share your ideas and plans, I will help you become more focused as you travel the path to your goals. I will be someone who is on your side and willing to give you an objective opinion.

Q: Can I work with my coach long distance?

A: As I work with people by telephone and email, clients can be any where in the world. Location is not an issue.

Q: How much does Coaching cost?

A: Fees for Coaching can be as varied as the number of Coaches that you ask. Depending on their availability and expertise, charges can range from $250 to $1000/month. Coaching is prepaid by credit card or check on a monthly basis. Dr. Kee works with the client to assess the client's need and will customize the level and cost of the coaching. The basic individual coaching program is $300/month and includes 3 coaching sessions of 30 minutes by phone each month. This is supplemented by additional email, fax, and phone support as needed. Other levels are available upon request for those clients who prefer a more vigorous level of coaching and who have the determination to take advantage of more intense style of coaching.

The first initial consultation of thirty minutes duration is FREE. When you have made the decision to begin your coaching experience, Dr. Kee asks that you commit to yourself to a minimum of three months (six months is more optimum in terms of client success and satisfaction).

Think of yourself as an Olympic athlete working toward your Gold medal. What are you willing to do to reach your goals? Dr. Kee is here to help you in that effort.
