  1. A free 30-minute conversation about your challenge, to ensure that I can add value and help you.
  2. I will develop a proposal, grounded in your budget, to determine what we can do together to solve your problem.  We define a goal for your coaching.
  3. We meet, one-on-one, to build a relationship and work hands-on with your problem.  We review the plan each session to make adjustments, if needed, or measure our progress towards the goal we defined.
  4. You experience success as your goal is met.
  5. We continue to be in a relationship, and I celebrate your future successes with you!
