A few points about my coaching:

It's fast! Nearly all clients see improvement after just a single session, and most achieve strong, sustainable improvement after just a month of working together.

It offers a tremendous return-on-investment (ROI). If I work with you for an hour and help you gain just an extra hour of productivity per week, that's a huge return in just the first year! But my coaching doesn't just add an hour or two to your input: it can double or triple it, or multiply it even more.

Of course, along with higher productivity comes increased pride and joy in your work, decreased stress, a happier and healthier life, and happier and more harmonious relationships. Please check out my coaching packages below.  I coach only via telephone or online (audio only), on a flexible schedule that allows me to work with people from around the world. All coaching is prepaid via PayPal or check, and nonrefundable; and all coaching hours are valid for up to one year after date of purchase.

Note: I offer discounted rates for qualifying full-time students, and those doing at least half-time pro bono activist work. If you think you qualify, please email me.

All new coaching clients receive a free e-copy of the most relevant of my books, which they are advised to review prior to our first talk. (If you already own the book, you can give the e-copy to someone else.)

If you're familiar with my writing, you probably already have an idea of what kind of coach I am. I'm compassionate yet direct, focused, and precise. I aim for quick progress. I don’t beat around the bush, but tell you what I think you’re doing right (usually more than you realize), what I think you’re doing wrong (usually less), and how others may be influencing your situation. I do best with clients who like a nuts-and-bolts, plain-spoken, pragmatic, problem-solving-oriented approach. If that describes you, then purchase a Needs Analysis/Action Plan package below and we'll get started.

1. Needs Analysis/Action Planning package

All coaching begins with a four-step Needs Analysis/Action Planning package:

1. You send me a 1-2 page informal narrative outlining your situation, goals, and challenges, plus your resume or c.v. if you wish, plus some additional materials I will suggest. I will thoroughly review these prior to Step #2.
2. We have a 90-minute conversation via telephone or Skype (audio only) during which we discuss the issues you raise in your narrative. The focus of the conversation will be on revealing the exact nature and proper context of the challenges you face (including productivity and time management challenges), and designing solutions for them.
3. I follow up within 72 hours with a highly detailed Preliminary Action Plan that summarizes the major points we discussed and provides detailed solutions.
4. You have 72 hours to offer comments or questions on the Preliminary Action Plan. I will address those and send you the Final Action Plan. At that point you are free to work on the steps in the Action Plan, or sign up for more coaching (see below).

Needs Analysis / Action Planning Process, $375

2. Hourly Packages

If you wish to continue beyond the Needs Analysis/Action Planning Process, you may book time on an hourly basis. My hourly rate is $145/hour or $675 for a discounted 5-hour block, payable in advance via check or PayPal. I try to be very flexible so you get the most value for your investment: we can schedule calls as frequently or infrequently as you wish, and for whatever call duration you wish. (Minimum call time: 15 minutes.) Sample engagements include:

• To help you maintain ongoing productivity: weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, or seasonal calls of 30 mins or an hour.
• To help you meet an imminent deadline: daily or several-times-a-week calls of 15 mins to 1 hour.
• To get advice about a particular situation: a single one- or two-hour discussion. (Two is preferred because it allows us to really delve into issues, and also allows for a useful follow-up.)
• Or, whatever schedule works for you!
• Evening and weekend times available.

Per-Hour Coaching, $145 per hour

Per-Hour Coaching discount, $675 for 5 hours

Email me if you think you qualify.
