1-on-1 Leadership Coaching
1-on-1 leadership coaching, with the prices right here.
Most coaches make you fill out a form and sit through a sales process before you learn what it costs. Here is what I charge, what you get, and how to start. Start with a free call, or book a session today.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Four ways to work together.
All prices are in US dollars. You pay securely by card when you book. No contracts, no hidden fees.
Clarity Call

A short, no-pressure conversation to see if we are a fit. Tell me what you are facing and I will tell you honestly whether coaching can help.
- No card required
- No pitch, no obligation
- Leave with a clear next step
Focused Session
$110
One topic, handled well. Prepare for a hard conversation, debrief a tough week, or get a second set of eyes on a decision.
- Video or phone

- One clear next step
Deep-Dive Session
$195
A full working session. Look honestly at how you are leading, work through a real situation in depth, and leave with a plan you can use on Monday.

- A plan you can use on Monday
Weekly Lifeline

Steady support while you grow. A standing weekly call, plus help in between when something comes up.

Which One Fits?
Pick the amount of support you actually need.
Start with a single session if…
- You have one situation in front of you, like a hard conversation or a decision.
- You want to see how coaching feels before you commit to more.
- Your schedule or budget is tight right now.
- You are not sure yet. Book the free call first.
Choose the Weekly Lifeline if…
- You are new to leading people, or leading a bigger team than before.
- You want someone steady to think with every week, not once in a crisis.
- You want to practice between sessions and report back on what happened.
- You want a way to reach me when something cannot wait.
A Safe Place to Lead Better
A lifeline when it gets hard. A mirror when you need one.
Leading people can be lonely. You are expected to have the answers, stay calm, and take care of everyone else, often with little training for any of it. Coaching gives you one place where you do not have to perform.
In our sessions we look honestly at how you lead right now: what is working, what it is costing you, and what your team actually experiences. Then we work out together what to change and how to practice it before Monday.
My goal is simple. I want to help you build a better way of leading, and a better way of caring for the people who count on you.
Confidential
What you say stays between us. You can be honest about what is not working without worrying who will hear it.
Practical
Every session ends with something you can try this week, and we start the next one by looking at what happened.
Honest
I ask good questions, and I tell you what I see. Always with care, and always aimed at helping you and your team.
How It Works
Three steps. No forms to fill out first.

Work on what matters
We meet by video or phone, in English or Spanish. You bring a real situation, and you leave with clear next steps and the confidence to try them.
What We Work On
Real situations from real leadership.
Common starting points
- Stepping into your first management role
- Leading people who used to be your peers
- Giving hard feedback without damaging trust
- Delegating and setting clear expectations
- Handling conflict and difficult conversations
- Staying steady under pressure
- Building a team culture people want to be part of
- Deciding what kind of leader you want to become
What coaching is not
- It is not therapy or mental health treatment.
- It is not legal or HR advice.
- It is not a guarantee of a promotion or a specific result.
- It does not replace your company's formal processes.
If you need something outside of coaching, I will tell you so and help you find the right place to go.
Who You Will Work With
Experience you can use, not a certificate on a wall.
My credibility comes from experience. I have spent more than two decades leading teams inside large, complex organizations, and I have mentored leaders inside and outside the workplace for just as long. I have been the new manager, led former peers, and had the difficult conversations.
I use the ARC Leadership Framework as a shared tool in our work: knowing yourself, knowing your people, and shaping the culture your leadership creates. You can try the free self-check on that page before we ever speak.

If the videos and newsletter help, imagine this made personal.
Every week I share videos, a newsletter, and a Substack to help leaders handle real situations. If those have helped you, we can go further and work on your situation, your team, and your goals.
Questions
The things people usually ask first.
Is the first call really free?
Yes. The Clarity Call is 15 minutes, free, and there is no card required to book it. You tell me what you are facing, and I tell you honestly whether coaching can help and which option fits.
How do I pay?
You pay by card, securely through Stripe, when you book. You get a receipt by email. The Weekly Lifeline is billed monthly on the same date you started.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Just give me 24 hours' notice and you can cancel or reschedule any session at no charge. Life happens, so your first late cancellation is on me. The full policy is on the session policies page.
How does the Weekly Lifeline billing work?
It is month-to-month with no contract. You can cancel any time, and your membership runs through the end of the month you have already paid for. There are no cancellation fees.
What counts as a quick message in the Weekly Lifeline?
Up to two short messages a week between sessions, such as a question before a hard conversation or a quick gut check on a decision. I reply within one business day. If something needs more than a quick answer, we use your lifeline call or the next session.
What is the monthly lifeline call?
It is a 15-minute call each month, on top of your weekly sessions, for the moments that cannot wait for the next one. Reach out and I will fit it in as soon as I can, usually within one to two business days.
Do you coach in Spanish?
Yes. Coaching is available in English or Spanish, and we can use both in the same session if that is how you think and lead.
Is what we talk about confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us. The only exceptions are situations where the law requires disclosure or someone is in serious danger. The policies page explains this in plain language.
Can my employer pay for my coaching?
Yes. If your company would like to cover your coaching, email me and I will invoice them at the same published rates.
What qualifies you to coach leaders?
Experience, not a certificate. I have spent more than two decades leading teams inside large organizations and mentoring leaders inside and outside the workplace. I have been the new manager, led former peers, and had the hard conversations. I will always be clear about what I can and cannot help with.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is focused on your leadership, your decisions, and your next steps. It is not therapy, medical care, or legal or HR advice. If you need that kind of support, I will say so and point you in the right direction.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Most people handle a specific situation differently within the first few sessions. Lasting change in how you lead takes steady practice, which is why many people choose weekly support.
