Coffee Chat FAQ
Here are a few of the questions I hear most often about coffee chats, coaching, and finding the support that feels right for you.
-
We'll spend time getting to know each other and talking about where you are, where you'd like to go, and the opportunities or challenges you've identified along the way.
I'll share a little about my coaching, programs, and upcoming workshops, and together we'll explore which options, if any, feel like a good fit for what you're looking for.
After our conversation, you'll receive a follow-up email with a summary of what we discussed, any resources we talked about, and links to the coaching or program options that seem most relevant, including current pricing.
There's no expectation that we'll work together. The goal is simply to give you the information you need to decide what feels right for you.
-
That's okay.
You don't need to have a business plan, a website, or even a clear idea of what you want before we talk.
The coffee chat is simply a chance to explore where you are, where you'd like to go, and whether any of my programs or coaching options might be helpful. Information is provided in a follow up email to allow you to consider all the options before deciding what support would work best at this time.
If the answer is "not right now," that's a perfectly good outcome too.
-
You don't have to figure that out before booking.
Some people are deciding between coaching and a program. Some have a specific business question. Others simply want a sounding board.
The coffee chat is an opportunity to explore your options, ask questions, and leave with more information than you started with.
-
Both are designed to help you build a stronger business—they just offer different ways of learning.
Programs bring together a small group of entrepreneurs to explore a specific topic through live education, discussion, activities, and practical tools. They're a great fit if you enjoy learning alongside others and want dedicated time to reflect, experiment, and build your skills.
Coaching is one-to-one and shaped entirely around you. Together, we'll explore your goals, challenges, ideas, and questions at your own pace, focusing on the areas that feel most important for your business.
Many people choose one or the other. Others combine both, using a program for structured learning and coaching for individualized support.
There's no "right" choice—we can explore the options together during a coffee chat and you can decide what feels like the best fit for you.
-
Therapy and coaching are both valuable, but they serve different purposes.
Many of my clients work with a therapist while also working with me.
As an ICF-trained coach, I start from the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role isn't to diagnose, treat, or tell you what to do. Instead, I ask questions, share practical business education, offer observations, and create space for you to reflect, experiment, and make informed decisions.
Our conversations might include marketing, pricing, business planning, decision making, time management, or navigating the realities of entrepreneurship with ADHD. Sometimes we'll explore the beliefs or experiences that influence those decisions, but the focus is always on helping you move forward in a way that aligns with your goals, values, and capacity.
If, at any point, it seems like another type of support would be more helpful, I'll tell you. Many people find that coaching and therapy complement each other beautifully.
