Question 1

What is an introduction call?

Accepted Answer

An Introduction call is a free, 30-minute consultation session. Your coach will call you at the scheduled time to discuss your interest in coaching and learn more about your situation and desired goals. It’s a great opportunity to get any questions answered, learn how coaching can support you, and see if the coach is a good fit for you. If you decide to proceed with coaching, your coach will help you with the next steps.

Question 2

Are sessions virtual or in-person?

Accepted Answer

A limited number of in-person appointments are available for clients located in the Salt Lake City area. Ask your coach about in-person availability if you’re interested in meeting in person. Otherwise, most of our appointments are done virtually either via telephone or video conference. The introduction call is a perfect opportunity to discuss with your coach which option will work best for you.

Question 3

How is life coaching different from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Life coaches focus on the present and the client’s goals for the future. Life coaching assists people in making progress and achieving personal and professional goals. Life coaching is not therapy. Life coaches don’t focus on past events, addiction, or trauma. If you have started life coaching but have not been able to move past an issue that is preventing you from moving forward, then it's possible you may be recommended to consult a therapist. Luckily, we have a licensed therapist on staff who is also a coach. If you're unsure which is right for you, Ted can help.

Question 4

What type of person works with a life coach?

Accepted Answer

A life coach can work with a wide variety of topics including but not limited to career advancement, intentional life design, rebuilding life after a big change, accountability with achieving goals, improving relationships, stimulating creative self-expression, or establishing a clear direction. People who hire a life coach are usually open-minded, willing to be challenged, willing to try new things, and determined to work towards their goals between coaching sessions.

Question 5

How does life coaching work?

Accepted Answer

A certified professional coach is trained to partner with you to help you identify realistic goals that matter to you. They will help you define your goals more clearly, and support you as you achieve them. Coaches tend to focus on your values, beliefs, assumptions, and views of the world to help shape the desired behavior needed to take the action required to pursue your goals.

Question 6

How often should I meet with a coach?

Accepted Answer

We recommend meeting with your coach once a week, every other week. Some clients like to meet weekly, or monthly, which is also fine. However, meeting every other week provides the client with enough time to process the work or take action between sessions.

Question 7

What should I expect to pay for a life coach?

Accepted Answer

On average, private coaches charge somewhere between $100- $300 per session. Executive coaches working with businesses or groups may start their prices at $500-$1,000 for their services. We want our prices to reflect the value of our work, while also keeping prices affordable and as accessible as possible so we landed somewhere we thought was in the middle at $200 for individual sessions. Our pricing strategy is designed to maintain a manageable workload, which lets us allocate more time to community service. By charging slightly higher hourly rates and keeping our client base small, we can provide pro bono services to those in need and participate in volunteer opportunities and community events, contributing to the betterment of society, a value that Cottonwood Professional Coaching holds.
