Coaching and Facilitation

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be in Wellington, New Zealand to work with you?

I work with clients across the globe and meet virtually with Zoom (but we can use MSTeams or other platforms if you prefer). I am based in Wellington, NZ and I am happy to travel for larger projects – please get in touch to discuss.

Who is your ideal coaching client?

My ideal clients are managers and leaders, often working in the public sector, who are in midlife stages or may be going through career transitions. They have a keen desire to lean in, experiment with new approaches, discover their full potential, and challenge themselves to reach new heights. These clients are open-minded, eager to learn and grow in self-awareness. They are committed to their personal and professional development. They understand the value of coaching and are willing to invest time and effort into the process, trusting that it will help them achieve their goals and unlock their potential.

Who is your ideal facilitation client?

I work with all sorts of teams ranging from a small groups of leaders to larger groups of multiple teams altogether.

People often come away from workshops with me feeling uplifted, more energised and more connected with their colleagues as a result.

I asked AI to review all my testimonials and ascertain what value clients get from workshops I faciltiate. Here’s what it came up with:

    • Energy and warmth in delivery
    • Professionalism
    • A safe and inclusive environment for all to contribute
    • Practical, actionable tools and insights
    • Long-term development over quick fixes
    • Strengths-based approaches to growth.

How much do you charge?

Coaching packages range from $500 to $5400 for a one-off coaching sessions to a longer term coaching relationship. Please get in touch with me to discuss your budget and needs and we can work through how I can best support you. If you don’t want to commit too much upfront, you can always opt for having a couple of coaching sessions to start with and then upgrade to a coaching package depending on your goals and what you want to achieve throughout our coaching relationship.

Workshop facilitation starts from $3000. Please get in touch with me to discuss your budget and needs and we can work through how I can best support you.

Pro-bono: I offer a limited number of pro-bono packages for worthy causes and mission-led organisations. These usually get booked up a year in advance so please get in touch if you wish to discuss further. My longer term volunteer commitments are supporting the leadership team for International Coaching Federation ICF Aotearoa New Zealand Branch (ICF Australasia Chapter), and leadership coaching with Springboard Trust.

Remote or In-Person?

I am flexible to deliver in-person or virtually. The choice is yours.

My preferred virtual platform for coaching and facilitation is Zoom, but I’m happy to discuss if you need to use another platform. Whether it be a team gathering in the office, offsite or a virtual workshop, all programs are customised to your needs. Learn more about in-person or virtual events.

I’m happy to travel domestically or internationally for larger projects.

My organisation has strict procurement policies - how do I know if I can easily hire you?

For government agencies: I am on the All-Of-Government (AOG) consultancy services panel (Tier 3 Human Resources and Business Change categories), which makes it easier for government agencies to do business with me.

I try and make it as easy as possible for you (and me!) to do business together. I’m not a fan of mucking around with lots of admin too-ing and fro-ing. The less paperwork and processes we have to go through, the better. You let me know what your organisation requires (e.g. Quote, formal letterhead proposal, Consultancy Services Order (CSO), Supplier Form, or something else). We’ll complete what we have to as efficiently as possible, and get started on working together.

For those with a Coaching Package, I will provide a Coaching Agreement for your review and signature.  This provides clarification regarding the coaching relationship between us, expectations and commitments of all parties, ICF Code of Ethics, and preserves the integrity of the relationship.

Do you provide a venue for away days/team gatherings?

No, but I am more than happy to help support you find a good one. I have a list of venues in Wellington that I highly recommend. Please get in touch if you want more details.

How do you invoice?

Depending on our contract arrangement, invoices are usually sent out at the commissioning stage (you provide me with the appropriate email address and any Purchase Order /Cost Centre Code, if applicable). Payments due within 21 days of receipt of an invoice. If you would prefer a different cadence for invoicing, please let me know.

Do you have Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Yes.
