  • Is online coaching as effective as live interaction?
    Absolutely! Online coaching is similar to coaching with live interaction, except everything is done online. So, instead of making appointments to talk to your coach, you agree to a regularly scheduled day when coaching sessions run. Online coaching has several advantages over in-person coaching, depending on the context and the needs of the individual. Here are some ways in which online coaching can be better: 1. Flexibility and Convenience Scheduling: Online coaching allows clients to schedule sessions at times that are convenient for them, without the need to travel to a specific location. Location Independence: Clients can participate from anywhere, whether they’re at home, traveling, or in a different time zone. 2. Variety of Tools and Resources Digital Tools: Online coaching can incorporate a range of digital tools like video recordings, interactive worksheets, and online journals, which can enhance the coaching experience. Ongoing Support: Communication through emails, chats, or apps allows for ongoing support and check-ins between sessions, which can be more challenging in in-person setups. 3. Comfort and Privacy Safe Environment: Some clients may feel more comfortable discussing personal issues in their own environment, leading to more openness and productive sessions. Privacy: Online coaching can offer more privacy, as clients do not need to be seen entering or leaving a physical coaching space. 4. Time Efficiency No Commute: Eliminating the need to travel to and from sessions saves time, which can be particularly valuable for busy professionals or those with tight schedules. Immediate Access to Notes: Sessions can be recorded, and notes can be immediately shared, allowing clients to review content as needed.
  • What does an empowerment coach do?
    A personal empowerment coach specialises in identifying and removing mental blocks that impede the feeling of empowerment. A women’s empowerment coach helps women build confidence, recognize their strengths, and achieve their personal and professional goals. They work with clients to overcome obstacles, break through limiting beliefs, and develop a strong sense of self-worth. Through personalized coaching sessions, they provide support, guidance, and tools to help women take control of their lives, make empowered decisions, and reach their full potential. The focus is often on areas such as career advancement, personal growth, relationships, and work-life balance, all aimed at helping women lead fulfilling and empowered lives. Click here to read more.
  • What is the difference between an empowerment coach and a life coach?
    The focus of empowerment coaching is on your inner thoughts. Mental blocks will be removed, and you will be able to change your negative thoughts. This will transform your mindset, resulting in more motivation and productivity. Even though life coaches help you change your inner thoughts and the way you behave, they do not deal with issues of feeling unempowered.
  • How is coaching different from mentoring?
    Coaching is focused on achieving specific short-term goals or improving particular skills. It's typically a structured, performance-driven process where the coach guides the client toward their objectives. Mentoring, on the other hand, is a long-term relationship centered on overall personal and professional growth. Mentors provide advice and share experiences to help the mentee develop over time. While coaches help you find your own solutions, mentors offer guidance based on their expertise and experience.
  • Is empowerment coaching similar to therapy?
    Empowerment Coaching focuses on the client's emotional state, inner strengths and core values. A healthy emotional balance allows individuals to realise their own potential, regain control of their lives and make better choices. Therapy sessions help individuals that have a deeper underlying issue. Therapy can last for years and it involves, among other things, going back into the past life of the person. Unlike empowerment coaches, therapists diagnose mental health conditions and can refer an individual for evaluation for medication or other treatments.
  • What happens during a typical session?
    No two women are the same in their experiences, viewpoints, needs and desires. Therefore, each session is different, providing you with the tailored help you need for a specific situation. However, you can read about the typical structure of a 1:1 coaching session here. Sessions can last between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on the Empowerment Space or Coaching Plan you have chosen. At the end of each session, I will give you some assignments for next time (exercises, activities, positive readings, journaling, a self-care routine etc.) to help you maintain momentum and make sure you are in the right direction. We will review your progress in our next meeting and explain how you can best apply what you have learned to become empowered and move closer to your goals.
  • What are your fees?
    Please visit my Empowerment Spaces (for one-off sessions) and Pricing (for coaching plans) pages for current information about my fees and cancellation policies. For more information on payment options, offers and cancellations, contact me.
  • What is your cancellation / refund policy?
    MONTHLY IGNITION PLAN: Should you cancel the IGNITION Plan, reimbursement of 50% of the program fee will occur if cancelled before Session 2. No reimbursement will occur if cancelled from Session 2. 3-MONTH SYNERGY PLAN: If you cancel the SYNERGY Plan, reimbursement of 50% of the program fee will occur if cancelled before Session 3. No reimbursement will occur if cancelled from Session 3. 6-MONTH FUSION PLAN: Should you cancel the FUSION Plan, reimbursement of 50% of the program fee will occur if cancelled before Session 3. No reimbursement will occur if cancelled from Session 3. You can expect to receive your refund within 10 business days of it being processed. Refund requests should be sent to: lifecoach@expertonyourlife.com Online courses and one-off sessions (Empowerment Spaces) are non-refundable.
  • If I miss a session, can I reschedule it?
    Every session is scheduled in advance. • If you have purchased any of the IGNITION, SYNERGY or FUSION plans and you need to rearrange a session, you should provide at least 48 hours notice. In exceptional circumstances the Coach may need to rearrange a coaching session. In those instances, the Coach will also give you 48 hours' notice where practical. • One-off sessions ("Empowerment Spaces") cannot be rescheduled, so make sure you book your session on a day and at a time you know you will be available.
  • Is empowerment coaching worth the investment?
    100% worth it. By leveraging someone else's mastery of something, you can see faster and more concrete results. This is a huge shortcut! You can always read books, attend seminars and watch videos that might motivate you, but they won’t empower you. Coaching from a professional can save you time and energy. It can show you how to make the most of your strengths, fuel your confidence and challenge self-limiting beliefs. It helps you remain focused and clarify your priorities. Empowerment coaching will not only give you reassurance that you are on the right path, but it will also help you do something you wouldn’t do on your own: move out of your comfort zone and make major changes with confidence.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    Depending on how deeply ingrained your limiting beliefs are and on your levels of commitment, empowerment coaching may take a few weeks or longer. However, if you want to focus on a specific issue, or you simply want to boost your confidence before, say, an interview, an important meeting, or a social gathering, there are short, breakthrough one-off sessions available. In general, you can have as many or as few coaching sessions as you like. It is entirely up to you to decide. Visit the Coaching Plans and the Empowerment Spaces pages to explore the different coaching options and plans we offer or contact me to arrange a free Clarity Call to discuss your needs and create more personalised coaching solutions.
