Why a Coach

A confidential partner for your blind spots.

Having a coach means having a confidential partner who helps you see your blind spots, stress-test decisions before you're locked in, and move forward with a clear sense of direction instead of second-guessing.

ECA integrates mindset and brain-based coaching into practical skill development, relationship building, and measurable behavioral change. The aim is straightforward: to help you become the greatest version of yourself — both professionally and personally.

With the right thought partner, you build greater self-awareness, elevate your leadership presence, and turn insight into practical action.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know before you reply.

Who is this offer for?

Leaders at three stages: law firm associates and partners; in-house counsel at all levels, including general counsel; and vice presidents and senior vice presidents who want professional advancement, personal growth, and successful impact in their endeavors.

Why is the rate only $50 for one session?

This is a one-time introductory rate while I complete ICF practicum hours. Standard executive coaching is typically priced at several hundred dollars per session. The reduced rate makes the work accessible without reducing the rigor of the engagement.

Are you qualified to coach if you are still pursuing ICF certification?

Yes. I hold the Executive Coaching Diploma from Emory Executive Education | Goizueta Business School. I also bring a J.D., an M.B.A., and years of corporate, legal, and leadership experience. Pursuing my ICF credentials demonstrates my personal commitment to the coaching industry and to continuously developing myself as a coaching professional.

How long is each session?

Sixty minutes, one-to-one. We meet by videoconferencing — Zoom, Teams, or similar — at pre-arranged time slots.

How do the packages work?

You may book a single session or a package. Three sessions are $100 instead of $150. Five sessions are $150 instead of $250. Packages are the better value if you want momentum across the six-month window.

Do unused sessions expire?

Sessions in this offer are to be used between October 1, 2026 and February 28, 2027. If a scheduling conflict arises, we will make every reasonable effort to reschedule within that window.

What happens after February 28, 2027?

This introductory rate ends on that date. If we choose to continue, we will discuss next-step pricing and a new engagement term before the window closes. There is no obligation to continue.

Is our work confidential?

Yes. What you share stays between us, except where the law requires disclosure. If I log coaching hours for ICF, I do so without identifying you or the substance of our conversations. You may be asked to consent to a video recording with transcription of one session, for the specific purpose of submitting it to ICF for evaluation of my coaching. I'll provide a separate consent for you to consider at the appropriate time — there is no obligation to provide it as a condition of engaging me, and there is no recording of any session without your express consent.

How is coaching different from consulting, mentoring, or therapy?

Coaching is a collaborative, client-centered partnership. I do not give legal, financial, or clinical advice, and I do not take over your decisions. You remain responsible for your choices and outcomes. I help you see more clearly, decide more deliberately, and act more effectively.

Can I end the engagement?

Yes. You may end at any time by sending written electronic notice before the next scheduled session. I will extend you the same courtesy if I ever need to step back.

What if I need to cancel a session?

Please give notice before the session. We will reschedule within the offer window whenever possible.

How do I prepare?

Come willing to be candid. Before our first session, I'll send a short set of questions so we can begin with your real priorities, not a generic agenda.

How do I get started?

Reply to the original offer email with your preferred package, and I'll follow up with a brief Letter of Engagement and a calendar link to schedule your coaching session(s).

What if I need more time to think about it?

If you're unsure which path fits, reply with "let's talk" and I'll send a calendar link to schedule a short conversation to decide together.
