Personal and Organizational Advising

We always work with you to find an approach that fits your particular situation, preferences, and goals. Here we outline some options.

~ Personal Advising Session
   Whether it's a work-related issue or something more personal, we can help you get to the
   heart of the matter more quickly, so that you can move forward sooner rather than later. We
   draw from a variety of approaches and tailor the session to your needs.

   Our sessions usually go until we reach a significant breakthrough or moment of clarity with
   you, typically 2 to 2.5 hours long. A session is $175. Gift Certificates are available too.

~ The Good Life Line
   Bite-sized advising, perfect for issues that pop up in your daily life such as when you want ...
         ... to review strategy before an important meeting.
         ... to reflect on what happened after a difficult conversation.
         ... a second opinion before you send an email.
   Just $1.50 per minute by phone, email, or Skype.

~ Advising in the Workplace
   We work within organizations offering one-on-one sessions to help staff resolve issues,
   reduce stress, and increase well being so they can bring their best selves to their work.
   It's like chair massage for the psyche! Read more on the workplace advising page.

~ Pay What You Value
   For other issues and projects we offer a Pay What You Value approach. Together we will
   define your goals and find a mutually satisfying scope of work and fee that reflects the
   value to you and your organization.
