Life Coach Lisa Yerington here!
Hey~
So, you need someone to listen, right? You need someone to help you to find the answer. You have done your research and picked *the one*.
What is the next?
Well, most coaches will give you a free session. They want you to be sure you have chosen wisely. They want the two of you to be a good fit. You decide you are a good fit.
Then what?
They may tell you that you will need months of help. They may then tell you that what you need to do is to sign up for months of sessions. This is where fees are discussed. The figure is probably reasonable on a session by session rate, but you may be quoted a price for the next 6 months, and that figure is large.
Then what?
Well, when I have had people do that to me, my first response is to sigh. I feel that that person is pressuring me to pay for services I don’t need. My good feeling about this person just shrank. Part of that feeling is because they tell you the price is going up. Act now or pay more later.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Some people do have complex issues that do need months of sessions. Husbands and wives considering divorce do need 6 months of sessions. Some people have an ongoing issue or concern in their lives that may take months to resolve. But I feel that most issues can be resolved in just a few sessions.
There are a lot of really caring and talented life coaches out there. But I urge you to not sign up for months and months of sessions if you don’t feel you need long term help. Maybe you do, and maybe you don’t.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Wishing you a great day!
