Expectations
Our partnership is an essential component of your success in every aspect of your professional or entrepreneurial journey. My role as your coach is to listen, assess, and provide tailored guidance to help you achieve your goals—whether you are advancing in your career, launching a business, or navigating complex professional challenges.
Together, we will develop strategies that empower you to:
- Show up with confidence, professionalism, and poise.
- Make informed, strategic decisions.
- Align your passion with your purpose.
- Excel in any professional or entrepreneurial environment.
I believe in the power of accountability. While I will provide tools, insights, and guidance, it is your responsibility to set clear objectives, select the right path for your growth, and take consistent action. This shared commitment ensures that your progress leads to sustained success and fulfillment.
In-Person, Hands-On Business & Dining Etiquette Sessions
For clients engaging in business and dining etiquette training, select sessions will take place in-person at an agreed-upon restaurant or venue. These immersive experiences are designed to:
- Practice proper introductions, handshakes, and networking etiquette.
- Refine dining skills, including table settings, ordering, wine selection, and conversation flow.
- Engage in role-play scenarios that simulate real-world business meals and networking events.
Session Inclusions:
- A three or four-course meal (appetizer, salad, entrée, dessert) with a protein requiring the use of a fork and knife.
- Wine etiquette training and tasting (optional, based on client preference).
- Immediate, real-time feedback during the session.
- A certificate of completion upon the conclusion of your coaching program.
Meal costs are included in the session fee unless otherwise specified.
Appointments
Sessions are scheduled based on your needs and availability. The frequency of meetings is your choice; however, consistent engagement yields the best results. Please arrive on time and fully present, ready to participate with a positive, can-do attitude.
Fees
Coaching and etiquette training services are provided for a fee, agreed upon in advance. Payment is due in full to confirm your appointment. For in-person dining etiquette sessions, fees include the cost of the meal and venue arrangements.
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify me at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or failure to attend a scheduled session without notice, will result in the full session fee being charged. If I need to reschedule, I will provide at least 24 hours’ notice, barring emergency or illness.
Confidentiality & Results
While I cannot guarantee specific outcomes, I am committed to your growth and success. You can expect me to:
- Listen attentively and provide honest feedback.
- Challenge and encourage you to stretch beyond your comfort zone.
- Offer fresh perspectives and practical strategies.
- Assign Success Work (my word for homework) to reinforce learning.
- Acknowledge your wins.
- Maintain the highest level of confidentiality, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
