What happens during a discovery call?
The discovery call is a free 30-minute session where we discuss your goals, challenges, and what you hope to achieve through coaching. It’s an opportunity to determine if my services are the right fit for you.
How can I prepare for a coaching session?
To make the most of your session, take some time to reflect on your goals, challenges, and any specific topics you want to discuss. Completing any pre-session materials or forms provided will also help maximize our time together.
