Frequently Asked Questions
-
My coaching is for experienced women working across the music industry who know something needs to change and want the support to work out what comes next.
You might be:
questioning what you want from your career now
stuck in your head or second-guessing yourself
ready for a change, but unsure what that looks like
wanting to trust your own judgement and back yourself more
You might be leading teams, running projects, closing deals, building a business of your own, or out on the road making things happen across the music business.
My coaching space is inclusive and welcoming of different identities, backgrounds and ways of experiencing the world, including LGBTQ+ and gender-expansive clients.
Many of the women I coach are neurodivergent, including women with ADHD, and I’ve completed additional training in ADHD-informed coaching to better support different thinking styles, communication patterns and ways of working.
-
You don’t need to have had coaching before or know exactly what you want to work on.
Coaching could be right for you if you’re ready to make a change, think differently or understand yourself better, but you’re finding it difficult to get there on your own.
It gives you a confidential space to think out loud, be challenged, get clearer and work out what you want to do next.
It’s absolutely fine if you don’t know what the answer is yet. That’s what we’ll work out together.
-
You’re not expected to know.
Many of my clients come to coaching precisely because they’re unclear about what they want next, or they’ve been going round the same questions for months.
We’ll work through what matters to you, what’s getting in the way and what you actually want now, so you can start making decisions from there.
-
I’m a certified Executive Coach (CPCC) and ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC). I’m also a LINC Certified Practitioner and have completed additional ICF-accredited training in leadership and ADHD coaching.
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than 20 years working across the music industry, including at BMG, Sony Music, EMI and Metropolis Studios, as well as Europe’s largest music merchandise distributor.
So alongside professional coaching training, I bring a first-hand understanding of the industry you’re navigating.
-
You bring whatever feels most important that day. A decision, a difficult conversation, something you can’t stop overthinking, or simply the feeling that you’re stuck and need to work out why.
I’ll give you the space to think out loud, ask questions you might not be asking yourself, challenge the stories and assumptions getting in your way, and help you see things from a different perspective.
Sometimes we’ll use practical tools or exercises. Sometimes one question can change the whole direction of the conversation.
You’ll leave thinking more clearly, trusting yourself more and knowing what you want to do next.
-
One session can shift your thinking, but real change usually takes time.
Three months gives us enough space to understand what’s really going on, make decisions and start putting them into practice.
Six months gives us more room to go deeper. Knowing we have longer together changes the pace from the start, giving you more time to make changes, see what happens and work through what comes up along the way.
We can talk about which option feels right for you on your consultation call.
-
Meeting every two weeks gives you time to take what comes up in our sessions and apply it in real life.
When we meet again, we can look at what happened, what you learned and what you want to do next.
That said, I know life and work can be full on. Travel, busy seasons and real life happen, so there’s flexibility when needed.
-
The Discovery Session is 90 minutes.
All other coaching sessions are 60 minutes.
-
All coaching sessions take place on Zoom, so we can work together wherever you are in the world.
-
I coach Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm Eastern Time.
I work with clients across different time zones, and sessions are scheduled within those hours.
-
You can find current pricing and full details of my coaching packages on the Packages page.
You can pay in full or spread the cost across three monthly payments. If you choose the payment plan, it’s set up as a subscription through PayPal, so your monthly payments are taken automatically.
I work with clients internationally, including many in the UK, and all payments are made securely through PayPal.
-
Confidentiality is fundamental to my coaching.
What you say in our sessions stays in our sessions. I won’t share that you’re a client or discuss anything we talk about without your permission.
I also work in accordance with the ICF Code of Ethics and professional confidentiality standards.
-
I understand that busy lives and unpredictable schedules happen.
If you’re running late, just let me know when you can. We’ll use the time we have left and still finish at the scheduled time.
-
I ask for at least 48 working hours’ notice if you need to reschedule a session.
Sessions changed with less than 48 working hours’ notice will be charged in full.
I understand that genuine emergencies and music industry curveballs happen, and I’ll always aim to be fair where I can.
-
Come ready to be open and honest, even when the questions feel challenging.
Between sessions, give yourself time to notice what’s changing and follow through on the actions you’ve committed to.
The more you bring to the process, the more you’ll get from it.
