FAQ

Are there professional standards for the coaching industry?

Yes, there is a code of ethics, core competencies, accreditation processes, and an International Coach Federation (industry association) that promotes the advancement of coaches. To learn more about this, click here: http://www.coachfederation.org/index.cfm.

How will I know you are the right coach for me?

During our initial conversations and/or intro/discovery session, together we will identify if this is an appropriate fit. So, before you say "yes," you will have a sample of what the coaching experience will be like with me. Until then, click on my "Meet Christina" page to learn more about me and my approach in coaching.

How do I get started in the coaching process?

If you are interested in beginning the coaching process, please contact me via phone or email so we can schedule our initial discovery session to further explore the details of the coaching relationship.

What can I expect from you as my coach?

  1. Be a partner in bringing out the best, the deepest, and the truest in you
  2. Provide safety, encouragement, and support, ie, an environment in which you can relax and explore
  3. Respect the confidentiality of the agreements we make
  4. Expand your view of what is possible and promote discovery of new insights
  5. Give you input, straight feedback, and operate as a sounding board
  6. Listen carefully to what you say and ask questions that increase awareness
  7. Be an on-going resource for you in accomplishing your intentions

What if I sign up for this and decide it is not right for me? Do you have a money back guarantee?

Yes, I call it my "participate and get your money back" guarantee. If within the first month of our relationship you show up to the calls and participate fully in the coaching process, you can simply let me know if this is not working for you and I will refund your money. To honor the coaching agreement and the coaching process, if you sign up and do not show up for your coaching sessions, do not do the follow-up work, etc, then we will not refund your money.

SECURITY & CONFIDENTIALITY

Is this client center and my data secured and safe?

Yes! In fact, there are 3 levels of security provided to keep your data safe and confidential:  

  1. Username and password protected
  2. Verisign Security Certificate protects your data on this site 
  3. Secured pages (https://)

Is my information confidential?

Yes. This site is protected by a username/password system. You are the only one that has access to your information.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

Can I contact you in between our scheduled coaching sessions?

Yes! In the event that you would like support on something that comes up in between our meetings, you can post an inquiry to the Client Log and we can have "just in time" coaching via your Private Client Website. If we have discussed this, you may be able to access me via brief texts or emails.

ACCESSING THE PRIVATE CLIENT AREA

What is the "Register" link and when would I use it?

If you are interested in becoming a client or beginning the coaching process, you can create your own account to access the private client area.  When you register, I will be notified that your account has been created and I will need to activate your account. This could take up to 24 hours.

How do I access your private client area and how do I log in?

Click on the log-in link in the navigational menu of the website. Then enter the username and password that has been assigned to you. Don't have log-in information yet?  Contact me so we can get an account created for you.

I have a password that I use for most of my on-line accounts.  Can I change the password you assigned to me?

Yes. You will need to log in initially using the password I assigned to you. Once you log in, you can change your password at any time in your Client Profile page, found under the FORMS tab.

What if I forget or lose my password and log-in information?

If you simply forgot your password, you can still go to the log-in page by clicking the log-in link. Click on the blue link "forgot password" to the right of the "Log-in" button and, in the new "Forgot Password" window, enter your username and click on the "Continue" button. You will receive an email shortly with your password.

If you misplaced both your username and password, contact me and I will forward you your information.

I’m trying to log in, but it will not accept my username or password, what do I do?

Remember that the log-in information is case sensitive, so enter it exactly like it was given to you. Also, type in your log-in credentials and DO NOT copy/paste it, as this procedure can include empty spaces, which count in a password, thus rendering it incorrect. Again, if you do not remember your log-in credentials, you can contact me via email and I'll forward them to you.
