What is it like to work with a leadership coach that puts your career first?

The coaching process is tailored to each client, ensuring a personalized journey toward success. Typically, it involves weekly, one-hour Zoom audio sessions focused on achieving a specific overarching goal. These sessions delve into current challenges, problem-solving, reframing limiting beliefs, and completing assignments designed to align with the program's ultimate purpose.

At Live for Yourself Consulting, our programs are grounded in applied learning theory and research on curriculum design and leadership development. This blend ensures that every client benefits from a combination of impactful coaching sessions and hands-on, experiential assignments personalized to their needs. Our coaching philosophy centers on health, trust, openness, honesty, respect, and empathy. With these principles as our foundation, we remain focused on empowering clients to take back control of their careers, achieve their goals, and find fulfillment in alignment with their values.

How long does coaching take?

LFY Consulting is founded on the principles that the coaching process is not forever and that clients should reach a level of self-leadership, sustainable career fulfillment, and leadership development. The goal of the coaching programs are to develop an internal leader that can guide them throughout their life without consistent coaching.

Based on previous clients successes and other professional experiences, clients tend to develop the traits for self leadership in approximately 3-6 months. After a completed program it is common for clients to schedule individual coaching sessions on an as-needed basis or switch to a once a month support and empowerment retainer program.

Why audio coaching calls and not video or in-person?

The coaching process requires that the client and coach are in an environment free of distractions, and near a computer to review assignments and take notes regarding the current session. The audio component allows both the coach and client the focus they need to achieve the growth that is desired.

How much does coaching cost?

Individual coaching programs are personalized for each client and may differ on intensity, value, and length of programs. Investment options range from upwards of 25,000 but start at a minimum of 3,000 and increase based on length and value.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Clients who pay for their own coaching can pay in one or multiple installments depending on the program. A full or installment payment is due prior to the first session. Subsequent installment payments are made at specified sessions. Lump sum discounts are available to those that pay in one installment for longer term programs.

Why do I need coaching?

Having someone in your corner amplifies your success. A coach helps you see opportunities, overcome obstacles, and achieve more than you could on your own. If what you’re doing isn’t working, something needs to change—or you risk staying stuck in the same place. You don’t need coaching, but ask yourself: are you truly happy and content with your career right now? Coaching can be a transformative process that propels you toward your goals and desires without waiting 5, 10, or 20 years to get there. Why keep doing what isn’t working? Coaching is your opportunity to focus on yourself, to uncover what truly matters, and to take meaningful steps toward the career and life you want. It’s time to get unstuck.

What if I’m not a leader, and earlier on in my career?

Starting out in your career can feel overwhelming, especially when the traditional schooling system often overlooks practical career guidance. Many of us enter the job market without the tools we need to create a fulfilling career that aligns with our goals and values. As someone who faced similar challenges early in my journey, I understand how crucial it is to have direction, support, and confidence in building a career path that resonates. Young adults need career coaching just as much as seasoned professionals do - sometimes even more so. That’s why Dr. Benjamin Ritter is taking on select young adult clients for career coaching services. Let’s work together to create a career path that not only matches your skills and ambitions but also brings purpose and fulfillment. Find out more here

 
 

Everyone can and deserves to feel fulfilled at work and in life.
