Application for Coaching

Thank you for your interest in working with me. This application is how we find out whether that work is a fit — for you, and for me.

Please read this before you begin: submitting this application does not reserve a place. I read every application myself, and I decide whether to invite you to a conversation. If I believe the work is not the right fit, I will say so plainly — and where I can, point you toward something better suited. Completing this form is a request for help, not a guarantee of it.

Everything you write here is confidential. It is read by me, and only me.

This is coaching, not therapy. A different tool, for a different job.

You

Your nameFull name.Email addressWhere I will reach you.Phone numberWhere are you located? (city, state/province, country)How did you hear about this work?The letter, a referral, the book, a search — whatever it was.

Background details

These help me understand the full picture of you and your circumstances.

I use this the same way I use everything else here — as part of how I actually get to know you, not as paperwork.

Date of birth (month, day, year)Time of birthAs close as you can get. Your birth certificate, a baby book, or a parent's memory are the usual sources. If you can only find an approximation, write what you know.Place of birth (city, state/province, country)

The reason you're here

In your own words, what brings you to this application? What are you seeking help with?Write it plainly. There is no wrong answer and no way to impress me here — the honest version is the useful one.What decision, situation, or pattern is in front of you right now? Describe it: what is on the table, what is at stake, and what happens if nothing changes.What have you already tried, and what did it cost you?Courses, books, other coaches, advice, more information, more time. What you reached for first, and whether it worked.If this work succeeds, what would be different six months from now? Be concrete.

Fit and logistics

Which program, if any, were you drawn to?If you're not sure, say so. Not knowing yet is a fine answer — part of the first conversation is working that out together.When could you begin, and what does your weekly availability look like?Is there anything I should know that would affect our working together?(schedule, commitments, anything at all)

What happens next

I read every application. Within a few days, one of two things happens:

I invite you to a conversation — a short call to see if we're a fit for each other, and to work out where to begin.
I reply to say this isn't the right fit right now — and, where I can, point you toward something better suited.

Either way, you will hear from me. No application sits unanswered.
