Coaching Packages
Coaching packages, frequency, discounts, assessments, fulfillment, & terms
Coaching programs are offered in packages consisting of a select quantity of sessions rather than a required number of sessions per month, thereby allowing the client to schedule sessions as often or as infrequently as they prefer (although it is recommended that sessions be conducted at least twice per month). The minimum number of sessions is 4, with additional packages offered in quantities of 6, 8, or 12 sessions (the more sessions purchased and paid for in advance, the lower the cost per session). Clients who choose to re-enroll may do so for as few as 3 sessions at a time; yet it is recommended that they take advantage of Michael's re-enrollment discounts and commit to at least six. Discounts are also extended to referrals, as well as to those whom refer new clients.
Coaching calls are conducted approximately every 10 days, however, many clients prefer one call per week - while others prefer one every 2 weeks. When starting out, it is recommended that the client schedule a call at least every 10 days until momentum is achieved before dropping back to twice per month, if at all. It is also recommended that clients commit to at least 6 sessions, although this depends upon the outcome(s) they are looking to achieve.
After the initial “touch-base / get-acquainted” call, clients shall be required to complete a 4-page Questionnaire, detailing the outcome(s) they intend to achieve. Clients will also receive access to Michael’s proprietary AFFED-CHASER personality assessment, which includes a highly-descriptive 10 page, customized report, which will be analyzed and explained in an empowering manner during one of the clients initial coaching sessions. Therefore, the client will be required to complete the 32-question profile prior to the first coaching call. As a bonus, Michael’s clients will be entitled to share a select quantity of additional AFFED assessments (proportional to quantity of sessions booked) with family members or business associates, thereby providing valuable insight into the various dynamics at play between the client and those with whom they interact most often (additional assessments will be available to active clients at a considerable discount).
Michael is committed to providing maximum value while supporting each client to achieve their outcome(s) as rapidly as possible – and leaves it fully up to the client to express when and to what degree this value is being realized. Therefore, there are NO long-term contracts nor formal agreements required, as the client is free to declare at which point they have achieved their outcome(s) - whether or not they have completed all of their pre-paid sessions. Although the vast majority of clients choose to complete their packages (and often re-enroll even after they’ve accomplished their initial objectives), should a client achieve their outcome before they have completed all of their sessions - or are otherwise inclined not to continue - then any remaining sessions will be refunded on a pro-rated basis (adjusted to the full-price/per-session cost, based on the number of sessions that were actually fulfilled).
A typical private coaching session lasts from 35 to 40 minutes. Although first calls may last 45 to 50 minutes. Clients are expected to initiate each call at a pre-agreed-upon time and are responsible for being prompt. If the client is unable to make the call, 24 hour advance notice is requested. Should the client not have an unlimited long-distance calling plan, Michael is willing to call the client back (domestic private clients only).
98% of coaching is conducted via phone, as Michael coaches clients all over the world! For best results, it is suggested that the client call from a land line and from a location where they may enjoy privacy and be able to take notes. For clients who live in Southern California and desire to be coached in person, special arrangements may me made.
AFFED Personality Profile Coaching - Although Michael's AFFED Behavioral Analysis Report is fairly self-explanatory, there are several inherent distinctions and subtleties, which, when explained more thoroughly, provide respondents with an even greater level of understanding. Therefore, MIchael not only examines these distinctions as part of his standard coaching and consultilng programs, but also offers a stand-alone AFFED coaching package*, which is specifically designed to empower an individual (or an entire team of individuals) in the workplace.
