Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What Is Coaching?
Coaching is a process where a coach supports a client in achieving specific personal or professional goals through guidance, support, and feedback plus accountability. It involves a partnership where the coach helps the client explore their potential and identify areas for improvement, rather than directly teaching you or providing ready-made solutions for you. Coaching focuses on helping individuals learn, grow, and maximise their own performance.
Is Coaching a Type of Therapy?
No. If you think you require therapy, please get in touch with a professional therapist.
Will Coaching Sessions be Recorded?
Sessions or parts of them may be recorded upon request.
Are We Meant to Do All the Work During the Sessions?
No. There will also be homework tasks provided at the end of the sessions.
Will This Work for Introverts?
This is built for them.
Am I a Guinea Pig?

Can I Not Just Use Self-help Resources Like Books, Podcasts or YouTube Videos?

Will This Help Me to Speak Up When It Matters?
Yes, absolutely. This is designed for high-stakes business conversations.
What If I Do Not Want to Sound Aggressive?
That is the point: calm authority, not loud confidence.
What Is An Example Of Assertive Speech?
Assertive speech clearly communicates personal needs while respecting others. It is often used for expressing feelings, making requests, setting boundaries, handling disagreement and addressing conflict. It is direct and firm but also polite. An example is saying no without guilt.
How Do I Know If I Am Assertive?
Assertive individuals confidently express their feelings, needs and opinions directly and honestly while respecting others, maintaining a self-assured yet respectful balance. Key signs include setting firm boundaries e.g. saying no without guilt, active listening, using I statements and seeking compromises. They are not passive or aggressive but rather clear about their intentions and comfortable advocating for themselves.
Is it Normal If This Feels Overwhelming At First?
Yes. Do not worry. Confusion means you are learning at the right layer. This is very normal if things are new to you. Revision, repetition and practice will help.
Who Hires an Assertiveness Coach?
Everyone who wants to be more assertive, and more successful in business and in life. Particularly, YOU – because you are smart and you want to improve your skill set and communicate with confidence. You are determined to move forward on your entrepreneurial journey, and you are committed to take action.
What are your Prices?

Do I Need Special Equipment to Join an Online Coaching Session?
You can join using a desktop computer, laptop or mobile device.
What is an Assertive Voice?
An assertive voice is a style of communication that is direct, honest and firm, while remaining respectful of others. It involves using a calm, steady tone, maintaining confident body language and expressing personal needs or opinions without being aggressive, passive or apologetic. It balances standing up for oneself with acknowledging others’ views.
Is Being Assertive A Good Thing?
Yes, of course. Being assertive is generally a very good thing, as it represents a balanced communication style neither passive nor aggressive that fosters self-esteem, reduces stress and builds mutual respect in relationships. It allows individuals to clearly express needs and set boundaries, which improves productivity and helps resolve conflicts effectively.
Is This Not Just a Mindset Issue?
No. It is practice and feedback in your real scenarios.
How Much Time Will This Take?
Not much. Plan about 3 hours per week, for the session, reflection and homework tasks.
What Makes This Different?
This is about YOU. We use modern approaches to guide you towards your desired outcome.
Why Is This So Expensive?
You are paying for the expertise and experience of the coach. Your money is worth investing in your future.
What Separates People Who Succeed From Those Who Do Not?
Willingness to work with a coach or mentor. Self-awareness, clarity about what they want and need in terms of goals and a vision, internal alignment and courage to take action and to take the first step, consistency in implementation of proven strategies, lots of practice to gain experience and feedback, accountability, resilience in the face of adversity, abundance mindset, continuous learning and improvement and a never give up attitude.
