FAQ

Who will I be working with?

You will be working with a member of our highly experienced non-profit coaching team. Each coach draws on their professional experience, management and leadership skills, training, and education.

I’m already so busy. Won’t this just add one more thing to my plate?

There is minimal prep work required for coaching sessions! During your first session, your coach will guide you through some thought exercises that will help you identify your particular areas of strength and areas for development, along with some short- and medium-term goals.

Coaching supports the work you’re doing. Most people find that coaching helps them to work through challenges, gain clarity about what to focus on, and develop their ability to prioritize what’s most important so they can work smarter, not harder.

That said, coaching does require your commitment to the process. To get the best out of your sessions, we encourage you to come ready with an idea of the issues and/or questions you’d like to talk through. Many people find that it’s helpful to take note of questions that come to mind between sessions.

We encourage you to be open and transparent. In turn, your coach will ask questions to push your thinking, support your development, build accountability, and celebrate your successes.

What will we talk about?

We are happy to open the discussion related to professional situations, scenarios, or challenges you are experiencing. We can act as a sounding board for ideas, help you strategize, and guide you with strategic coaching questions.

If you are receiving coaching related to a specific training program (such as Laridae’s Management Training Program), then the coaching sessions will typically involve follow-up on the most recent training modules, provide an opportunity to revisit elements of the earlier sessions, and look at how your learnings might impact your work.

From time to time, we are asked to comment or advise on technical issues relating to HR, law, or accounting. We can provide best practice guidance from a management consulting perspective, but we may recommend that you seek formal guidance from qualified subject matter experts.

When will the sessions be conducted?

Your coach will work with you to book based on availability and times that work for both of you. Sessions can also be rescheduled if needed with 48-hours notice.
