Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is a professional partnership in which we work together to clarify areas that you would like to improve and achieving your desired outcomes.

No. It is different from therapy in that we will address any obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals, but we will not engage in therapy or any psychological area that requires training and licensing.

Coaching is distinct from consulting in that I will help you come up with your own answers rather than advising/influencing you to certain decisions like a consultant.

Virtual and In-person services are provided.

(Note: In person services may incur a $10-25 fee for travel expenses greater than 5 miles out of Charlotte, NC city limits.)

Coaching is for any and everyone who can make the decision that they need professional help to improve their life in one way or another. 

Here at The Narrow Gate, LLC we recommend potential clients to consider their answers to our Client-Lifestyle Impact (CLI) questions. Whether these questions you want to answer or explore, you are a prime candidate for life coaching! 

See CLI questions below:

1. Who am I? What are my core values? What is my life's purpose?

2. How can I create or maintain my lifestyle?

3. Who supports my lifestyle choices? Who does not?

4. How can I explore the possibilities for changing community dynamics that support or restricts my lifestyle growth potential?

5. How can I be accountable to my core values and lifestyle?

6. How can I work together with my current or improved community to support my lifestyle?

7. How can I be an example to my community and future generations? 

This will vary on a case by case basis. Also largely depends on the client's desired outcomes per session and how fast the client wants to reach their goal(s).

Typically we would like at least 1-2 weeks in advance of paid life coaching sessions or consultations to take place. Life coaching complimentary sessions or consultations can happen as early as scheduling allows for both the client and life coach.

Sessions are weekly for life coaching. Consultions vary between once a month to bi-weekly. These sessions start with a 4 month commitment up to an agreed amount of time both the client and life coach deems necessary to make progress or achieve the client's desired goal(s). Packages that include both life coaching and consultations will have specific minimums and would require a renewal for additional months with the same package offerings.
