What People Are Saying

"I have been working with Clare for over two years now, and she has been an amazing coach. One of the things I love most about working with Clare is her ability to make me feel empowered to live my values (and be myself) while continuously progressing in my career. Whether dealing with short-term questions or long-term goals, I always walk away from our sessions with actionable steps that I feel I can deploy and see results from. Our meetings are very productive, lively, and, most importantly, fun!"

—a senior executive at a global financial corporation

“Clare has been an invaluable partner, teacher, confidante, and steadfast supporter. Thanks to her guidance and the exercises I learned from her, I’ve become more mindful of how my emotions can influence my behaviors and actions—and how I can better manage their impact. What I appreciate most is her ability to model the kind of nonjudgmental self-examination we all need to cultivate. It inspires me to keep striving for greater self-awareness and to be ‘open to outcomes, not attached to outcomes.’ I’m now looking to strike out on my own and start a new business—something I never could’ve imagined doing before I worked with Clare.”

—a veteran writer, editor, and content strategist

“I am thriving! Clare's coaching helped me discover my technical opinion and confidence. I am so very grateful to her. I know that I did the work, but she is the one who pulled it out of me. This confidence and the skills she taught me have helped my career dramatically, and led to my promotion. I will sing her praises to anyone who will listen!”

-a corporate engineer


  • The length of an executive coaching engagement can vary depending on the your needs, goals, and the complexity of the issues being addressed. However, a typical executive coaching engagement often lasts between 6 to 12 months.

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    1. Short-term engagements: These may last 3-6 months and are often focused on specific, well-defined goals or challenges.

    2. Standard engagements: The most common duration is 6-9 months. This timeframe usually allows for meaningful change and development to occur.

    3. Long-term engagements: Some coaching relationships extend to 12 months or beyond, especially when addressing complex leadership challenges or facilitating significant organizational change.

    4. Ongoing support: After the initial engagement, some executives choose to continue with less frequent "maintenance" sessions.

    It's important to note that the duration is flexible and can be adjusted based on progress and emerging needs. We typically start with an initial commitment of 6 months, with the option to extend if both parties feel it would be beneficial.

    The length of the engagement is determined collaboratively between the coach, the executive, and often the sponsoring organization. We conduct regular check-ins to assess progress and determine if adjustments to the timeline are needed.

    Remember, sustainable change and development take time. While some insights and improvements may be immediate, implementing new behaviors and seeing their impact often requires several months of consistent effort and practice.
