Coaching is all about YOU. It’s 100% focused on your dreams, ambitions, and goals.

Coaching on all things career, leadership, and business

Most of us want more out of life and work. We want meaning and to feel good about our contributions. Yet many of us ask big questions in silence. We grapple with big, scary, complex stuff alone. And, there is another way!

We’ve been able to help our clients to...
➕Build confidence and people skills necessary to lead authentically
➕Have clarity about their career ambitions and go for them
➕Secure new jobs and start side hustles (yes, even in 2020 and beyond)
➕Find the confidence to ask for what they want resulting in promotions, raises, and increased workplace flexibility
➕Confidently say no to distractions so they can say yes to opportunities
➕Have candid, transformative conversations at work
➕Make values-aligned choices in work and life
➕Use their strengths at work and have a bigger impact

Who We Coach

We specialize in coaching leaders at three key points in their journeys:

Getting Started

Are you new to leading people, teams, and/or projects? Perhaps you’ve just taken on an expanded role with greater responsibility including more direct reports. Perhaps you’re leading people for the first time! This is an exciting time with a steep learning curve. You’ve come to the right place for unbiased and unrelenting support and guidance.

Leveling Up

Have you been leading for a bit and are now feeling the pull to learn, grow, and expand as a person and as a leader? Perhaps you’re looking for a greater challenge, experiencing boredom, or you’re ready to have a greater impact and scope as a leader. This is a fantastic time to partner with a coach to identify and actualize opportunities.

Change is a constant, and that doesn’t make it any easier. Whether you’re thinking about making a transition in your own career, implementing a new initiative on your team, or navigating change on your team, going through the journey with support is invaluable. Change is hard - don’t go it alone.

Options for Coaching

  • 1:1 Coaching

    We believe that every person deserves the opportunity design the career and life of their dreams. 1:1 coaching is a highly effective way to set, reach, and stay accountable to your goals and intentions. Keep reading this page for more information about what 1:1 coaching with A Better Monday looks like.

  • Coaching for Teams

    Being on a team can be a rewarding, growth-filled experience…and it can also be challenging, hard, and energy-draining. The good news? It doesn’t have to be. Team Coaching is a highly impactful way for teams to improve their inner workings so they can get more work done better.

  • Focus Retreats

    Coaching sessions, while effective, go by very quickly. Sometimes, we all just want more time and energy to make progress in one sitting. If this sounds like you, Focus Retreats are for you! They’re a highly popular option these days. Visit our Focus Retreats page to learn more.

  • Leader Strategic Advising

    Leading is more nuanced than ever. And, it can be very lonely. Making tough calls without a sounding board can be hard to put it lightly. And, you don’t have to go it alone. In Advising, we’ll get in it with you, acting as a thought partner, sounding board to help you think through the toughest of calls with grace.

FAQs

  • Great question. The purpose of coaching is to move forward - whatever that means to you. So, we start with the end in mind.

    Fast forward to the end of our time working together. What’s new for you? What does it feel like? How will you know you’ve achieved what you wanted? How are you different?

    The rest of our sessions are centered around what you need to get to what you most want. You can expect that we’ll both challenge and support you along the way.

  • One of our core beliefs is that we can all (yes, you!) can lead from any seat. No matter your job title, it is possible to tap into your agency and lead within the scope of your role. Additionally, leaders is not just synonymous with work to us. We work with people who identify as leaders in many senses of the word - leaders in their families, communities, places of learning, as well as workplaces and businesses.

  • Great question! Our Founder Amanda is working to build a collective of partner coaches so that you have a range of coaches with a range of lived experiences, interests, and more. In our initial call, we’ll discuss options! Our current coaching team is Amanda and Sarah (info about us above).

  • Here’s what you get in coaching with our Founder Amanda. (Our partner coaches offer similar packages with some nuance.)

    8, 10, or 12 coaching sessions (phone or Zoom - your choice). The first session is a 80 minute deep dive into you. We call this an Hour One. All other sessions are 50 minutes.

    A custom built discovery package comprised of insight-revealing questionnaire designed especially for you. This intentional time helps you to begin to think deeply, reflect, explore, and understand what’s true for you today before you ever step foot into your first coaching session.

    In-session exercises to help you explore your identity, what you care about, what you’re really good at, what’s holding you back, and what would be possible if nothing was in your way.

    Optional start-of-session meditations to help you get grounded in the session.

    Intentional growth work in between sessions to deepen learning and make it stick, including journaling prompts, podcast recommendations, and more.

    Email support in-between sessions because life happens in between coaching sessions.

    A completion session to help you reflect back and chart your course forward.

  • That’s understandable. It’s natural to want to feel seen, heard, and understood — especially by your coach. I have experience with the following: starting a small business, running a side hustle, leading a team, managing transitions and change, hiring, nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, tech companies, start-ups, working in the education sector, inclusion and belonging, the experience of being a woman in leadership, navigating my LGBTQ+ identity at work and in life, learning to prioritize my needs, and more. If you’re curious about my experience in a particular area that’s important to you, please feel free to ask. (Check back soon for more on our partner coach team!)

  • We have worked with a variety of coaching clients including Executive Directors, Development Directors, high-potential talent, Recruiters, people in career transition, new managers, seasoned managers, Sales Leaders, Consultants, Leaders in EdTech, Healthcare Leaders, Small Business Owners, Solopreneurs, and more. Our approach tends to resonate most with women, though we work with clients across the gender spectrum. We work with clients across sectors, tenures, and levels in their organizations.

    In general, our coaching resonates most with go-getters who make things happen, and have experienced success, but are now at an inflection point that is bringing up doubt, confusion, or lack of confidence. And, despite the moment of challenge, they are ready to do the work to move forward in their work and leadership.

  • A direct quote from a current client: Collaborative, engaging, coming from a place of curiosity and encouragement. My approach is influenced by my studies in psychology, inclusive leadership, core energy coaching, learning & development, trauma-informed coaching, and effective team leadership and is a mix of head and heart.

  • In addition to coaching individuals, we also offer team coaching, and org-sponsored coaching engagements for leaders (6 months+). Reach out to Amanda for more information!

Our Pricing

Economic justice and creating more access to the benefits of coaching are incredibly important to us. As of January 2021, we are pleased to offer sliding scale pricing and payment plans for individual coaching. This comes from a deep desire to create more access points for folks interested in coaching who may not have been traditionally able to do so in the past. Additionally, our commitment is to continue to create offerings to support those who would experience significant hardship in accessing individual coaching packages.

If what you see does not work for you or have questions, please reach out! Let’s figure it out together.

Sliding Scale

  • $225 - $400/session - This range reflects the full value of a single 50 minute coaching session. This range is for those who are comfortably able to meet all of their basic needs and have expendable income.

  • $150 - $224/session - This range is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for coaching may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.

  • If coaching will create significant hardship for you, please reach out. Significant hardship might mean you are experiencing unemployment or underemployment, have no access to savings, have little to no expendable income, hold significant debt that prevents you from meeting basic needs.

Once you determine which range is most aligned with your current reality, I’ll clarify package prices - based on your rate - for you. If you need support in determining where you fall on the sliding scale, please use the chart below.

NOTE: All of our partner coaches also offer coaching on a sliding scale. Sliding scales may differ slightly.
