You can then try a Sample Session to “experience” coaching first hand. Bette Watson-Borg offers free and completely confidential 45 minute Sample Sessions to be scheduled at a time and date of your convenience (and with no further obligation required).

How Does Coaching Work When the Employer Is Paying?
The coach will convene with the employer (the sponsor) to understand what the goals are for the coaching. With the goals established, the coach will convene with the sponsor and the client to co-create an understanding of the goals and how they will be measured. Once the coaching starts, all content is confidential between the coach and client. It is only the client who has the right to share any content with the sponsor and only as agreed at the front end.
