Frequently Asked Questions
Transparent answers about how professional coaching works, the distinction between coaching and other modalities, investment details, and what to expect in partnership.
Coaching Scope & Modalities
While therapy focuses on healing past trauma or mental health treatment, and mediation focuses on resolving specific disputes between separating parties, professional coaching is a future-focused, collaborative partnership. It is designed to maximize your personal and professional potential, enhance leadership presence, and navigate career or life transitions.
Conflict coaching provides a confidential, structured space to unpack high-stakes interpersonal challenges. We work together to map communication triggers, practice interest-based framing, utilize de-escalation tools, and establish clear professional boundaries before you step into difficult workplace or personal negotiations.
No. Operating from the foundational premise that you are creative, resourceful, and whole, professional coaching uses powerful inquiry and active listening rather than advising. We partner in thinking so your own inner wisdom, clarity, and agency take the lead.
Investment, Format & Logistics
Professional coaching sessions are billed at a transparent rate of $120.00 CAD per hour, tracked in clean 15-minute increments. Payments are securely made in advance via Interac e-transfer to virginiadavis1981@gmail.com.
Coaching is entirely flexible based on your developmental needs. Some clients engage for a single 60-minute discovery session to resolve an acute hurdle, while others commit to a bi-weekly monthly rhythm to sustain long-term career and leadership growth.
Coaching sessions are conducted virtually via secure Zoom video or phone. You will receive a private meeting link in advance and should attend from a quiet, confidential space where you can speak freely without third-party interruption.
Ethics & Confidentiality
Yes. Aligned with International Coaching Federation (ICF) ethical standards, all coaching conversations, materials, and records are held in strict confidence. Standard legal safety exceptions apply, including imminent risk of physical harm or mandatory protection reporting obligations.
A minimum of 2 business days (48 hours) notice is required to cancel or reschedule any coaching session. Sessions missed or cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will be billed at the standard hourly rate for the reserved time.
