FAQ

What is the difference between Coaching, Therapy and Consulting?

Coaching tends to focus on how the present moment can lead us to a brighter future, and engages us in an accountability partnership with a supportive ally, who helps us reach our goal, dream or desire by the use of skillful Socratic methodological questioning.

Therapy enables us to use a variety of modalities to explore how our past is impacting our present, and change our future with the help of processing and integration of experience. Psychotherapists have specific training to enable them to address traumatic experience, known and unknown to the client. Certified Coach training does not delve into these arenas, and should you have these types of experiences arise in the coaching process, your coach is likely to suggest you seek out further professional support.

Consultants are experts in their fields, who are in the business of offering their expertise to support better future outcomes for their clients. Most Coaches also have such expertise in a variety of arenas, but it does not come under the auspicious of their Coaching Practice. It is a separate function of their business.

How many sessions will it take to reach my goal?

That, of course, depends on a lot of factors. But most people notice significant increase in clarity and motivation within two to six sessions.

How can I pay for my sessions?

You can pay via Venmo or Zelle in the US. Internationally based clients may use PayPal for a 5% service fee. You will receive more details on this upon booking your first session.

How do I reach Nancie?

After you have scheduled an appointment, you will receive a follow-up message that contains that information. At your appointed time, you may call her via phone, FaceTime, WhatsApp. Skype is available via her Skype handle: nanciedi

At the time of your session, please call in. Nancie will be waiting for your call. If you give her a phone number in the notes when you schedule, she will usually message you when she is waiting to connect. If you forget to do this, she will likely email you the first time, and for future sessions text message a minute or so before the session is scheduled to begin.

What kind of goals can I work on?

Nancie likes to begin the coaching process by addressing beliefs, values, and attitudes, and while clarifying these arenas, move into the specifics of goals. Often, the only reason we haven’t already achieved our dreams is lack of alignment or misalignment, between our head, our heart and our actions toward our dreams. When these realities are faced, any goal can become the focus: from wellness mindset (healthier eating or integration of exercise and/or meditation), to lifestyle changes (like I want to move or retire, where should I do that?) to career upgrades (a promotion or work environment change) or improved emotional intelligence (improving relationships, reducing personal drama).
