What follows are some standard programmes and indications about hourly fees. There can be exceptions to these fees, so do phone me, Helen Harrison, on +44 (0)1453-835263 or email me at info@monkswoodassociates.co.uk.

One-to-one coaching programme

In discussion, we would put together the coaching programme that suits you.  This may include any or all of the following:

• Pre-programme work: to complete assessments (eg MBTI, FIRO-B) you can use to clarify your thinking and potentially enhance your awareness.
• Scheduled regular sessions: typically clients find it is worth getting together face-to-face (for two hours) or by phone (for one hour) for around twelve hours in total.  I have found that concentration wanes if we work for longer than one hour on the phone. ‘Meeting’ twice each month by phone or once each month face-to-face seems to suit most people. 
• Email summaries of sessions: yes, you are likely to take notes on particular aspects that are covered.  Past clients have said they valued these summaries as they reminded them of the progress they have made as well as what they are going to focus on before the next session.  Any additional afterthoughts were also appreciated.
• Urgent e-mail support:  I am delighted to give emergency support whenever I can.  I will advise you when I am unavailable for email contact. 
• Bonus time: sometimes something crops up and you need/want a bit of ‘on the spot’ coaching between sessions! Clients who want this security are invited to phone in for quick check-in sessions as and when needed.  Once more, I will say when I am unavailable for phone contact (due to holidays and the like!).
• Subscription to monthly newsletter ‘Positive Solutions’: this has potent pointers on how to make the most of themselves and others.  (Note: I’ll never disclose your private information without your permission or legal requirement – for more read our Privacy Policy)

For a corporate client, the coaching fee typically start from £150 per hour plus VAT and any travel expenses. This is subject to certain provisos.  The provisos relate to travel time and such costs as venue and refreshments. If I have to travel for more than one hour each way, I would need to discuss travel time payment (unless several people receive coaching from me on the same day at the same site).  Any other costs would also be agreed in advance. 

For an individual client, the coaching fee is normally around £75 per hour plus VAT.  This is subject to certain provisos.  The provisos relate to travel time and expenses if I have to travel for more than half-an-hour hour each way.  I presume there will be no venue or refreshment costs.

Payments will be in advance.

As I have already mentioned, it is necessary that we speak before you book – you need to determine whether I am right for you and vice versa.  Remember, you need to trust and have confidence in your coach that s/he will help you.

Team coaching programme

There are many similarities with the one-to-one coaching programme in terms of what may be included in the programme:

• Pre-programme work: to complete assessments (eg MBTI) the team can use to clarify their thinking and potentially enhance their personal awareness.
• An initial intensive session:  within two hours identify and clarify what the team want from the coaching programme, what obstacles they currently perceive are stopping them and what gifts/strengths they already recognise individually and as a team.
• Scheduled regular sessions: typically we’ll get together face-to-face for two hours once a month for six sessions.
• Email summaries of sessions: this summary will focus on the main issues.  Everyone has a consistent summary.  It will capture progress as well as what needs to be focused on before the next session.  Individual team members may have additional notes.
• Priority e-mail support:  I am delighted to give support linked to the coaching goals if it is wanted.  We would have to agree how open this information is to other team members. I will advise you when I am unavailable for email contact.
• Bonus time: sometimes something crops up and the team needs/wants a bit of ‘on the spot’ coaching between sessions!  This needs to relate to the team coaching outcomes. Clients who want this security are invited to phone in for quick check-in sessions as and when needed.  For team coaching there would need to be one person acting on behalf of the team. Once more, I will say when I am unavailable for phone contact (due to holidays and the like!).
• Subscription to monthly newsletter ‘Positive Solutions’: this has potent pointers how to make the most of themselves and others.  (Note: I’ll never disclose your private information without your permission or legal requirement – for more read our Privacy Policy)

For team coaching, the coaching fee usually starts at £215 per hour plus VAT plus travel expenses.  This is on the basis that there is only one coach and you would cover such costs as venue, equipment and refreshments.

Payments will be in advance.

Brief coaching programme

If you are looking for brief assistance about a particular area of your life, I offer such sessions.  I will work with you and/or your colleagues face-to-face to stimulate a shift and revitalise energy and/or focus. 

What this programme will include is:

• One intensive session: initially identify and clarify what the individual/group wants from the intensive session, what obstacles they currently perceive are stopping them and working practices they wish to exercise during the session.  When the outcome is clear, the most appropriate approach(es) will be employed to facilitate the desired results.
• Email summary of session: as with other coaching programmes, having a written record of the key of points that came out of the work helps recall and keeping focused on what needs attention in future. 
• Subscription to monthly newsletter ‘Positive Solutions’: this has potent pointers on how to make the most of themselves and others.  (Note: I’ll never disclose your private information without your permission or legal requirement – for more read our Privacy Policy).

For brief coaching, as a corporate client your investment would be:

half day brief session
(approx. 3.5 hours) - £470.00 (for one person)
half day brief session
(approx. 3.5 hours) - £750.00 (for 2 to 3 people)
full day brief session
(approx. 7.0 hours) - £1,250.00 (for 2 to 5 people)

plus VAT, travel expenses and other agreed expenses.

For two to five people, if the issue is best served by having two facilitators, there will be an additional cost. 

For brief coaching, as an individual client your investment would be:

Half day brief session
(approx. 3.5 hours) - £249.00 (for one person)

plus VAT and excluding any travel and other agreed expenses.

Payment will be in advance
