Book your free chemistry call today!

A "chemistry call" is an initial, informal meeting between a coach and a prospective client to determine whether they are a good fit for each other.

It's an opportunity for us both to assess compatibility, establish rapport, and clarify expectations before entering a formal coaching relationship.

During this call, we might discuss:

• Your goals and challenges.
• My style, approach, and methods.
• The structure of the coaching program (e.g. frequency of sessions, duration, costs).
• Any specific questions or concerns you have.
• Whether you feel comfortable and aligned in working together.

The primary goal is to see if "chemistry" or a mutual connection is essential for effective coaching.

If we feel aligned, then we can formalise the coaching relationship. If not, we can go our separate ways with no hard feelings, but I am positive you will enjoy our conversation.

While a chemistry call is typically informal and exploratory, it can be helpful for you to prepare a few things in advance to make the conversation more productive. Here are some suggestions for what you might prepare:

1. Clarify Your Goals: Have a general idea of what you want to achieve from coaching. Whether it’s career development, growth, or overcoming specific challenges, articulating your goals will help me understand how I might assist you.

2. Reflect on Current Challenges: Think about the main areas of your life or career that are causing you difficulty. You don’t need to have all the answers, but knowing where you need help can guide the conversation.

3. Questions for the Coach: Prepare any questions about my style, background, or approach. You might ask:

• What is your coaching philosophy?
• How do you measure progress?
• How long do sessions last?

4. Be Ready to Discuss Logistics: You might need to talk about things like session frequency, format (e.g., in-person, virtual), and pricing. It’s good to know your preferences or constraints ahead of time.

5. Be Open-Minded: Come with an open attitude. The chemistry call is a chance to explore possibilities and get a feel for the coaching relationship, so being open to new perspectives can be helpful.

This preparation will allow you to maximize the call and ensure it's as productive as possible.

Yes, it is. 

The call will last approximately 15 minutes. During this, we'll explore our ability to work together and ensure you are ready to move forward.

The 1:1 coaching, accelerators, and other services are chargeable, which will be discussed during our call and before you decide to purchase.

1. Assessing Fit and Comfort

The chemistry call allows you to gauge whether you feel comfortable working with me. Coaching is often a personal and vulnerable process, so it's esseit'sl that you feel at ease and trust me. The call also helps gauge whether there's alignment in communication style.

2. Understanding my Approach

Coaches can differ in their methods, frameworks, and philosophies. The chemistry call allows you to understand my style, approach, and how I typically structure sessions. This helps you decide if my approach resonates with your needs and preferences.

3. Clarifying Expectations and Goals

During the call, you can review your goals and expectations, which we can discuss. I might help refine those goals, offering insights into what's worth taking forward and suggesting a potential roadmap for success. This can give you confidence that I understand your needs.

4. Exploring the Coaching Program

You can get specific information about the coaching structure, including session frequency, duration, and the overall program outline. Understanding the time and financial commitment upfront helps you decide whether it fits into your lifestyle and budget.

5. Discussing Personal Challenges

A chemistry call provides a safe space to discuss their challenges and see how the potential coach responds. My initial feedback or questions can demonstrate how I might guide you through those challenges, helping you feel more confident.

6. No Obligation

A chemistry call is free and carries no obligation to commit. It lets you explore options before investing more time and money in a coaching program.

7. Building Trust and Confidence

The call helps build a foundation of trust. By discussing your situation and hearing how I plan to help, you can feel reassured and more confident that our journey together will deliver value.

Below are some ideas for what to ask during the call. This list is not exhaustive, so it's worth thinking in advance. There may be questions you think of during our conversation, and that's fine, too. 

• Prepare any questions about my style of coaching, background, or approach.
• What is your coaching philosophy?
• How do you measure progress?
• How long do sessions last?
• Is there support between sessions? 
• What is expected of me outside of sessions?
• What's the difference between coaching, mentoring and therapy?
• Can I choose the frequency of the sessions? 
• Will there be handouts/workbooks?
