How do I do contact Star Monde about coaching services?

Send us an email enquiries@starmonde.com.au  and we will arrange a time to have a chat to Geraldine by phone or on Skype.

During the initial conversation, you have the opportunity to ask questions and work out whether you are comfortable with Geraldine as your coach. She will discuss with you, what you want from coaching, give you some ideas on how she could meet your needs and the process involved.

What coaching arrangements may I organise?

Clients needs vary and at Star Monde we work with you to meet these needs. Coaching may be undertaken over the phone, or through Skype or face to face. Some clients work on having a package of twelve, one hour sessions over three or six months; others may require a six session package or they may want two sessions to work through a particular issue. You may make your coaching arrangements with Geraldine during the initial session.

How are the coaching sessions structured?

Before the first session, you will be sent a questionnaire to help you to prepare for the coaching experience. This is filled out and returned to your coach.

During the first session, we work on setting the goal(s) you want to achieve from coaching. This session allows us to build rapport and look at the important areas of your life or workplace.  This session usually takes about an hour and a half, other sessions are an hour.

In the following sessions, we build on your strengths to achieve the goal(s).We may explore your thinking, your behaviour and /or your feelings and how you could make changes to optimise your situation. Each session is about YOU, and while we may check in each session to see what you have accomplished and set actions for you to undertake, it is about your growth and development.

What support do I receive between sessions?

Between sessions, should you have any questions or issues you wish to discuss, you may email or ring Geraldine for a short conversation. As appropriate interesting articles, links to websites etc will be provided throughout the coaching series.

What are the payments?

Payments are usually made three sessions at a time and the overall payment will depend on the package arranged. A package of six sessions for personal/life coaching is $1 320 (AUD - GST included), a twelve session package is $2 600 (AUD - GST included). Individual sessions are $220 and other packages may be arranged.

Payments for executive and workplace coaching including group coaching are discussed and arranged separately.
