Sounding Board Service

Are you stuck?

Do you need a fresh perspective?

Use me as your Sounding Board.

A Sounding Board: when one person listens intently and provides feedback to another person, they can provide perspective that otherwise would not be available through introspection.

When I act as your Sounding Board I am not acting as a traditional counsellor, a personal coach or life coach. If you find the results useful you may at some point want to consult me again but there is no need to do so.

This is not therapy!

How it works

A typical session usually lasts 30 minutes to one hour. Some sessions have taken as long as one and half hours.

We work together over the phone.

Although we typically work over the telephone or using Skype, I have done sessions sitting with clients in a comfortable environment such as a park or a coffee shop.

You talk and I listen.

As you talk:

  • I may ask questions.
     
  • I may make observations.
     
  • I may make suggestions.
     
  • I may say something to you that will really tick you off and get your juices flowing
     

I have found for myself, and others, that as I talk about what is on my mind with regard to a project or trying to make a decision that I often provide myself with my own answer as I talk with someone and they listen to me.

What I need from you

I find that the Sounding Board process works best when I know something about you and your life. The following are helpful:

  • A recent copy of your resume
     
  • your date of birth
     
  • your place of birth
     
  • your marital status, name of spouse / partner
     
  • do you have kids? And if so how many, ages and so forth
     
  • do you have brothers and sisters? If yes how many, ages and so forth
     

I ask for this information before hand so we don’t waste our time together with basic fact gathering.

What it costs

My rate is: $87 per 30 minutes or part thereof.

Pay What You Can

I operate on a Pay What You Can basis.

If money is truly an issue for you then pay me what you can.

Unconditional Guarantee

If you found our session together totally useless from your perspective then don’t pay me anything.

It is my experience that the Laws of Karma apply here.
