As The Designer Coach®, I’m passionate about guiding designers on their journey to creative fulfilment and career success. It’s a path I’ve walked myself, and one I’m excited to share with others. Along this journey, I’ve encountered a question that I’d like to address openly and honestly: “Why are your coaching prices set at this level?”
It’s a fair question, and one I’m always happy to discuss. After all, investing in coaching is a significant decision, and you deserve to understand the value behind that investment. So, let’s delve into the factors that shape my pricing and, more importantly, the transformative value you receive in return.
When you work with me, you’re not just paying for the hours we spend together. You’re tapping into over two decades of hands-on experience in the graphic design industry. My journey began as a graphic designer, where I honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of the creative process. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats – from designer to business owner, from creative director to entrepreneur.
I’ve experienced the highs of running a successful design business, navigating the complexities of client relationships, and delivering projects that pushed the boundaries of creativity. But I’ve also faced the challenges that come with entrepreneurship. I’ve learned valuable lessons from ventures that didn’t go as planned, gaining insights that can only come from firsthand experience with both success and setback.
This diverse background means I can offer insights, strategies, and solutions that come from a place of deep understanding and personal growth. Every challenge you might face, every obstacle that seems insurmountable – I’ve likely encountered similar situations in my own career and can guide you through them with empathy and practical advice.
My professional journey has been one of constant evolution and growth. From my early days as a graphic designer to my current role as a coach and entrepreneur, I’ve embraced change and sought out new challenges. Today, I balance my coaching practice with various entrepreneurial ventures, including running a successful glamping business. This experience has taught me invaluable lessons about diversification, customer experience, and adapting to changing market demands – all skills that translate directly into the world of design and creative business.
My commitment to your success is reflected in my ongoing investment in personal and professional development. Beyond my years of practical experience, I’ve obtained certifications in life coaching and NLP, and I’m continually expanding my expertise. Most recently, I’ve completed certifications in Human Design and meditation, adding powerful new tools to my coaching toolkit. This dedication to growth ensures that when you work with me, you’re not just getting a coach – you’re getting a partner who is as committed to staying current and innovative as you are. The knowledge and techniques I share evolve with our rapidly changing industry, ensuring you’re always one step ahead.
What truly sets my coaching apart is the holistic approach I bring to your creative journey. Drawing from my expertise in NLP, Human Design, and meditation, I don’t just focus on improving your design skills. We delve into the core of your creative being, addressing mindset blocks, enhancing your business acumen, and crafting a career that aligns with your deepest values and aspirations. This comprehensive approach means that the benefits of our work together extend far beyond your design portfolio. The transformations you’ll experience can positively impact your personal life, relationships, and overall well-being – a testament to the ripple effect of true creative alignment.
My coaching offerings are structured to provide you with focused, flexible support that adapts to your unique needs. From one-off sessions to comprehensive coaching packages, I offer a range of options to suit different goals and budgets. The cornerstone of my approach is the innovative bank of hours system – a concept unique in creative coaching. This system allows you to schedule sessions in a way that complements your creative rhythm and project timelines. Whether you need a quick check-in or an intensive strategy session, you have the freedom to use your coaching hours in a way that best serves your journey. This flexibility is reflected in my pricing structure, ensuring you get the most value from our time together.
When considering the price of coaching, it’s crucial to view it as an investment rather than an expense. The strategies you learn, the mindset shifts you experience, and the creative breakthroughs you achieve will continue to pay dividends long after our coaching relationship ends. Many professionals who invest in coaching report significant increases in their earning potential, the ability to attract higher-value clients, and a newfound sense of purpose and fulfilment in their work. When you factor in these long-term benefits, the initial investment often pales in comparison to the returns.
Some of the most valuable aspects of coaching are intangible. The confidence you gain, the clarity you achieve, the passion you reignite – these are priceless outcomes that can transform not just your career, but your entire life. My pricing reflects the depth of experience, continuous learning, and transformative approach I bring to each coaching relationship. It’s an investment in over 20 years of design industry experience, expertise in NLP, life coaching, Human Design, and meditation, a holistic approach that addresses both professional and personal growth, flexible, tailored support through the unique bank of hours system, and ongoing access to cutting-edge industry insights and strategies.
Ultimately, the decision to invest in coaching is deeply personal. It’s about recognising the value of your own potential and committing to its fulfilment. My prices reflect not just the time we spend together, but the cumulative value of my experience, expertise, and the transformative journey we’ll embark on together. If you’re ready to unlock your full creative potential, to cultivate a thriving career that aligns with your deepest values, and to embark on a journey of profound personal and professional growth, then I invite you to view this as an investment in your future self.
