How Sage Insights Coaching Works

The coaching done by Sage Insights Coaching is an individualized process that revolves around your needs. 

We specialize in facilitating the development of leadership skills involving the management of people and interpersonal relationships in professional life.  

We support each coaching client by partnering with you to: understand professional shortcomings, identify strengths, clarify goals, devise strategies for achieving goals, and make progress toward full goal accomplishment and the highest desired level of performance.  Because optimal performance often results only from learning new skills and leadership strategies, we work with you to assess current skill levels and to learn new approaches as needed.  The personal relationship that we develop with you allows us to monitor your growth and to see where you may simply lack confidence to move forward.  We provide needed feedback to encourage, guide, and offer direction.

We are based in Maine (U.S.) but serve clients anywhere.  Meetings are conducted conveniently by telephone for clients located around the globe, face-to-face for clients living in or visiting Maine, or they may be a mix.  Email is used to facilitate communications between coach and client as needed.

Coaching services may be contracted by individuals or businesses on a per session or retainer basis.  Sessions can be scheduled according to your needs. 

An introductory session is provided free-of-charge.  Discounts off regular rates are available to certain self-paying individuals, micro businesses (i.e., three employees or fewer), and small non-profit organizations.  Contact us for information on fees and discounts.  Fees are payable by credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express). 

Think you’re ready to get started?  Email or call us at (207) 797-4595 (9 am – 6 pm Eastern Time, Monday - Friday).
