Practical information.
Prices
The initial consultation is free. We both need to feel we can work together successfully. After that, one hour sessions are packaged to meet your needs in blocks of five, ten, or more. We can also agree to work together for a specific period of time with unlimited sessions.
Most clients start out by meeting with me once a week. As we progress, some like to spread their sessions out with more time between meetings. I am very flexible and want you convinced that our time together is well spent
Locations
Meetings can take place at my office, by phone, or by Skype. My clients and I also frequently communicate by email. I am happy to work in whatever way suits you best.
Insurance
Typically, my services are not covered by insurance. Consult your accountant about deducting the cost from your income taxes given that our discussions relate to a board or job search or your career.
CONFIDENTIALITY
I won’t share your name, address, personal information or the nature of our work with any individual or company without your explicit permission.
MISSED SESSIONS
I reserve time for your appointment, so if you can’t make it or need to change the time, please let me know no later than 24 hours in advance. If you don’t inform me, you will be charged for the session.
“I recently had the good fortune to work with Joan. I found her to be incredibly insightful, unfailingly cheerful, yet absolutely direct and to the point. She seems to have an instinctive ability to get to the heart of complex issues, to balance multiple dimensions of situations, and to insure that the most critical topics stay front and center where they belong.
She is one of these gifted individuals who can instinctively crystallize many seemingly contradictory concepts into a single central theme, and deliver her thoughtful analyses with unsurpassed graciousness. Joan is truly in the top drawer, and I’m delighted to provide my highest recommendation without reservation.”
