INDIVIDUAL
COACHING
Individual coaching focuses first on articulating your vision for your future self, then creating a plan to get you there. This personalized approach ensures an action plan 100% tailored to you, with a built-in accountability partner who is committed to your growth and potential. Most clients meet with Kate twice a month for between 6 to 9 months.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
​
Interested in working with me one-on-one? Individual coaching is a dynamic, personalized approach to making the changes you want to make in your life.
​
Coaching clients come to me for a wide variety of reasons, but common themes include:
- leadership approaches and strategies (especially for emerging or senior/c-suite leaders)
- career advancement and professional growth
- management and supervision (e.g., communication challenges, interpersonal workplace dynamics, etc.)
- entrepreneurship or new business (including starting a small businesses or startup, co-founders, investors, etc.)
- productivity and time management (including "work-life balance")
- self-care, self-compassion, and combatting self-doubt (e.g., imposter syndrome, anxiety, etc.)
- creating new, positive habits and/or ending old, harmful habits
- feeling "stuck" or out of alignment at work (i.e., craving harmony between passion, purpose, and career)
- navigating inequity, bias, and/or trauma in the workplace
- career transition (e.g., looking to change jobs or fields, readying for retirement, getting back into work)
- navigating the job market (e.g., resumes and cover letters, interview skills, pay negotiation, etc.)
​
All of my new coaching clients start by completing a "Discovery Questionnaire," which encourages self-reflection and helps identify and articulate the future you want to create. In our first coaching session together (which is a longer, 90-minute session), we'll go through the questionnaire and begin to put a coaching plan on paper. The coaching plan becomes our shared roadmap—a way to ensure we're headed toward your unique North Star. In subsequent sessions, we'll check in on your progress, troubleshoot areas where you're getting stuck, co-create next steps and experiments for you to try between sessions, and make adjustments to ensure you stay the course.
​
Most of my coaching engagements last between eight to twelve months, depending on each client's needs and goals. Typically, clients have two 45 to 60-minute sessions with me each month over Zoom or by phone, with the opportunity for "spot coaching" as needed in-between sessions if something emerges that needs urgent attention. All of my clients have ongoing access to me by email and text between sessions, and a private coaching portal with notes and resources.
​
My first goal is to help you figure out if I am the right coach for you. To that end, I recommend listening to my interview on the podcast "Bits of Gold," below. It will give you a good introduction to my background, coaching philosophy, and approach.
After that, if you're interested in talking with me about how coaching can be customized to meet your unique needs and goals, please book a free, 45-minute "Introduction to Coaching" call on the Book Sessions page.

Pricing + Availability
Update Oct 20, 2023:
I am currently not accepting new coaching clients. I expect to have availability for a small number of new clients in Feb/Mar 2024. Please check this page for updates. In the meantime, feel free to email me at kate@katelivingstoncoaching.com for referrals to other great coaches in my network.
For individualized coaching, I use a dynamic pricing model with a sliding scale. This makes coaching more accessible to potential clients—regardless of their financial situations. I strive to make pricing as transparent as possible. This is a values-based decision for me. I want to work with amazing people, ready to engage in the coaching relationship fully and work hard toward their personal and professional growth and development. Money should never be the reason you can't work with a coach.
​
While we will talk through your individual pricing plan before we begin coaching, the chart below gives an overview of my tiered pricing structure, as well as current availability in each tier. This information is updated regularly.
​
To be clear, no matter which payment tier you are in, every coaching client receives the same level of commitment, attention, care, and detail from me throughout our work together. There is no difference in the coaching provided. The "pay what you can "model simply means that those who can afford to pay more make it possible for me to coach those who cannot. I am so grateful to my many clients who make it possible for me to coach people who might not otherwise have access.
Tier 1
(Self-paid)
10% of my clients are in the Tier 1 range—self-paying clients paying less than $750 per month.

Tier 2

TEAM COACHING
​
I love working with teams and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your unique situation and specific needs. Many team coaching engagements also include individual coaching for each team member, which can accelerate growth and development (see "Individual Coaching," above).
​
I recommend team coaching especially during times of transition—organizational restructuring, new senior leadership, mergers and acquisitions, early-stage co-founder relationships, new strategic initiatives, etc. That said, team coaching can help at any stage of a team's growth and development, especially to establish or bolster team communication, collaboration, and trust.
​
Pricing and structure is truly customizable, so please book a free, 45-minute "Introduction to Coaching" call on the Book Sessions page so we can discuss the ideal approach. After we meet, I am happy to connect you with a previous team coaching client if you are interested in a reference or want to ask about their experience.
​
Additionally, to learn more about my background, coaching philosophy, and approach, I recommend listening to my interview on the podcast "Bits of Gold."
RETREATS
​
Individual
​
Are you craving dedicated time and space to slow down, reflect, and think about what's next? This customized format provides guided facilitation to help you identify your core values and align your goals, passion, and purpose—at work, at home, and in your wider world.
​
This format is ideal for someone who is less interested in larger group retreats or workshops, and would prefer to work with Kate one-on-one. Perhaps you have a coach already, or aren't looking for ongoing coaching at the moment, but need a boost to help you articulate your goals and make a concrete, actionable plan. An individual retreat will do just that!
​
Typically spaced over three hour-and-a-half sessions (4.5 hours total), at the end of our time together you will not only have concretely identified your area(s) of focus, but will have a roadmap for how to get there, an accountability plan to help you stay the course, and tips and tricks for how to sustain momentum.
​
Please take a look at the dedicated individual retreat page, and book a free, 45-minute "Introduction to Coaching" call on the Book Sessions page so we can discuss the ideal approach and structure for you. After we meet, I am happy to connect you with a previous retreat client if you are interested in a reference or want to ask about their experience.
​
Additionally, to learn more about my background, coaching philosophy, and approach, I recommend listening to my interview on the podcast "Bits of Gold."
Group and New Year's Retreats
In January, Kate often runs "Best Year Yet," an annual retreat to reset, refresh, and get clarity for the year ahead. There are usually two sessions, one for womxn and non-binary folks only, and one open to all gender identities. For an example of this retreat format, please visit the page for Best Year Yet: 2021.
​
If you have an existing group already (e.g., a professional affiliation, membership organization, book club, etc.) and would like to set up an annual retreat, I am happy to customize the "Best Year Yet" format to meet your needs. Just get in touch! Book a free, 45-minute "Introduction to Coaching" call on the Book Sessions page so we can discuss the ideal approach and structure for your group. After we meet, I am happy to connect you with a previous retreat client if you are interested in a reference or want to ask about their experience.

Staff, Team, and Board Retreats
​
Facilitation means "to make easy." One of the most gratifying parts of my work is transforming the usual workplace retreats and "team-building" into memorable, transformative events.
I love designing customized retreats and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your unique situation and specific needs. Pricing and structure are truly customizable, so please book a free, 45-minute "Introduction to Coaching" call on the Book Sessions page so we can discuss the ideal approach.

GROUP COACHING + WORKSHOPS
​
Throughout the year, I offer various group coaching and workshops. These are sometimes offered only to my current and past coaching clients, but often are open to anyone interested in joining.
Group coaching sessions and workshops that have been offered include topics commonly raised by my coaching clients, including: Time Management and Productivity, Approaching a Job Search, Presence and Slowing down, Boundaries, Conflict at Work, and Engaged Listening. I have also offered sessions specific to life during the pandemic, for example: Working from Home, Caring for Children During Covid-19, Caring for Elders During Covid-19, Self-Care and Compassion, Communication for Remote Teams, and Productivity During Covid-19.
​

ASSESSMENTS
​
Have you been curious about how your unique strengths and values contribute to your success—as well as your challenges—at work? What does emotional intelligence have to do with the ways you communicate with, listen to, and empathize with others? How can you better leverage these qualities to help you thrive?
​
Assessments can be an illuminating way to cultivate additional insights about yourself-—insights that can be applied to every area of your life.
​
I am certified in the EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence assessment (including the 360-degree assessment) and have extensive experience with Gallup Strengths (formerly StrengthsFinder), the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and DiSC. I also have experience with the Enneagram and Hogan. If there is an assessment you are interested in that I have less experience with, I am happy to introduce you to a coach in my network.
​
In addition, my professional background in outcomes measurement and evaluation provides me with the skills and experience to create customized assessment packages to meet your or your teams' needs. From 360-degree reviews to listening sessions, organizational culture surveys and focus groups, I can gather the data you need to help you make informed, data-driven decisions.
​
Please book a free, 45-minute "Introduction to Coaching" call on the Book Sessions page so we can discuss the ideal approach. After we meet, I am happy to connect you with a previous client if you are interested in a reference or want to ask about their experience with assessments.
