How We Work:

Coaching & Mentoring:

  • Every coaching or mentoring relationship at RCH begins with connection and clarity. When you reach out, we’ll ask for a brief description of what you’re hoping to explore or achieve. From there, we’ll schedule an initial intake session to better understand your goals, context, and how you define success.

    During this first meeting, we’ll walk you through our approach to coaching and mentoring, how they differ from each other, and how they might show up together in your journey. We'll explore whether executive coaching, mentoring, or organizational development consulting, or a mix of these, will be most effective for you.

    Together, we’ll co-create a working agreement that includes goals, expectations, timelines, ground rules, and a schedule that works for your life. This is a relationship built on mutual trust and transparency, and it starts from day one.

  • Coaching and mentoring at RCH is a dynamic, collaborative process — structured enough to be goal-driven, flexible enough to meet you where you are. Sessions are shaped by your priorities and guided by your coach or mentor’s insight and respectful inquiry.

    Topics may include real-time challenges, reflections on personal or professional experiences, feedback from assessments, or strategic planning for the future. Some sessions will be wide open and focused on real-time professional challenges. Others may introduce frameworks or focus areas based on your goals. In every session, we create a confidential, supportive space where you can reflect, reframe, and take action.

    Progress isn’t just tracked—it’s explored. Together, we’ll set goals, monitor your growth, and adjust your path as needed. And while the process is supportive, it’s also designed to stretch you. We’ll celebrate progress, unpack obstacles, and hold space for honest reflection. Your coach will challenge you when necessary, always with your development at the center.

    In all sessions, we build a confidential, professional space predicated on mutual trust. Your coach or mentor will listen with respect, offer thoughtful and constructive feedback, and uphold clear boundaries that we set together. If any issues arise, whether related to confidentiality, conflicts of interest, or changing needs, we will address them directly and transparently.

  • While each client’s journey is unique, we typically recommend a six-month engagement to support meaningful and lasting growth. Around the halfway point, we take time to reflect, evaluate your progress, and refine your goals to ensure they continue to align with your evolving needs.

    During the final three months, many clients begin to experience a shift. Insights deepen, confidence builds, and new ways of thinking and leading start to take root. You’ll begin applying what you’ve learned in real-world situations, supported by your coach or mentor as you navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and stay grounded in your values.

    By the end of our work together, you can expect greater clarity about your purpose and direction. You’ll leave with practical strategies to address the challenges ahead, a stronger sense of identity and self-efficacy as a leader, and tools you can rely on long after the coaching relationship concludes. Whether you’ve chosen coaching, mentoring, or a combination of both, our goal remains the same: to help you create meaningful change and sustain it with purpose and confidence.

Organizational Consulting:

  • Are you interested in learning more about our values-aligned consulting services?  Contact us and provide a brief description of what you’re hoping to work on together. We’ll set an initial intake meeting to better understand your needs and ensure that your goals and expectations align with our approach. We will then develop a proposal that outlines our programs that will help support the changes you are seeking, which may include a pathway of executive coaching, thorough organizational development consulting, or both. During this first meeting, we will discuss the RCH approach to consulting and your goals for the program, along with collaboratively developing a schedule, timeline and ground rules for the sessions.

  • When RCH Consulting partners with your organization our goal is to understand your project’s unique needs, align with your organizational values, and set a cadence for our work that ensures consistent progress and momentum on a specific project or initiative. Whether the engagement spans a few months or longer, we’ll design a flexible plan that adapts to the evolving nature of your organization and project, ensuring all stakeholders remain aligned and focused .Lastly, we will establish a clear agreement that outlines the scope, objectives, timeline, and fees for the project.

  • Our consulting approach centers on your project’s strategic goals while staying true to your organization’s values. We dive deep into your project’s unique challenges, guiding your team through complex decisions, fostering collaboration, and building consensus among key stakeholders. Each session may address a wide range of topics, from strategic planning and resource allocation to team dynamics and stakeholder communication. Throughout our work together, we maintain a focus on practical solutions that are grounded in your organization’s core principles. We'll work alongside your team, providing insights and strategies to help you navigate obstacles, adapt to changes, and maintain momentum.

  • From kickoff to completion, we work in close partnership with you to ensure that every phase of your project is executed effectively. We help you identify potential risks, optimize processes, and implement strategies that align with your organization's goals. Regular check-ins keep us agile, allowing us to address emerging challenges and make necessary adjustments. As the project progresses, our focus is on driving results that are sustainable and impactful, ensuring that your team is equipped to carry forward the momentum long after our engagement ends.

  • We know that sustainable change starts with alignment, and our approach is designed to create immediate impact while building long-term capacity. We work to ensure that every strategy and action is aligned with your organization’s values, fostering a culture of ownership and accountability. By combining deep expertise with a commitment to your mission, we provide tailored solutions that not only address your current needs but also enhance your team’s ability to lead future initiatives with confidence and clarity. This values-aligned approach ensures lasting success and meaningful change.

The Fine Print:

Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest arises when an individual’s obligation is challenged by other interests, to include but not limited to favoritism, rewards, recognition, promotions, bonuses, assignments, etc. The concern is that employees will sacrifice the interests of the company for their own personal interests and the perceived or actual receipt of rewards.  

If a conflict of interest arises during our session it will be discussed and resolved with your best interests in mind. If a conflict arises anytime in the coaching process, I will identify the conflict and attempt to resolve it with your best interest in mind first. If the conflict cannot be resolved and I cannot serve you objectively or respectfully, then I will terminate the agreement and future coaching sessions. 

Confidentiality

This coaching relationship is 100% confidential, meaning the discussions we have and the information you share will stay between you, as the client, and me, as your coach. The only exceptions are those situations and discussions I am specifically required by law to share with someone beyond us. An example would be if you make any statements that imply that you will cause physical harm to yourself or to others, in which case I am obligated to notify appropriate authorities.

As your coach, I will honor this coaching relationship with the strictest confidentiality and will advise you of any circumstances that might influence my objectivity or judgment. As always, you are free to share the content of our coaching sessions with whomever you choose. However, I will not disclose any information that you provide during our meetings for any reason without your expressed written approval.
