Frequently asked questions
What is professional coaching?
Professional coaching is a collaborative partnership between a trained coach and an individual or group, aimed at unlocking their potential, enhancing performance, and achieving personal or professional goals. It involves a process of questioning, deep listening, and providing guidance to facilitate personal growth and development.
How is professional coaching different from therapy?
Great question!
While coaching focuses on the future, therapy focuses more on the past.
A licensed therapist will guide you to reflect on your past experiences to uncover unhelpful patterns and heal emotional wounds.
A certified life and leadership coach will ask thought-provoking questions, listen with an open heart and mind, and provide a supportive (and objective) space for you to explore possibilities, get clarity, find your own answers, and be action oriented and solution-focused.
Coaching with Leni is about clearing blocks, reframing old beliefs with empathy, and creating momentum for your most audacious goals without burning out.
It’s a collaborative journey where she will guide you to develop self awareness and self-leadership as well as provide accountability and unwavering support.

How long does a coaching engagement typically last and what does it include?
Glad you asked!
The duration of a coaching engagement varies depending on the client’s goals and needs. It can range from a few sessions over a few weeks to several months of regular sessions. First time clients will find the most success with a minimum of 9-12 sessions (roughly 3-6 months). Often clients choose longer engagements knowing it takes time to make meaningful, sustainable progress. We work with your defined milestones and regular check-ins to assess progress and adjust strategies as needed.
New client engagements typically begin with an assessment (ELI) followed by a 60-90 minute debrief. This, along with deeper discussion, give us a place to start and helps hone in on expectations and goals as well as give framework for moving forward.
Weekly or biweekly 1:1 45-50 minute sessions (whatever works best for you) are scheduled along with access to notes, resources and text/email support directly with Leni between sessions if needed.
Working with Leni can also include access to The Scope App – a powerful tool that serves as an extension to the ELI Assessment and provides real time feedback on your emotions and behavior which we can reference during our 1:1 sessions.
The frequency and duration of sessions may be adjusted based on the client’s needs and the nature of the coaching program.

Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, Leni offers 2- or 3-part payment plans for both corporate and individual clients.
Leni’s best fit clients are those who are ready and willing to invest in their next level of growth, and we want this journey to be easeful for you.
Can I book one-off sessions?
It depends.
Leni firmly believes that insights, growth, and healing require time and commitment.
That’s why she doesn’t offer one-off sessions if you’ve never worked together before. Leni wants to give you the space and support to uncover the root causes of your challenges and create lasting solutions.
That said, if you’ve already worked with her within the last 3 months, she’s more than happy to schedule a one-time follow-up session. This allows you to reconnect, check in on your progress, and address any specific concerns or questions you may have.
Additionally, if you’re interested in one of the assessment tools Leni offers, you can arrange to take the assessment and debrief session as stand-alone appointments.
