What it costs, how it works, and where we go from here. Personal, candid, and practical — you leave every session with something you can use that day. This guide maps the investment and the terms of the journey.
Every engagement begins with a free thirty-minute conversation. When you're ready to travel, choose the cadence that fits the road ahead.
Forty-five focused minutes on one live decision — options, assumptions, trade-offs, and a next step you can act on that day. Time beyond is billed in 45-minute increments.
Weekly 45-minute sessions, or up to a 90-minute session every other week — your rhythm, held steady. Month to month; thirty days' notice to end. Strategy consultation between sessions available as a monthly add-on.
A kickoff mapping session, twelve sessions in a roughly biweekly rhythm, between-session strategy consultation included, and a wrap-up review of the ground covered — the recommended route.
Clients who have traveled with us before receive 10% preferred pricing on any new engagement, rates locked for twelve months, and priority scheduling.
Refer a new client and receive a service credit of 10% of their first engagement — up to $2,500 — toward any decision cartographic offering.
Corporate-sponsored coaching — where a company invests in one of its own — is quoted individually and carries its own confidentiality addendum. See the terms below.
The essentials of how we work together. A signed agreement governs every engagement — this is the plain-language version of it.
Thirty minutes, free, and useful on its own. No intake forms and no proposal until we've actually talked — and both see a journey worth taking.
Sessions run in person (houston · austin · dallas) or by video. The waypoint is 45 minutes; time that runs beyond is billed in 45-minute increments. The bearing runs as weekly 45-minute sessions, or one session of up to 90 minutes every other week. Traverse sessions run up to 90 minutes. Reschedule or cancel with 24 hours' notice; inside 24 hours, the session counts as used. Sessions hold a rhythm, not a balance — they don't combine, split, or carry over.
Waypoints are paid when booked. The bearing is billed on the 1st, in advance. The traverse is paid in three equal installments billed every other month — at kickoff, month three, and month five. Your rate is locked for the term of the engagement.
What's said in session stays there. Nothing is shared — including the fact that you're a client — without your written consent, except where safety or the law requires. In sponsored engagements, the sponsor sees themes and progress only; never session content.
Coaching is a structured thinking partnership. It is not therapy or counseling, and not medical, legal, or financial advice — where that's what's needed, we'll say so and help you find it. Every decision on the map remains yours to make.
Between-session strategy consultation — brief, asynchronous counsel by email or text, answered within one business day — comes included with the traverse, and is available to bearing clients as an add-on at $500 per month. It's for the moments that won't keep — not standing calls or document review.
Everything we chart together is yours to keep and use. The underlying frameworks, templates, and materials remain ours, licensed to you for personal use.
Life reroutes. Pause an engagement for up to 60 days, once per journey — a pause tolls billing and extends the session window by the same days. End at any time with 30 days' written notice; unused, unexpired program sessions are refunded pro rata.
Program sessions follow the engagement's rhythm and are usable for eight months from kickoff — the extra months are room for rescheduled sessions, not a way to bank them. Service credits are valid for eighteen months.
Fees effective july 2026 and reviewed annually — never repriced mid-engagement. This guide is informational; the signed coaching agreement governs every engagement.
