Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about working with Swerve, from coaching and facilitation to fees and getting started.

What is Swerve Coaching & Consulting?

Swerve helps leaders and organizations think clearly, navigate complexity, strengthen leadership, and move forward with intention. Services include leadership and executive coaching, leadership development and facilitation, strategic planning, and leadership offsites.

Who do you work with?

Swerve works with leaders at every level, from new managers to executives, as well as leadership teams and boards. Coaching can be arranged by an individual leader or sponsored by their organization.

What is the difference between coaching and consulting?

Coaching gives a leader a confidential place to reflect, explore assumptions, work through challenges, and develop their own way forward. Consulting and facilitation may involve more direct support with organizational questions, group processes, planning, or defined outcomes. The right approach depends on the challenge, and we can work it out together on a discovery call.

Can you work with more than one leader or a whole team?

Yes. In addition to individual leadership coaching, Swerve offers leadership development, facilitation, strategic planning, and offsites for groups and teams. The approach is shaped around the people involved, the purpose of the work, and the outcomes you want to achieve.

Do you meet in person?

Yes. I meet with clients in person in Canmore and the Bow Valley, and offsites can also run at your location. Virtual sessions are available too.

Can you work with organizations outside the Bow Valley?

Yes. Swerve works with leaders and organizations across Canada and internationally.

How long does coaching take?

There’s no single timeline that suits every leader. We agree on the format and length at the start, based on your goals, and adjust as your needs change.

What happens in a discovery call?

The call is a chance to talk about your situation, what you want to achieve, and whether Swerve is the right fit. If it is, I’ll usually follow up with a proposal outlining the scope, structure, and investment. If it isn’t, I’m glad to point you to someone who is.

How much do your services cost?

Fees depend on the type of work, its scope, the preparation involved, and the format. You’ll know the investment before any work begins.

What if my organization is paying for coaching?

We start with a clear conversation about goals, roles, expectations, and confidentiality, so everyone understands the purpose and limits of the engagement. The coaching conversations themselves stay confidential.

What does a leadership offsite include?

Each offsite is designed around your team’s goals. My focus is the agenda design and facilitation. Venue, accommodation, catering, and activities are arranged separately, and I’m glad to work alongside your team or event planner.

How do we get started?

Book a free discovery call. We’ll talk about what’s happening, what you’re hoping to change, and what kind of support might be useful.
