Services (Or Options For Taking a Trip Worth Taking)

Do you know where you are headed and how to get there? Do you have a destination that's worth the trip? Or are you wandering aimlessly in a cornfield, hoping to find the road?  Photo by ambism

I have lots of information on my biz site about my services. But just to make it easy for my blog readers, here's a summary of what I offer (updated for what the current times are calling for):

• Does the same issue keep popping up in your life, even after years of working on it? Do you feel paralyzed by the current economic conditions? Consider a Power Session, 30-minutes over the phone. These sessions are meant to create a breakthrough in your awareness or perspective, so that you can then take action on your own. You'll be surprised at how spacious 30 minutes can feel when I'm coaching you. But don't take my word for it. Listen to one or more of the coaching demonstrations that I've done. You'll get an idea of the types of situations that can be addressed with a Power Session, as well as get a feel for what you might experience during one of these sessions.

This service is like you showing me the map that you're planning on using for your trip. The two of us create a better map-- easier to use, more durable, more accurate, and without the coffee spills, torn corners, and smudged finger prints from past trips. Photo by vsqz

"I have had the honor of observing Carol's coaching. The Power Session is Carol's "secret weapon."  With her playful wisdom, she gets to the heart of the matter with her clients in a way that is incredibly spacious, almost as if she has warped time.  The impact is that her  clients feel met and seen so they can take the next step with confidence and ease.  This is a great value."  --Keri Kuerbis Lehmann, MCC, CPCC

Cost: $150

• Do you need to quickly get started on a project or initiative but don't know which end is up? Has there been an area in your business or career that you've been procrastinating on because you just don't know where to start? Invest in a Lightning Round Consulting session, 60-minutes over the phone. Having the right knowledge, up front, can make a tremendous difference. This is different from coaching, as I'm imparting my knowledge on a particular topic. I'm advising.  I know a lot about a few things that can help you get started and work smartly--using social media for business, building a small business, transitioning from being employed to self-employed, changing careers, finding a niche as a coach, effective networking, personal branding. I'll be honest about whether I have the knowledge to help you or if you should hire someone else (I can also help with referrals.) 

This service is like the two of us having a lunch together before you leave on your trip, and you asking me about whether to drive or fly, what I would do differently next time, what pitfalls to watch out for, where to stay and how to save on lodging, how to pack, and of course, the best places to eat. At the end of our lunch, you'll be ready to hit the road! Photo by ilovemypit


"Maybe you dreamed of meeting a mentor. Someone wise, insightful, caring and up-to-date. Someone who could advise you whether it's about a recurring career problem or an entrepreneurial venture you need to kick start. Well, now you found that person - Carol Ross. Not only do I recommend Carol highly for business consulting on a broad range of issues, I seek her out in her "Lightning Round" sessions for her knowledge of the cutting edge of new media.  I swear Carol can see around corners in terms of where new media is going, what works and what doesn't and why, and what you as an entrepreneur should do and how to go about it. Check it out."

Cost: $250

• Are you at a crossroads in your life?  Are you yearning for support during hard times that will allow you to tap into your best self, instead of spending time with your Gremlins? Are you eager to create more opportunity and less stress in your life? Sign up for a three-month I'm Ready for Change! coaching package, two hours per month over the phone, unlimited email. Working together over an extended period of time allows us to work both broadly and deeply, so that new habits and ways of thinking can form. You'll notice a lasting impact on how you think, feel, and behave. You will also see results on the outside--the opportunities that come your way, the people who are attracted to you, the dreams that move toward reality.

This package is like taking a trip, with you driving, and me sitting next to you along the way. I'll ask the right questions so that you notice everything about the trip--your driving habits, why you chose the destination you did, how it feels at different times of the day on the road, when your energy lags and why, the sights that excite you. I'll also help you figure out how to get back on track if you get lost, have a flat tire, or run out of gas. We'll also talk about what you want to be different about the trip, so that you can make adjustments along the way--so that the trip is more enjoyable, delightful, and satisfying. Most likely, we'll end up at a completely different destination from what you imagined at the start of the trip and you'll be all the happier for it. Photo by Stig Nygaard

"Carol is an insightful and talented career coach. She asks me the tough questions that I often don't ask myself, but that need to be asked and answered. Carol has supported me through challenging transitions and I am doing work I love."

             --Laura Drury, C-Level Executive and Boundary Crosser


Cost: $1650

I also do month-to-month coaching at $600 for two hours of coaching/month and unlimited email. For the three-month package and the month-to-month package, I offer a short consultation so that we both can be sure of a fit before working together.

I accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express as well as checks. Contact me to buy and schedule our time together: carol [at] carolrossandassociates [dot] com.
