7. How long will we work together?  

• The average coaching relationship lasts close to a year, but it varies according to your wishes and goals. Most of your desired goals and projects are big enough that they'll take several months to complete. In addition, successful coaching relies on a good connection between coach and client. Our connection naturally becomes deeper and even more effective over time, which enhances the results and benefits.
