FAQs – Pricing and Duration
Curious about the cost and duration of our coaching and mentoring services? We understand these are common questions, and while there's no one-size-fits-all answer, we're here to clarify.
Establishing a strong connection between a coach/mentor and a coachee/mentee is crucial. It sets the foundation for trust and open communication, enabling the coaching or mentoring process to be effective. Therefore, determining a fit between both parties is an important initial step.
We offer an introductory session lasting approximately 30 minutes to initiate this process. During this session, we'll have the opportunity to get to know each other, understand your needs and expectations, and discuss the potential outcomes. This introductory session is free of charge.
As for the cost, we offer different session packages tailored to your specific requirements. For example, a package may include four or eight sessions, or we can also accommodate ad hoc sessions based on your preferences. But, again, the aim is to ensure you experience tangible benefits and progress towards your desired outcome.
Please note that the duration of the coaching or mentoring process depends on various factors, such as your goals, the complexity of the challenges, and availability. It's a collaborative journey where we work together to achieve meaningful results.
We encourage you to schedule an introductory session with us for detailed pricing information and to discuss the most suitable approach for your needs.

FAQs - Individual Coaching in Team Coaching Exercises
When participating in a team coaching exercise facilitated by your organization, the possibility of individual coaching depends on the specific nature and objectives of the engagement. Team coaching typically focuses on addressing organizational goals, such as enhancing team culture, improving performance, or fostering open communication channels.
During the team coaching process, you may identify personal aspects or topics that you would like to explore outside the team environment. While our primary relationship is with the organization, we understand the value of addressing individual needs within the coaching journey.
We recommend discussing your desire for personal coaching sessions with your organization. Transparency and open communication are key in determining whether your organization agrees to individual coaching while participating in the team coaching exercise. This ensures that there are no conflicts of interest and aligns with the agreed-upon coaching structure.
At Mentor Me (Aus), we are committed to accommodating the arrangements transparently agreed upon between you and your organization, respecting the boundaries and objectives set forth for the overall coaching engagement.
