JST Coaching & Training believes that every person is unique, bringing their strengths, perspectives, and growing edges to coach training and the world they interact with.  We provide the framework for each participant to explore and practice their coaching presence using ICF’s core competencies to guide them.  Once participants have a strong foundation of practiced coaching skills with feedback from our trainers and credentialed mentors, JST Coaching & Training deepens participants’ understanding of executive function skills and ADHD to understand how these conditions can impact coaching.

This depends on the individual and the course. Self-study materials are included in all courses and are due by the final lesson. The workload for each course decreases over time and we will make accommodations as needed.

Coaching fees are set by each individual coach, typically based on experience and the specific services provided. Please inquire directly with each coach to obtain their fees. The general rule-of-thumb is $300-500 per month for weekly coaching sessions and accountability check-ins. On average, coaching costs approximately $100 per week and most students stay with coaching for 6 -12 months.

Generally, coaches meet with clients for 30-45 minutes each week, in person, by phone or virtually. In addition, they provide valuable accountability check-ins by text or e-mail between appointments.

It is recommended that you talk with coaches to determine the scope of their services and if they provide in-home coaching. Our coaches report that it’s both cost and time effective to work from their offices versus in your home. The coaches discuss the issues with the students and can use virtual platforms or FaceTime to see the student’s space. Coaches can gather valuable information without a home visit.
