Pay-What-You-Wish Sessions
Pick a session duration of 30 or 60 minutes, and then pay how much you think it’s worth. After you pay, you’ll receive an email with a few possible times to meet, and you pick the one that works best for you. All sessions are via conference call and are 100% confidential.
Topics may include:
- Empathy
- Nonviolent Communication
- Emotional Intelligence
- Mindfulness
- Self-Compassion
- Careers
- Coaching
- Freelance/Consulting
- Entrepreneurship
- Anything else
Feel free to ask questions about PWYW at @whitneyhess. Thank you for your interest.
You may be wondering…
Why are you offering this?
Since becoming a certified coach in June 2014, I have worked with more than 100 coaching clients in 6-12 month engagements. It has been glorious! Hundreds more have asked to work together, but either: a) couldn’t afford it, or b) only wanted one or two sessions. And I absolutely hate not being able to help them. This is an experiment to try something new, to make coaching available to all who want it at whatever value they determine. Maybe it’s crazy, or maybe it’s crazy cool. We’ll find out, but first we have to try.
How do Pay-What-You-Wish sessions work?
You pick either a session duration of either 30 or 60 minutes, and then decide how much it’s worth to you. Type in the price, hit Pay, enter your personal and credit card info, and hit Pay Now. After you pay, you’ll receive a link to my scheduler where you can select a few suitable times that work well for both of us. Please show up on time to our session. We will end on time. Slots are limited, so I ask that you give 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule.
How much should I pay?
It’s entirely up to you! How much do you value our time together? The average across all PWYW sessions is currently $196 USD for a 60-minute session.
Will the amount I pay affect how we spend our time?
Absolutely not. In fact, I won’t even look at how much you paid before our session. Payment and booking happen automatically, so I have no reason to check what you paid. Regardless of the amount, I treat all of my clients equally. Value perceptions and price sensitivities vary widely. Only you can judge what’s right for you. That’s why I offer PWYW in the first place.
What if I don’t want to pay anything?
You’re more than welcome to enter $0. But if that’s how much you value our time together, I have to wonder why you want my coaching.
But I already pay for coaching with you. What the heck is this?!
Our coaching differs from Pay-What-You-Wish in so many ways: you and I meet repeatedly over 6-12 months; you have a specific, defined coaching plan — which I design just for you — that guides our work together over the long-term; I regularly recommend practices, exercises and resources for your growth based on your coaching goals and unique needs; you get access to my content, my templates, and my personal network. PWYW clients don’t get any of that. If you would like more clarification, please ask in our next session.
