FAQs

How do I know if I’m ready for coaching?

You are ready for coaching if you want change and are willing to put in the effort to grow and make movement on your goals.

How much time and effort will coaching take?

Each coaching session is 1-hour long every 2 weeks. In between each coaching session, you will be expected to read articles, complete worksheets, use a daily planner, execute your action plan, and track your progress.

How are the sessions conducted?

The sessions are conducted over Zoom (or another online video platform). Clients must have a device that has a camera, reliable internet and are able to use Zoom.

Do you have group coaching sessions?

Effective, game-changing coaching needs to have a personalized and confidential approach. However, we have found that clients who primarily need to form better structure and habits into their lives in order to make progress on their goals, can benefit more from a group coaching experience. We created a “Habits-to-Goals” group coaching series, and it will be run a few times a year. For more information, please email us.

Additionally, GiANT’s ‘Altitude Training’ Leadership Program has a group coaching component in the entire program.

Is there only one coach to choose from?

Mandy Chandler is the owner and coach for Akari Alight Coaching. There is always the possibility of growing our coaching practice with more coaches!

Can my company subsidize for my coaching?

Yes, we are happy to make this work! If your company is partially or fully subsidizing your coaching, please let us know so that we can arrange for a payment plan and provide the details that your company needs.

Do you have special pricing for non-profits?

Non-profits, companies that are Asian/Pacific Islander-owned, OR individuals of Asian/Pacific Islander heritage may be eligible for special pricing. Depending on the coaching topic and plan, there can be a 15% discount. An application outlining the organization, your coaching goals, and anticipated impact must be submitted. Please email us for more information and/or for the application.

I’m looking for coaching that’s different from what’s offered in the services description. Could you still consider me as a client?

Our primary focus and specialty is working in the leadership and career development space. But, we are open and interested in working with clients who need something different. Please contact us and we are more than happy to discuss it.
