One-on-One Custom Coaching

No Contracts or Long Term Packages

High Level Help at Affordable Pricing

Business Coaching with Michael Janda

Custom:

Everything is customized for you. I don’t have a set program that I take you through. I examine your current state of business and then customize my approach to fit your specific needs and challenges. I will never try to hard sell you into bigger packages or long term contracts.

Video:

We will use Zoom to have a video conference together. Each session is recorded for your future reference.

Frequency:

We can speak as often as you need. Many of my clients have a weekly session, some are every other week, some are once per month, and some just reach out in “emergencies.” I am flexible to accommodate the needs of your business.

Topics:

Before each session, I ask my clients to send me a bullet point list of 3-5 talking points they want to be sure we discuss. This helps me prepare in advance and it empowers both of us stay focused on priorities to maximize each session.

Pricing ($150/session):

Most coaches with my level of expertise charge $500-1,000+ per session. These high price points are not affordable for many people who really need help. In an effort to provide an affordable coaching option for smaller businesses, I charge $150 per 1-hour session. (In person sessions for people in my local area are $175 per session.) My pricing model is also designed to allow us to work together often, to get into the details of your business and make a big impact.

Payment:

After each session is complete, I will send you a PayPal request for $150 (or $175 for in-person sessions – with pre-approval). Payments are due upon receipt.

Scheduling:

If you would like to schedule a session, you can use my Calendly to pick an open time slot. calendly.com/morejanda (If there are no sessions that fit your schedule due to our time difference, please message me and we will work something out.)

“I can't believe how far I've come after my coaching sessions with Michael! He has completely changed the way that I think about myself as a creative by teaching me the skills I needed to go from being a designer to a creative director. I now have the confidence to walk in client meetings and sit on the decision-making table. My boss thinks that the coaching sessions with Michael Janda are the best investment we ever made!”

“Starting a design firm was really scary. I knew how to make logos and make clients laugh and that was about it. Mike's personal one-on-one coaching, listening and guidance from his real world experience sharing were incredibly helpful. His nuggets on how to manage my business, juggling clients and contracts, and looking at the numbers really did improve every aspect of my life. He helped me understand the bookkeeping bottom line, and with his coaching my firm grew from a team of 2 to 9. We landed solid contracts from his tips on talking to clients, we now know our numbers and have a successful firm turning 15 years old this month! He's simply the kindest and truly authentic professional in the business who I highly recommend.”

I feel very lucky to have met Michael and look forward to continue working together with him and growing my agency.”

“As an agency owner, I was unsure about making key decisions around growth and strategy. I trusted Michael because he has decades of experience building a successful agency but more importantly, he cares. He went above and beyond to guide me and I have learned so much by observing his example as a leader, businessman, and friend. Thank you for your kindness, Michael. ”

“I’ve hired 3 different coaches in the past and all of them were a total nightmare. Then about a year later……my best friend was telling me about this guy, Michael Janda. He said, he had like a 2 hour chat with him and it completely changed his approach on how is was going to run his business! Michael and I have been working with each other for months and it was been massive for me personally and professionally. He’s been an awesome resource to help bounce ideas off of, he helps keep me accountable, and has given me a clear direction on the steps I need to take to reach my goals. He helped me implement a weekly sales tracking system so I can determine where the business is coming from and what additional investments I need to make to help drive more business. He’s guided me through a strategic, “post-project process” that I never would have thought of. With his awesome design background, he helped are refine my presentations which helped me land a MASSIVE client, who literally said, “I love the way you have this all laid out, this is exactly what we were hoping.” His Calendly is “More Janda” - which is how I feel!! MORE JANDA!!”
