Coaching & Consulting

Whether you're navigating change, growing into leadership, or seeking greater alignment in your work or life, personalized support can make all the difference. Coaching offers a space for reflection, clarity, and personal transformation; while consulting provides strategic, business-focused solutions to help your vision take shape and succeed. At PathForward, we meet you where you are and walk with you toward where you want to be.

Sometimes, the next step isn't about knowing all the answers, it's about having the right type of support.

Coaching is a collaborative, co-creative process focused on helping you uncover your own answers, tap into your inner wisdom, and build clarity, confidence, and direction through guided reflection and powerful questions. It’s not about giving advice, it’s about holding space for your growth, challenging you to think differently, and supporting you as you move from insight to action. Coaching is where transformation begins - on your terms, in your timing, with someone walking beside you every step of the way.

Consulting, on the other hand, offers expert advice, strategic recommendations, and solutions tailored to your specific challenges or goals. Whether you're launching a new initiative, building a business strategy, designing a communication or training plan, or navigating organizational change, consulting provides the structure, insight, and hands-on support you need to move forward with clarity and momentum. It’s about turning vision into action with trusted guidance every step of the way.

Both are valuable tools, coaching empowers your personal growth and decision-making, while consulting provides actionable guidance to move you forward faster in specific areas.

"There’s nothing more powerful than watching someone bring their vision to life. I do this work because I believe every dream deserves structure, every passion needs a plan, and every purpose-driven entrepreneur should feel supported as they grow something meaningful." 

- Kara Withers, BSOL, CMP, CEC, CLC

Coaching FAQs

What exactly does a coach do, and how is it different from therapy or mentoring?

Coaching is a forward-focused, co-creative process that helps you unlock your potential and achieve meaningful goals. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing the past, or mentoring, which involves giving advice, coaching is about empowering you to access your own wisdom, shift your mindset, and take action aligned with who you truly are.

How will coaching help me? What kind of results can I expect?

Coaching helps you gain clarity, confidence, and momentum. Whether you’re navigating a transition, deepening self-awareness, growing your leadership, or discovering what’s next, coaching creates space for you to think more powerfully, overcome obstacles, and move toward your goals with purpose. The results are as unique as you are - and growth, insight, and real transformation are at the heart of it all.

How long does coaching take? How often do we meet?

Coaching is a flexible, personalized journey. Most clients work with a coach for a few months to a year, depending on their goals and pace of change. Sessions are typically 50-minutes on a biweekly schedule. Packages are sold in 8-week bundles. From there, together we’ll design a rhythm that supports your growth while fitting into your life.

What if I don’t know exactly what I want to work on?

That’s completely okay and actually very common. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Coaching is a powerful space to explore, reflect, and uncover what matters most. Through meaningful conversations and intentional questions, we’ll find clarity together and chart a path forward that’s aligned with your values and vision.

What if I need more support than just coaching?

If it becomes clear that additional support would benefit you, your coach may recommend resources such as therapy, a specialized practitioner, or a digital product either from PathForward or another trusted source to complement your growth. Coaching is just one powerful piece of your personal development toolkit, and we’re here to help you find what serves you best.

Is everything I say confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is foundational to the coaching relationship. What you share stays between us, creating a safe and trusting environment for open, honest dialogue. The only exceptions are rare cases involving harm or legal obligations, which we’ll clearly discuss up front so you always feel informed and supported.

What if I don’t like it and want a refund?

We don’t offer refunds, as coaching is a self-led journey and your results depend on your own commitment and engagement. If you’re unsure whether coaching is right for you, we encourage you to start with a free discovery call (see link below) and if you’re still uncertain, consider booking a single session rather than a full package. Coaching is a powerful tool for growth, not a guaranteed quick fix or one-size-fits-all solution.
