I am [first name], a coach in [your town]. I mostly work on one-to-one coaching, career transitions and leadership coaching. The part of the job I care most about is being willing to say that coaching is not what someone needs — it is the bit people notice later, long after they have forgotten what I charged. I am accredited and supervised. If you want to talk something through before committing to anything, I start with a free thirty-minute conversation to see whether coaching is the right thing at all.

Use this on your own site, where sounding like a person beats sounding like a CV.

I am a coach who does one thing properly: one-to-one coaching. I could do everything on the list, and for years I did. Now I do this, and I do it better than I did when I was doing all of it.
