Frequently Asked Questions about Coaching

A career and life coach can support you in finding and staying on your path.  Coaching is NOT consulting or therapy. Coaches do not tell you what to do, and they don't simply listen.  

By building a relationship with my clients, I can help you stay motivated and on-task, helping you move toward your long term goals. We will have a co-equal relationship and focus on YOUR agenda and goals.

We don't have to meet one-on-one. In fact, coaching by telephone or virtually, such as by Zoom, can be incredibly helpful. And more generally, as coach, I can help my clients remain calm and see and reach for an optimistic horizon. I can offer them various coaching tools, flexibility in scheduling, and perhaps most importantly, an opportunity to be heard and to share their feelings and what’s important to them as they work through this challenging time.  

Every client jointly signs a commitment contract with their coach.  We set the terms of the commitment contract to fit your individual goals and plans. 

The first step is to schedule a FREE introductory session.  In that session, we will get an idea of how well we work together and what our next steps should be from there. No obligation! Call (301.363.9942) or email Cindy (cindy@csbcoachinginsights.com) for a FREE consultation and coaching session. Sessions can be arranged in person, over the phone, or virtually via Zoom.

Well, CSB stands for my initials...Cindy Stone Barkanic. But I like how CSB also stands for my core values in supporting my clients: I am Caring, Supportive, and Balanced. Doesn't that sound nice?! 

Absolutely! I have worked with clients around the country. As long as you have internet access that allows you to utilize services such as What'sApp, Zoom, etc., we can work together.
