How I (Bonnie Thompson) Coach

Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. To help you determine whether my coaching style is a right fit for your life journey, I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation. During this consultation, we’ll discuss where you are in your life and where you’d like to be. I’ll explain how coaching works and what you can expect from the coaching relationship. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and, more important, to see whether you and I have good rapport.

“The moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.”
— W.H. Murray

If you decide that you’d like to work with me, I’ll ask you to make a three-month commitment. Three months is a reasonable length of time to begin to see the fruits of our work together. My fee is $225 per month. We’ll meet by phone once a week for 45 minutes during the first three weeks of the month, for a total of nine sessions. You’ll also have the opportunity for unlimited e-mail contact and “just in time coaching” (brief calls to get support or share a success). After the initial three months, you may choose to continue the coaching relationship on a month-to-month or as-needed basis.

I also work with clients in a group setting in a structured 12-week program called “NOW WHAT™? 90 Days to a New Life Direction.” The fee for this program is $100 per month per person, with a commitment to complete the entire program.

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase,
just take the first step.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.

The model of coaching that I use is called co-active coaching. Co-active means that you and I will work together as equal partners in the service of helping you to realize your goals. The alliance that you and I design for our work together will be based on your needs, preferences, and temperament. While you will set the agenda, I will do my part to inspire, encourage, and motivate you. I’ll celebrate your accomplishments and help you deepen your learning when things don’t go as planned. I’ll ask questions, make requests, and offer challenges. If you’d like, I’ll provide an accountability structure to keep you moving forward.


“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”
— Goethe


Creating a fulfilling, meaningful, and balanced life is a never-ending process. As your coach it would be my great pleasure to help you step onto this path of discovery and into the life that awaits you.

“Bonnie is a great listener and helped brainstorm ideas and put them into a cohesive plan. She helped me see myself in a new way and inspired me to delve deeper into the life course we discussed. I am absolutely high on the possibilities. I had a feeling that life was passing me by but now I feel I have a new lease on life. I am able to see that there is a whole world of possibilities open to me, enabling me to live a more fulfilling and enriching life.” — Austine White


“I think Bonnie is a fabulous coach and her ability to adapt to what is going on in the moment is outstanding. Bonnie helped me figure out small steps to take toward my goal and encouraged me to begin with these bite-sized pieces. She really helped me to focus in on my intentions. I am excited about starting to make my dream of writing a reality.” — Flynne Meares
