Frequently Asked Questions

Who is coaching for?
Coaching can be helpful for people at many different stages of life and work, from students to retirees, homemakers to business owners and those leading teams or organisations. It’s not an exclusive privilege; it’s useful for anyone that’s ready to move from ‘thinking about it’ to ‘doing it.’ It’s a personalised journey where individuals actively structure their path towards their self-determined solutions and aspirations.
People come to coaching for different reasons. Some want more confidence in their decisions or direction, while others want space to think clearly about situations that feel uncertain, frustrating or difficult to work through alone.
Although the situations differ, the aim is often similar: greater clarity, more confidence in your own judgement and a clearer sense of what feels right moving forward.
What is Cashmere Signature Confidence and Leadership?
Signature Confidence and Leadership is a structured one-to-one coaching experience focused on confidence, communication and leadership. It’s designed for people who are capable in their role, but who want to feel more certain in how they think, contribute and lead in professional environments.
For some, that means finding their voice more consistently in meetings or leadership conversations. For others, it’s adjusting to the responsibility of managing people and making decisions that affect others.
The work combines reflection with practical application, helping you to approach real situations with more clarity, confidence and consistency over time.
Do you need previous leadership or management experience to benefit from coaching?
Not at all.
Some people come to coaching because they are moving into new responsibilities or leadership roles for the first time. Others already have significant experience but want to feel more confident, clearer in their thinking or more consistent in how they communicate and lead.
The focus is not on how senior or experienced you are, but on what feels most relevant or challenging for you at the time.
How is your approach different from traditional training?
Traditional training often focuses on teaching skills or processes.
My approach looks more closely at what affects how people apply those skills in real situations. For example, someone may already know what they want to say in a meeting, but still hesitate before speaking. A leader may understand the technical side of management, but still second guess decisions or avoid difficult conversations.
This work focuses on understanding what’s happening underneath in those moments so people can think more clearly, respond with more confidence and apply what they already know more consistently.
What types of businesses do you support?
Cashmere consultancy supports businesses that want stronger direction around leadership, communication and day-to-day decision making.
Some businesses are growing and finding that priorities, communication or team dynamics are becoming harder to manage consistently. Others may be more established, but recognise that momentum, engagement or focus no longer feels as strong as it once did.
The work may involve clarifying priorities, improving communication, reviewing leadership approaches or identifying patterns that are affecting consistency and performance.
The focus is less on the industry itself and more on the people, behaviours and working patterns that influence how a business functions, how decisions are made and how people work together in practice.
Do you work with individuals and businesses differently?
Yes. Although the underlying themes of clarity, confidence and decision making often overlap, the approach differs depending on the situation.
Personal coaching focuses more on individual thinking, confidence and communication, while consultancy work looks more broadly at leadership, team dynamics, direction and organisational challenges.
In both cases, the focus stays practical and grounded in real situations rather than theory alone.
What can I expect from the coaching process?
Coaching at Cashmere is calm, thoughtful and centred on open conversation.
Sessions provide space to think clearly, reflect honestly and talk through situations without pressure or judgement. The focus is not on being told what to do but on helping you to understand your thinking more clearly and decide what feels right for you.
Over time, many people notice the internal noise settles, communication feels easier, and confidence becomes less dependent on the situation around them.
How do I get started?
The first step is a short introductory conversation. You can book a discovery call or send an email.
There’s no pressure or obligation, just the opportunity to talk through what you’re looking for and whether the approach feels right for you.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on the type of support and the level of input required.
For individuals, there are options ranging from single sessions through to more in-depth coaching support and Signature Confidence and Leadership.
Consultancy support varies depending on the nature of the work, the level of involvement required and the size or complexity of the organisation.
I believe pricing should feel clear and straightforward rather than vague or difficult to access, which is why all package details and pricing information are openly available on the options page.
