Adrianne Yiu Coaching & Consulting

What is coaching?

Coaching is a collaborative process to help you achieve specific professional/personal goals or intentions. We’ll meet bi-weekly over a 3 or 6 month period (depending on your preference). Each 45-min session will start by defining the focus for the session and end with an action/takeaway.

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy focuses on addressing mental health challenges like active trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar and schizophrenia. Licensed therapists can provide diagnoses to treat mental health conditions whereas coaches cannot. Coaching focuses on personal and professional growth and creating tangible actions to move forward.

Do I need a leadership coach or career coach?

Leadership coaching is helpful for people who want to develop specific leadership skills and competencies. It can offer support for leaders who want to stay grounded while they step into new executive roles with added complexity, pressure, and politics. My leadership coaching specialties include imposter syndrome; self-confidence; burnout; leading with integrity, anti-oppressive management styles.

Who are your clients?

I work with leaders and executives across government, corporate, tech, non-profit and entrepreneurship. My clients range from C-suite leaders to social workers, artists, labour organizers, researchers, engineers, fundraisers, tech leads, environmentalists, public servants, activists and accountants.

How much does coaching cost?

I know that executive coaching has been a historically inaccessible opportunity for many marginalized groups. To make things more equitable, sliding scale options are available for BIPOC women and non-binary folks who are paying out of pocket. You can find my 1:1 leadership coaching rates here. I also offer no-interest installment plans if it’s easier to divide up the payment.
