HOW WE DEFINE FLEXIBILITY: Flexibility means committing to one intake call per week initially, with the workload gradually increasing to 2-3 calls weekly. Intake interviews typically last 60 to 120 minutes, with an average of 90 minutes. Both you and the client can agree on the interview time. Dependability is key, as clients rely on your availability. Administrative tasks following interviews require an additional 30 minutes to an hour.
Compensation: Hourly compensation details will be discussed during the initial interview. Rate is competitive.
HOURS: During the summer, the hours may range from 3-8 hours per week averaging 5. During the school year, hours will have the potential to increase to 10-12. You will be part of the conversation re: adding more hours. We want to do it in a way that feels sustainable to all.
CULTURE: Working at Briefcase Coach entails being part of a small, boutique executive coaching practice. While not adopting the term “work family,” we foster a supportive environment. The owner, a dedicated parent, maintains a flexible schedule, reflecting the dynamic of a small business.
