Insightful
Coaching helps turn thinking into action. Together, we look at what’s happening, question what may be holding you back, and identify ways to approach situations in your work.
A Starting Point
Your time is valuable, and coaching is a shared commitment to your growth. From the start, we decide what matters most for you to work on so each session stays focused and useful.
The Coaching Experience
Personalized
Each session focuses on the questions or situations you want to work through. Our work reflects your experiences, priorities, and how your work is developing over time.
“Angela possesses a unique ability to ask the right questions that encourage deep introspection. Through our conversations, I gained clarity about the values that truly drive me, and this newfound self-awareness became the cornerstone of my future career goals. Angela made me feel seen and heard by tailoring our sessions to my specific needs and challenges, offering personalized strategies to use in my long-term planning.”
— Josh R. (Project Leader, Sports & Rec, Ottawa, Ontario)
FAQs
-
Coaching gives you space to think through your work and what matters most in it. It helps you step back from day-to-day pressures and talk through important decisions, situations, or challenges.
Through conversation and reflection, coaching helps you see your strengths, notice patterns in your work and leadership and consider possibilities you may not have thought about.
For many people, coaching becomes a steady place to talk things through, build confidence, and approach their work with greater awareness and intention.
-
Confidentiality is a core part of the coaching relationship. What you share in sessions remains private and respected.
As an ICF-certified coach, I follow the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics, which includes clear guidelines around confidentiality and professional conduct.
This creates a safe space for open and honest conversations.
-
Coaching works best when you arrive ready to engage. That means coming with topics or situations you want to think through, reflecting between sessions, and trying out ideas or exercises as they come up in our conversations.
Your feedback matters throughout. If something isn't working, say so — we'll adjust. If your schedule or circumstances change, please communicate that too so we can adapt the pace and focus to what you need.
-
Coaching is usually priced as a three to six month engagement, with everything included — sessions, email support between them, and any assessments we use, including the EQ-i 2.0.
I'll give you the figure in our first conversation, along with a written proposal, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you. There's no cost for that first conversation.

Item description
-
Coaching works best when the relationship between coach and client feels comfortable and productive. The initial conversation is a chance to talk about what you’d like to explore, ask questions about the process, and see how the conversation feels.
A good fit usually means you feel able to speak openly, reflect on your experiences, and actively participate between sessions. If it feels like the right match, we can agree on how often to meet and how we’d like to work together.
-
Yes. Many coaching relationships take place virtually, allowing us to work together regardless of location.
If you are local and prefer meeting in person, we can arrange that when schedules allow. This flexibility makes it easy for us to work together wherever you are.
-
Sessions are forty-five to sixty minutes, typically every two weeks. Most working relationships run three to six months, with six sessions over three months a common place to start. Some people continue well past that.
The two-week rhythm matters more than it might sound. It gives you time to test an idea in a real situation before we talk about it again, rather than only reflecting in the room.
That said, I work around your schedule. If a different pace suits the season you're in or the work we're doing, we'll set one.
-
Sometimes we use tools or assessments that help you see your strengths and how you tend to approach work and/or leadership.
This may include the EQ-i 2.0®, a research-based emotional intelligence assessment that offers insight into how you communicate, make decisions, build relationships, and lead.
These tools help start conversations about your experiences, patterns, and goals. They support the coaching conversation rather than replacing it. The real value comes from how we talk about what the tools reveal and how those insights relate to your vision.
-
The first step is a complimentary consultation, about 30–45 minutes. This gives us a chance to talk about where you are right now, what you'd like to explore, and how coaching may help.
Book a complimentary consultation, or email Angela directly at angela@angelamacmastercoaching.ca if you have questions first.
This conversation is also a chance for you to ask questions and decide whether working together feels right.
If it does, we'll agree on how to work together and begin in a timeframe that suits you. Angela will send a proposal, and investment options are shared during the initial conversation so you can make an informed decision about moving forward.
-
Angela is also available to speak at events, panels, and professional gatherings on topics related to leadership, career transitions, and workplace development.
