Testimonials

Ken has supervised me throughout my coaching career, and with out him, I'm not sure I would have made the leap from a coach by title, to a full Professional Certified Coach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation. He continues to work with me in improving my coaching, whenever I can get the opportunity of his time. His ability to help me feel autonomous in my growth, competent in what I can do, and just the overall sense of belonging that he creates, motivates me to reach levels that I am so thankful and in debt to him for. Thank you Ken.

- Stratis N. Christakis, PCC, SCP

Ken mentored me on my MCC journey and I am super grateful to him for where I am today. Ken is genuinely interested in the person that is the coach and brings out their strengths. I still remember his statement - can you see what you hear ? It’s been one of my go to statements when I face challenges in coaching. Ken is generous with his time and we are done when I say we are done. He displays immense patience. His capability is unmatched. His kindness stands out. Highly recommend him as mentor coach / supervisor for those who would need a very different perspective to up your game. I will say that getting your credential will be much easier if you have a mentor like him.

- Priya Venkatesan

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ken and seeing him in action in multiple capacities. As the Coach Development Lead at Bravely, Ken hired me to join the professional coaching staff. From day one, Ken became a mentor and one of my biggest supporters, notably during my journey to obtain the ICF - Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential. What stands out to me the most about Ken is his passion and appetite for continuous growth; he takes joy in empowering his fellow coaches to own their magic while also taking their skills and impact to the next level. He has a unique ability to provide guidance and support in a way that is balanced and energizing; after every conversation with Ken, not only do I have a deeper awareness of my strengths, but I also feel motivated to focus on my development areas because he helps establish a clear path for growth that feels attainable. Ken has truly had an immeasurable impact on my career as a coach - he continually pushes me to think bigger and stretch further, whether it involves pursuing additional growth opportunities, sharing my voice and talents in various ways within the Bravely community, or challenging my blindspots. Simply put: he is the BEST!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between coaching, mentoring, and supervision?
Coaching: Coaching focuses on helping individuals reach their personal or professional goals by unlocking their potential and enhancing self-awareness. Coaches use questions, reflection, and goal-setting techniques to guide clients in achieving specific outcomes.

Mentoring: Mentoring involves a more experienced mentor supporting a mentee’s growth, often sharing knowledge, guidance, and advice based on the mentor’s own experiences. While coaching is non-directive, mentoring can sometimes include advice and knowledge-sharing.

Supervision: Supervision is a reflective practice for coaches to gain support and improve their skills. Supervision provides a safe space for coaches to explore challenges, ethical issues, and their own development as professionals, often under the guidance of a trained supervisor.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching: Coaching is future-oriented and focuses on helping clients achieve specific goals, develop new skills, or enhance performance. It is often short-term and action-driven, supporting clients in areas such as career growth, life transitions, and personal development.

Therapy: Therapy, or counseling, is conducted by licensed mental health professionals and typically addresses emotional or psychological issues rooted in the past, such as trauma, anxiety, or depression. Therapy is often long-term and focuses on healing and recovery, while coaching emphasizes growth and action.
How do I know if coaching, mentoring, or supervision is right for me?
Coaching: If you have specific goals you want to achieve, need clarity on direction, or want support in personal or professional development, coaching may be right for you.

Mentoring: If you’re seeking guidance from someone experienced in your field or want insights from someone who’s been in a similar position, mentoring might be a good fit.

Supervision: If you’re a coach or mentor looking to enhance your practice, receive feedback, or work through professional challenges, supervision would be beneficial.
Do you offer both individual and group sessions?
Yes, we offer both individual and group sessions. Individual sessions provide one-on-one support tailored to your specific goals, while group sessions allow for shared learning and feedback from others in similar positions.
Can I work with the same person for both coaching and mentoring?
It’s possible, though it depends on your goals. Coaching and mentoring serve different purposes. If you’re looking to achieve specific goals, coaching might be best. If you’re looking for career guidance and wisdom from someone experienced, mentoring is ideal.
Is what I discuss in coaching, mentoring, or supervision sessions confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is fundamental to our practice. All sessions are private, and any information shared is held in strict confidence, with exceptions only if legally required (e.g., risk of harm to self or others). For training purposes, recordings may be made with your consent.
How do I get started with Chance in Time Coaching?
