Perhaps the most effective skill I provide my clients is one-on-one coaching. I work with men and women from all walks of life and help them build on their strengths, acquire new skills and perspectives, or overcome the hurdles that are in their way. Sometimes we meet in person. Sometimes we meet via Skype or through some other medium. In every case, I make sure that you are paying only for results.
Essentially the way it works is you come to me with a particular problem or issue you are facing, and you pay me a flat fee to secure my time and attention. You and I will participate in anywhere from 4 to 7 sessions or so, each session lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes, and my commitment is that I will help you clear whatever hurdle it is we’ve agreed to work together on. You are not paying for my time, you are paying for results.
If you have a thorny challenge that is keeping you from being your best, reach out to me and let me help you through it. If you need a coach, I may well be an outstanding resource for you. Contact me to discuss the particulars, or click on the Book Ara Now page to begin the process.
Here is what a few of my clients have said about my work as a coach:
Ara, thank you so much for your help with the coaching. You helped me identify skills and work experience that I would have not considered important. Moreover, you helped me feel confident. You are definitely an expert!

I would highly recommend the professional services and coaching of Ara Norwood. I was first introduced to Ara as a professor at College of the Canyons in Valencia, CA and have since continued to work with him develop my own business and professional career. As a professor, his classes were always a stand out compared to others. His energy, enthusiasm, professionalism and creativity made his lectures a joy to attend. I can honestly say I took ten times more out of Ara’s classes then I did most other college courses. Beyond the classroom, Ara really shines as a business coach. His incredible insight and ideas have helped my business and career immensely. He has tremendous command of many subjects whether it be leadership, entrepreneurship, ethics, negotiation and conflict resolution, etc. Because of this grasp of many topics, Ara is incredibly versatile and helpful as a coach. My business would not be where it is today without the guidance and wisdom of Ara.

If I had to name one factor that enabled me to take my career to the next level, I would have to say it was the expertise you brought to the table for our several consultations. You are frankly worth far more than you charged and I firmly believe your input was far more helpful to me than any other input I had received up to that point. I will definitely turn to you again and refer my friends to you when the occasion requires. I cannot thank you enough.

Ara Norwood is, far and away, the most perceptive coach I have ever had the privilege of working with – and I’ve worked with quite a few. He’s a master of the craft of getting to the root of the problem quickly, and he’s a consummate professional! I consider him to have been an invaluable resource in my own career development. And he’s a fun guy.
