We'll answer your question within one business day.Everything you need to know about coaching with Elevate β how it works, what to expect, and how to get started. Can't find what you need? Just ask us.
Coaching is a forward-focused, goal-oriented partnership between a coach and a client. Unlike mentoring (where an expert shares their experience and advice) or therapy (which often addresses psychological issues and the past), coaching works in the present and future β helping you clarify goals, develop skills, overcome obstacles, and take action.
Your coach will not tell you what to do. Instead, they will ask powerful questions, challenge your assumptions, and hold you accountable to the goals you've set for yourself. The power of coaching lies in the belief that you already have the resources you need β the coach helps you access them.
Coaching is beneficial for anyone who is motivated to grow, change, or achieve a specific professional goal. Our clients include:
If you are willing to be honest, to be challenged, and to take action β coaching will work for you.
Yes β all of our coaches hold professional coaching certifications from internationally recognised bodies, primarily the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Our lead coaches hold either the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or Professional Certified Coach (PCC) designation.
In addition to their certifications, all our coaches undergo regular group supervision, continuing professional development (minimum 40 hours per year), and internal peer review. This ensures the highest standards of coaching quality and ethics.
We offer six core service lines:
Visit our Services page for full details on each programme.
Absolutely. We offer online coaching via Zoom for clients throughout Uganda and East Africa. Many of our most successful coaching relationships are conducted entirely online, and our clients regularly tell us that the experience is just as impactful as in-person sessions.
We have clients in Gulu, Mbarara, Jinja, Fort Portal, and across Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda who participate in our programmes remotely.
Yes β we regularly deliver in-house training and workshops at our clients' premises throughout Uganda. We can travel to Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu, and other locations depending on the scope of the programme.
For corporate and group engagements, we first conduct a needs assessment to understand your organisation's specific context and objectives, then design a bespoke programme that fits your team and your culture. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Getting started is simple. Here's what happens:
Most clients begin their first coaching session within one to two weeks of their initial enquiry.
The length depends on the programme and your goals. As a guide:
Research shows that a minimum of 3 months is needed to create lasting behavioural change, which is why we recommend at least a 3-month commitment for individual coaching programmes.
Each coaching session is 60 minutes and typically follows this flow:
Sessions are held weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your programme. Between sessions, your coach is available for brief check-ins via WhatsApp or email.
Our individual coaching packages are:
For corporate and group programmes, pricing is based on the scope, duration, and number of participants. Please contact us for a tailored proposal.
We offer a free 30-minute discovery call for all prospective clients, with no obligation to proceed.
Yes. We understand that investing in coaching can feel like a significant commitment, and we want to make it as accessible as possible. We offer:
We also offer a limited number of subsidised coaching places for professionals from underserved communities. Please enquire if you are interested.
Our main office is located at Plot 12, Parliament Avenue, Nakasero, Kampala, Uganda. We are easily accessible from Kololo, the Kampala CBD, and most parts of greater Kampala. Parking is available on-site.
We also offer online coaching via Zoom for clients across Uganda and beyond. Many clients based in Gulu, Mbarara, Entebbe, and internationally conduct their coaching sessions entirely online.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is the foundation of an effective coaching relationship. Everything discussed in coaching sessions is completely confidential. Your coach will not share anything about your sessions with your employer, family, or anyone else.
The only exceptions (in line with the ICF Code of Ethics) are situations involving serious risk of harm to yourself or others β in such cases, we have a clear and transparent protocol for handling this sensitively.
For corporate coaching programmes, we agree the boundaries of confidentiality clearly with both the sponsoring organisation and the individual client before any coaching begins.
We track progress through clear, mutually agreed success metrics established at the start of your coaching programme. We conduct a formal progress review at the midpoint of every engagement, and a comprehensive end-of-programme review to assess outcomes against your original goals.
In our experience, clients typically begin noticing positive changes β in mindset, confidence, communication, or clarity β within the first 4β6 sessions. Deeper, structural changes typically emerge over 3β6 months.
We take client satisfaction very seriously. If at any point you feel your coaching is not meeting your expectations, we encourage you to raise this directly with your coach β an honest coaching relationship requires exactly this kind of feedback.
If after honest conversation you feel a different approach or a different coach would serve you better, we will facilitate a transition at no cost. Our commitment to your growth is genuine, not transactional. Please see our contact page to speak with Dr. Nakimera directly if needed.
Reading about coaching can only tell you so much. The most valuable thing you can do is book a free 30-minute discovery call and experience the Elevate approach first-hand.
There is absolutely no obligation to proceed after your discovery call. Our goal is simply to give you a genuine taste of what coaching with us feels like β and let you decide from a place of experience, not just information.
