Pricing
At Riptide Rescue, we believe access to coaching should be as independent of money as is economically feasible for us. We are public-spirited by background and nature. Accordingly, we aim to set aside a certain number of coaching sessions per month for clients who reasonably believe they lack the funds to pay market rates for coaching and request a lower price on a sliding scale, so that money and coaching are separate issues. Please contact Al or Darlene Bertke for prices on coaching, tele-conferences, seminar presentations or workshops for yourself and your organization.
