FAQs

Q: Do my coaching minutes expire?

A: Coaching hours and other services are non-transferrable. You must be an active Athena member to use your services. When your membership expires, you will lose your remaining coaching minutes and other services. Members who renew without interruption will be given up to three (3) months to use any remaining coaching hours and other services purchased the previous year.

Q: How do I cancel or reschedule a coaching session?

A: We ask that members cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance. We seek to mutually honor and respect the time and commitment of our coaches. If you cancel with less than 24-hours’ notice without an emergency exemption, your scheduled time with your coach will be counted as complete and deducted from your total remaining minutes. In cases of emergency, please contact the coach directly or write to [email protected] to assist in cancelling your session.

Q: Can I apply for opportunities before finishing my coaching minutes?

A: You can apply for opportunities at any time. Make sure to write a strong pitch statement explaining in detail how you align with the opportunity's specific requirements. You will also be asked to share your most recent CV and bio. Apply and view opportunities here.

Q: When do you recommend I start using my coaching minutes?

A: Scheduling a session with a coach within the first 2 months of membership is recommended. This will fast-track your progress and set you up for success throughout your membership year.

Q: Can I get a refund after purchasing hours?

A: No, Athena does not offer refunds on coaching hours.

Q: If I cancel my membership and then rejoin later, do my coaching hours reactive?

A: No. If you cancel your membership and cease to be a member at any point, your coaching hours do not reactive upon signing up again. To keep all coaching hours available, ensure you renew and remain active in Athena.
