Our Spellbook (AKA FAQ)

Working Magic is a coaching service for people who have goals they would like to achieve, whether those goals are big or small. We provide you with a personalized plan for how to gamify the hard work that goes into achieving big things and coaching sessions to help you stick with it.

Gamification is a method of adding fun into things that are traditionally not very fun. This is done by applying elements of games to everyday life, such as points, progress bars, rewards systems, and progression systems. We’ve taken this research-backed method of improving learning outcomes for students and applied it to goal accomplishment.

You probably have some sort of goal or dream. Put simply, we will help you make those dreams a reality. It’s nearly impossible in today’s world to find the time and energy required to invest in yourself. Work, childcare, eldercare, chores, maintaining a social life, etc. are all part of what makes up that pesky thing called “life” that often gets in the way of our goals. We help you fold progressing towards your goals into your daily life by making it fun to do so.

We’re also with you for the long haul. Our methodology is built to help you push past the discouragement that often comes with long-term goals. We provide structure, accountability, and tips for pushing through the barriers that life will put up.

Working Magic is for everyone, but especially for anyone who has big ideas and just needs a gentle push in the right direction, or anyone who has started working towards a goal but has stalled out. We’re here to make your dreams a reality, whether you’re starting fresh or trying to get un-stuck.

No “secret recipes” or “proprietary algorithms” here. We blend evidence-based practices from the fields of adult learning theory, marketing, motivational interviewing, and game design then sprinkle gamification on top to guide you on your journey. Our process and philosophy are innately human-centered and focus on what works for YOU and you alone. The result is a service that is unlike anything else you’ll find.

Our process starts with an initial consultation where we get to know you and your goal(s). From there, we spend some time crafting a personalized, gamified plan for accomplishing those goals that’s unique to your interests. We will then review that plan with you and (if you want) schedule recurring check-ins to provide guidance as you progress.

We offer free 30 minute consults if you’re not sure this is the right fit, or if you just have questions.

Our base package is $250 and includes a 1 hour initial meeting, a customized goals plan, and a 1 hour plan review session.

We also offer ongoing check-in and coaching meeting packages that vary in price based on the number of sessions booked, but are generally between $50-$100 per session.

We offer discounts for individuals in the non-profit sector (including educators) and for work on goals that materially benefit marginalized communities.
