Career Coaching & the Highlands Ability Battery in Black Mountain

Why we work in Black Mountain

Tight-knit Christian school networks here produce close referrals. The Highlands works well alongside a family's existing values framework — it adds objective data rather than competing with the way families already make decisions.

How engagements work here

Black Mountain and Swannanoa sit east of Asheville on the I-40 corridor. Asheville Christian Academy is here; many Christ School day-student families live in this region too.

Frequently asked, locally

Do I have to come to Black Mountain in person?

No. The Highlands Ability Battery is taken online, and the two-hour debrief can happen in person, over video, or split (e.g., debrief in person, follow-up over video). Most clients choose at least one in-person session because the conversation is materially better face-to-face.

Where do you meet in Black Mountain?

We use a small set of professional spaces — typically a downtown office or a quiet co-working spot. Specific location is confirmed when you book.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes. The Highlands assessment is straightforward at $495. The eight-session coaching program is offered in two installments. We’ll walk through it on the initial call.
