My starting point is you know you and your business best. I’ll ask questions, give you time to think, and listen carefully to your replies. Perhaps nudging with further carefully curated questions or gently challenging you until you find your solution. This is how I coach. Other times you might want me to share my experience or views to help co-create your next steps. This is how I mentor. It's possible we will move back and forth along the coaching-mentoring spectrum within each session. My sole role is to be of use to you.

Let’s jump on a call and have a chat. Tell me what you’re looking for and I'll explain how I can help you. If I can't help you, I'll tell you. No obligation, and at my cost. What have you got to lose?

Yes. Coaching is transferable across most business sectors and facets of life, including careers, relationships, transitions or finding your next direction. Let's arrange a call and have a chat so I can understand what you're looking for. I can tell you what I do, how I work and we can go from there.

Brilliant! You’ve come to the right place. Let’s have a conversation about what ‘grow’ means to you and decide what needs to happen to get you there.

Absolutely. I’ve been there. I get it. Sometimes we all need to feel we have someone holding us accountable to get the thing done. I can do that for you.

No. Not in the traditional way. Because coaching is unique to you. At the start of our engagement, we will spend time discussing what you’d like to achieve. We can then structure a plan to do just that. The plan will include your goals, the number of sessions and the cadence which works for you.

No. And that's because it's rarely clear at outset how many sessions you might need and I don't want to keep you any longer than you need just because you have unused sessions.

No problem at all. You can call time on our coaching agreement whenever you want. I'll be here if the need arises again.

You decide! I’m happy to meet in person or virtually on Zoom, Teams or phone. In person meetings may be subject to meeting space hire, and, if outside of London, travel costs too. I'll make sure you're aware of any additional costs before they are incurred.

Anything we discuss will be, and remain, confidential. If a third party (such as an employer, employee or business partner) needs to be involved, we'll discuss the sharing of relevant information with your permission. I may record sessions for training and supervision purposes. I will ask for your permission before doing so. I abide by the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics.  I can provide a copy on request.

I know life can get in the way at times, so I aim to be flexible. If you're able to give me 24 hours’ notice that would be appreciated and no cancellation fee will apply.

A coach will help you identify your goals, overcome obstacles and develop the skills you need to learn, grow and thrive. They do this by asking carefully curated questions, giving you space to think, listening actively and helping you create a plan of action. A mentor helps in a similar way to a coach and also shares any relevant experience and views. A consultant is typically engaged to fulfil a particular project, which is likely to include discovery, research, findings, conclusions and an action plan for you to implement.
