Coaching & pricing
Three ways to work with me – priced in plain sight.
I don’t do “investment starts at…” or prices behind a sales call. Here’s everything I offer, what it costs, what happens inside it – and, further down, an honest note on who I’m not the right coach for.
All of it starts with a free conversation.
Whichever door you choose, the first step is the same thirty-minute discovery call – free, on video, and genuinely exploratory. Around a quarter of those calls end with me suggesting something other than coaching.

The 90-Day Reset, session by session
Six sessions. Three months. One honest plan.
The Reset follows the same spine every time, shaped around your situation. Nothing here is a surprise on the day – you’ll know exactly what each session is for before you book it. Scroll along the arc.
Free · 30 min
Week 0 – Discovery call
We meet. You talk.
Thirty minutes on video. You tell me where you are; I ask the questions your mates are too polite to. We both decide if this is a fit – no pitch, no pressure.
Week 1 – Session one
Where you actually are
A full career audit: what you do, what it costs you, what it pays you back. Most clients discover the stuckness has a shape – and a start date.
Week 3 – Session two
What you actually want
Not what LinkedIn wants. We separate the goal you inherited from the one that’s yours, and write a definition of “better” specific enough to steer by. We also review the fit honestly – this is the refund checkpoint.
Week 5 – Session three
The story you tell
The version of you in your own head is usually two promotions out of date. We rewrite it – for interviews, for your boss, and mostly for you.
Week 7 – Session four
The move
Promotion case, career pivot, hard conversation, or new role – we choose the one move that changes the game, and plan it in concrete steps with dates on.
Week 9 – Session five
The rehearsal
You don’t wing the conversation that changes your career. We rehearse it live – the ask, the pushback, the pause – until your voice stops apologising.
Week 12 – Session six
The review
What moved, what didn’t, and why. You leave with a twelve-month map and the habit that matters most: noticing stuck early, and acting on it.
Between sessions you have a message line straight to me – voice notes or email – for the moments that won’t wait a fortnight. Most clients use it the night before the big conversation.
Inside a session
What 75 minutes with me actually looks like
People imagine coaching as either a cosy chat or an interrogation. It’s neither. It’s a working session with a structure – the same one every fortnight, so your thinking gets somewhere.
-
What’s moved since last time
You report back on your commitments – the ones you made, not ones I set. What happened, what didn’t, and what that tells us. No judgement, but no pretending either.
-
The work
One question, held open longer than feels comfortable. I’ll ask, probe, reflect back what I hear, and occasionally say the sentence you’ve been circling for twenty minutes. You’ll do most of the talking; that’s the point. If it’s a rehearsal session, we’re on our feet – I play your boss, and I don’t play nice.
-
Commitments
You name two or three concrete actions with dates on them, out loud, in your own words. Vague plans don’t leave the room – I’ll keep asking “what specifically?” until they’re real.
-
Notes within 24 hours
A short written summary of what surfaced and what you committed to – yours to keep, never shared with anyone, employer-funded or not. Then the message line is open until we next meet.
For teams
New Manager Foundations – the day, hour by hour
Most organisations promote their best specialists and then leave them to work out management by trial and error – mostly error. This is one practical day that shortcuts the worst of it, built around your managers’ real situations, not case studies from a textbook.
-
The job you actually took
What changes on day one of managing – and the old job you have to consciously put down. Each manager maps where their week really goes.
-
Delegation without guilt
Why new managers hoard work, and the handover script that stops it. Practised in pairs on tasks people actually brought with them.
-
Lunch
Provided if we’re in your office; strongly encouraged if we’re remote.
-
Feedback that lands
The difference between feedback and criticism-with-a-smile. Live rehearsal of one real conversation each manager has been putting off.
-
Your first 90 days, planned
Every manager leaves with a written first-90-days plan – priorities, one-to-one cadence, and the first hard conversation with a date on it.
-
Commitments & close
Each manager names one change their team will notice within a fortnight. I follow up at the fortnight mark – in writing.

I run a handful of these each quarter so the 1:1 practice stays primary. If you need a date this month, say so in the enquiry and I’ll tell you straight whether I can do it well.

Honesty, as a policy
Who I’m not the right coach for
Coaching is a specific tool, and it isn’t always the right one. I’d rather lose an enquiry than waste your quarter. Please don’t book if:
- You want to be told what to do. That’s mentoring or consultancy, and both are legitimate – but they’re not what I sell. If advice is what you need, I’ll say so on the discovery call and suggest people who give it well.
- The heaviest thing in the room is clinical. Burnout at the edge of collapse, anxiety that predates the job, depression – these deserve a therapist first, and coaching alongside or after. I’ll help you find one; I keep a referral list for exactly this.
- You’ve been sent, and you don’t want to be here. Employer-funded coaching works brilliantly when the client chooses it – and not at all when it’s a performance-management box being ticked. I’ll check this with you privately, and I decline those engagements.
- You can’t protect the time. The Reset needs 75 minutes a fortnight plus an hour or two of real-world action between sessions. If this quarter genuinely can’t hold that, wait for one that can – I’d rather you start well in three months than badly on Monday.

Then the free call is probably worth thirty minutes.
Bring the situation, not a polished summary. I’ll ask better questions than a booking form can.
