Introducing: The Drop-in Sessions

Drop-in sessions are 50-minute, one-to-one coaching or mentoring sessions held over zoom or the phone.

You might use your Drop-in session to…

…receive some ‘behind the scenes’ support with a challenge you are facing in your current role and receive coaching to help you move forward and resolve it in a way that feels authentic

…get clearer on what the next step is on your path towards more meaningful work, whether that be within your current corporate career or as you create a pathway out, so you feel more energised and inspired to take action

Or, perhaps you simply want to experience working with me without needing to commit to a longer-term programme.

A drop-in session could be a good fit if you:

• are feeling generally lacklustre about your career and would like some support as you explore and move towards what more meaningful work could be for you

• have left your corporate role and are early in your entrepreneurial or freelance journey, and are finding it harder that you thought to get your business off the ground

• are new in role, or are soon to be promoted and want to hit the ground running and do a great job, but without it consuming the next six months of your life

• have been through some training about growing your leadership, or have felt inspired by content online about moving into more meaningful work but are feeling stuck when it comes to putting what you’re learning into practice, and want support in moving through this

• have attended one of my Zoom workshops or are working through my downloadable guide: Getting started with having more authentic conversations at work and would like some guidance/support as you implement what you are learning

• are experiencing difficulty with achieving balance between your home and work-life and want support in making sustainable changes to how this feels

• have a particular situation arising at work, for example a presentation, meeting or interview, that is taking up a lot of your head-space and you would like to feel differently about it

• are finding a particular working relationship tricky to navigate and would appreciate a confidential space to explore how you could handle it

• are struggling with the leadership challenges related to the pandemic, be it leading a team remotely or dealing with the unprecedented challenges of delivering key services to customers

• are becoming increasingly aware of patterns of thinking and behaviour that are having a negative impact on your experience of work and life beyond it, and would like support on how you can move beyond these

• have worked with me previously, would appreciate my support again, but are not in a position to commit to a longer-term coaching programme

• are considering a career in coaching or are a newly trained coach and would like to ‘pick my brains’ (ask me anything!) about the realities of establishing and growing your own successful coaching business as you develop your own plans

How Drop-In sessions differ from my usual one-to-one work

1. No commitment required; you can sign-up for one session only, or, you can sign up for additional sessions as wanted/needed. It is entirely up to you.

2. There is no ongoing contact between sessions as there is in my other coaching offerings. The only exception is if there is a resource I recommend as a useful follow up for you, I will email the details if I can’t remember the specifics in the moment during our session.

3. When you book, I will offer a couple of questions to help you prepare so you can get the most from our time together, but I won’t read anything that you send me ahead. I’m offering these sessions as a way to make one-to-one work with me more accessible, whilst also honouring the value of my time.

4. I may not be video ready; I will usually be offering these sessions on days when I am not doing any other client-facing work. So there’s a good chance I may turn up in my Stranger Things hoody and no make-up :) If you feel that is unprofessional, then me and these sessions are probably not for you.

5. The investment is £120 GBP per session. My one-to-one non-corporate individual rates are more than double that, and my corporate rates more than double that again in most cases. I am offering this price to lower the risk for you, if you have not experienced working with me previously.

6. There will be a maximum of 6 Drop-in Sessions available per month and depending on my schedule, often less. They are only available at the times shown on the booking page, and once they are gone they are gone.

7. There is a no refund policy; If you haven’t experienced my coaching before, please make sure you have checked out my home page, philosophy page and watched a couple of my YouTube videos before booking. Coming along to one of my no-charge or low-charge workshops will also give you a good sense of my approach. I am not for everyone, so please only book if my philosophy resonates with you.

8. Once you’ve booked your session, the time cannot be changed: this policy is in place to honour the value of my time, and to support you in making your own development a priority. I offer my one-to-one long-term clients more flexibility than this, but this is the deal for this offer at this price.
