It’s not about me.
It’s all about you.
Unlike probably every other coach or mentor out there on the web, the “About” page on my site is not about me.
It’s about you.
Am I the right person you should work with to help you find ways to succeed in your life or your business?
Do I have the right skill set to help you work through and solve the problems or issues that have driven you online seeking help?
And will my track-record in helping senior executives and business owners fit with your unique needs?
You won’t know until we talk
You won’t know
until we talk
This might be the first time you’re looking for help online with your business or personal life.
Or maybe you’re used to working with a mentor or coach and feel it’s time to try just looking for a different?
Although I could put lots of copy and quotes on this page, list my qualifications, and tell you all about my experience helping business owners, executives, young entrepreneurs and the perpetually struggling, the easiest way to quickly work out whether I can help is schedule a call.
How it works
- Fill in this simple contact form below, giving me your name and email address, and I’ll reach out to you within 1 working day to schedule a meeting.
- We’ll talk confidentially online using Zoom for 15-20 mins.
- There is no charge for this first conversation.
- During the call you will get a sense of who I am, raise any questions you may have and discover how working with me could help you. I will get the chance to assess whether I think I can help you with your unique needs.
- If, having talked to you, I feel I’m not the right fit for your unique needs, I’ll let you know and, where possible, recommend someone who could be a better fit.
What happens next?
After our initial call, if we’ve decided we want to work together, you’re invited to book a full session with me. I will then bill you when we’ve talked.
If you choose to book a 1-hour mentoring appointment you are committing to one session (See full Terms & Agreement).
Then, after each time we meet, you will have the opportunity to book another session with me.
I do offer discounted prices for existing customers who know they want to book ongoing meetings over a period of months. But for starters, I bill on a session-by-session basis.
How much mentoring do I need?
Some people need just a couple of sessions working with me to resolve the issues they’re grappling with. Other people choose to work with me for much longer periods – even years. No matter how long we work together, I’m dedicated to providing the best professional mentoring required to help you achieve the kind of success in life and business you want.
The best way to discover if I can help you is to book an initial call.
