A focused conversation

1:1 Career Strategy Session

Focused support for a specific career or workplace situation.

This 60-minute session is designed for you if you have a particular situation, decision or challenge you want to think through properly.

You may be preparing for a difficult conversation, trying to decide how to respond to feedback, navigating a stakeholder issue, considering a career move or simply trying to work out what your next step should be.

Before the session, you will complete a short intake form so we can understand the context and use our time well.

During the session, we will unpack the situation, challenge assumptions, explore the options available to you and identify practical next steps.

You will leave with a clearer approach and specific actions to take.

Support over time

1-Month Private Career Coaching

Focused support to work through an important career or workplace priority over time.

Some situations need more than one conversation.

You may know what you want to change but need support applying it, navigating what happens next and adjusting your approach as new situations arise.

The 1-month coaching engagement gives us enough time to understand what is happening, identify the priority, take action in your actual workplace and review what happens.

Your engagement includes:

  • 90-minute Career Diagnostic & Strategy Session
  • Workplace Effectiveness Assessment
  • Clear coaching priority and action plan
  • Two additional 60-minute private coaching sessions
  • Relevant Corporate Basics tools and frameworks
  • Support preparing for selected conversations or decisions
  • Between-session WhatsApp or voice-note support
  • End-of-month review and recommended next steps

Throughout the month, our sessions may involve preparing for a conversation, reviewing something that happened at work, working through a recurring pattern, making an important decision or identifying what you need to do differently.

The goal is to help you move from simply understanding the issue to actually trying a different approach and learning from what happens.

Which option is right for you?

Choose the Career Strategy Session if you have one specific situation, conversation or decision you want support with.

Choose 1-Month Private Career Coaching if you are working through a broader issue or priority and would benefit from support as you apply changes over several weeks.
