Guidance
Work with me directly
Two ways in, depending on whether you would rather do the work yourself or talk it through with someone. There is only one of me, which is the limit and also the point.

— Thirty minutes with me at the end of week two
$250

Not sure which
Where to start
If you have not read anything of mine — start with the book at $10, or the free letter. There is no sense paying for my time before you know whether we think alike.
If you want structure — The Four Weeks. Cheapest, most structured, and it includes a call anyway.
If you are stuck on one specific thing — a one-to-one. Sixty minutes, no preparation beyond a short note.
If you want the written picture first — The Reading. Sixty-six pages on your pattern, your work and the year ahead. Many people take it and then book an hour.
If you just want to keep reading — The Letters, seven dollars a month, and 15% off all of the above.

A synthesis drawing the three togetherWhy me
Most advisors have never lost anything
That is the whole difference, and it is worth being blunt about it.
01 Fifteen years building companies
Across three countries, in two industries, with clients including UNICEF, the IRC, GIZ, MetLife and the NHS.
02 One of them collapsed completely
Not a downturn. Gone in weeks. I know what four in the morning feels like and I will not pretend otherwise.
03 I rebuilt twice, in two countries
From an empty office with no clients, then again from scratch somewhere else.
04 I am still operating
Two companies, now. I am not a coach who read about this. I am in it this week, same as you.
Questions
Common to all of it
Are you qualified?
Not in any formal sense, and I would rather say so plainly. I am not a therapist, a counsellor, a licensed adviser or a trained astrologer. I am someone who has built companies for fifteen years, lost one completely, and rebuilt twice.
Is this coaching?
No. Coaching asks you questions until you find your own answer. I will do that where it helps, but I will also tell you plainly when I think you are wrong.
What if I am in real difficulty?
Then none of this is the right thing and I will say so. Please speak to a professional — I will happily point you towards one.
Which time zones?
UK, Europe, India and US East Coast, comfortably. West Coast is possible, early for you.
Do you work with companies?
Sometimes — talks and workshops. Email and tell me what you have in mind.
Refunds?
Sessions refundable with 24 hours’ notice. Cohorts until they begin. Readings until I start writing.
