TO SUPPORT You IN CREATING OR reALIGNING your STORY
Getting clarity on the different elements of your story is the first step of realigning your business to make it work better for you.
It helps you to explore what’s not working, and the changes you need to make to help it fiow. People say that it helps them feel passionate about their business again.
It’s not always easy to see your Story yourself, because you’re just too close to it, but coaching can help you see what’s happening from a birds eye view, so you have the clarity you need to move forward.
Over the course of these 1-1 coaching sessions (a minimum of six), I hold your hand while you build your new Story and create a plan to move you towards making those changes.
Introducing
1-1 COACHING
Feeling stuck in your business or role? Feel that you’re in a black hole and there’s no way out?
These sessions are designed to help you identify what’s not working any more and create a new business vision, more aligned to your needs.

They can either take place virtually or in person (for West Midlands based).

Story Coaching is a tailored way to help you get clear on your vision, purpose and values, and learn to communicate it better – whether it’s with your teams, stakeholders or customers, using stories. These sessions are flexible to the way you work, your goals and your level of experience. Every person’s experience of Story Coaching is unique, because everyone’s goals, experiences and personal preferences are unique.
The brilliant thing about these 1-1 sessions is they are completely flexible and geared to your needs. In the sessions we give you time to unpack your current reality, what’s not working and why. And then I will guide you to get clear on your new vision.
Together, we create a step by step plan over the sessions, to help you move towards that vision, so you can realign your business to meet your needs, and give you your life and peace of mind back!
On the coaching and surgery sessions you’ll come away from each session with a plan of action to complete to help you achieve your overall objectives.
Sessions start at 1hr long, but can be longer if required. We can discuss this by email or on a discovery call.
Yes, all the sessions can be done virtually and this is the way I usually work, In fact, sessions can only be done in person within the West Midlands, and these may be subject to a supplementary fee, due to travel and extra time costs.
It depends on what works for you. I’ve found the best frequency is often every couple of weeks. But some people prefer weekly and some people prefer monthly. The only recommendation I have is that they’re at regular intervals (to create momentum), and you have enough time between sessions to complete any actions coming out of your session.
I’m both, although I lean towards a coaching approach, as I believe this helps create a longer lasting result that’s more tailored to you.
A mentor is someone who works with someone from their learned experience (usually in a specific skill area), and a coach is someone who uses coaching skills and questioning techniques to find the best solution for their coachee.
I am a fully qualified Executive Coach (ILM level 7). Which means I can help you find the best solutions for you (depending on your personality type, preference, experience and context). But I also have a lot of experience in communications and journalism to act as a mentor in these areas.
Anyone that wants to create meaningful connections with people and is willing to do the work to get there. Everyone and every business has stories to tell and can tell them in an engaging way, when they know how. They just have to be willing to put themself out there and be vulnerable (although I can help with tools to make that easier). As long as someone is willing to do the work, they always have stories to tell and can be coached to tell them well.
Story Coaching doesn’t work for people who: think stories are fluffy and unimportant; already think they’re brilliant storytellers and people who aren’t interested in putting the work in to get the results. Coaching only works when you’re invested in the process and are open to it.
Great!
If you want to sign up for 1-1 Brand Story Coaching sessions, then drop me a line to arrange a discovery call. As these sessions are more in depth, we need to have a chat to discuss your overall objectives and the way of working. We can then take it from there.
If you have any other queries, you can just drop me a line here.
Although both sessions are carried out on a 1-1 basis, their aims are very different. The 1-1 Story Coaching sessions are part of a longer term programme (minimum of 6 sessions) which work towards longer term goals. This leads to a deeper change, as it happens over a longer period of time.
The Story Surgery Sessions are again 1-1, but are designed to tackle a specific topic around storytelling and communications. It’s basically access to my brain for an hour, where we work through an issue together and then you come away with a plan.
