Working Together

Frequently Asked Coaching Questions

Getting Started

These Coaching Questions Cover What It Is Like To Work Together And What You Can Expect.

My time and money is precious, why should I work with you?

The 25 years of battle-hardened experience from running my own businesses has given me the real life experience to now share with others.

I am very results and solutions-driven, I understand how important your time, money and energy is. I judge my coaching success on what I help you achieve.

I am here to help you deliver the results that you want without tying you up in knots with jargon and fluffy coaching.

What type of people do you work with?

Those who are ambitious have an appetite to do better in life and place real value on the outcomes of change.

I work with people at all stages of their business careers who are juggling the stresses and challenges of both business and life, but are determined to perform at a higher, more consistent level. I work with those who place high importance on working with a coach who has many things in common with their lived experience.

How much will our sessions cost?

Our first 30 mins + discovery call is totally FREE and with no expectaions for any future paid sessions. Ultimately I am here to bring you clear positive results and deliver you value.

Once we have had our free chat to understand your requirements and level of support required I can then create a tailored plan around you. You might just want 1 paid session to see how it goes, you might want weekly sessions that you only committ to and pay for at the end of each session. You might also want to sign up for a block of sesssions to give you peace of mind and a clear you a clear plan for us to work towards whereby I can plan the flow of areas that we will cover.

As well though as our 1 : 1 time I also offer daily check in’s including accountability and motivation. I am also on hand for messages & chats regarding any specific or random things that might pop up that you want to share. I know what it feels like when money can be a bit tight, I do though want my support to be financially available to as many people as possible and so I will always look to keep prices down to the lowest figures possible.

I suggest, we jump on a call and if you come away from the call feeling more energised, extra motivated and less stressed then we look at what the money side looks like and if you dont feel like that then I am not the coach for you, these are the high standards I set for myself.

How does the discovery call work?

We spend 30 minutes having a no-pressure, easy going chat to understand your goals. We will understand where you are stuck, your challenges, and what is holding you back before we build a solution. We will determine the level of support you need and your priorities so we can focus on them.

Most importantly, we connect on a human level to help you decide whether I am the right coach to help you get the best out of yourself. There are no obligations moving forward.

Do you work with both men and women?

Yes, I work with both men and women. While I have found that some women connect very positively with my male perspective, in the same way that many men also benefit from working with a female coach.

Ultimately, I believe what matters most is the connection, along with empathy, energy, and real-life experience.

Do you do in-person or only online sessions?

I work both in-person and online. I am based in the Wirral, UK and am close to Liverpool, Manchester and Chester.

I am happy to travel anywhere in the UK or overseas when required and the right fit for all.

Results & Process

How fast will I get results?

From our very first session, you will feel lighter and enthused with energy and clarity, if not, then I am not the right coach for you.

Every session will bring progress as we continually build positive momentum.

After 4 sessions, the compound benefits will start to create a new baseline of how you think and react.

How many sessions will I need?

I keep it simple, flexible and with no pressure and if needs be, you can sign up session by session.

However, to feel the mid and long-term benefits, I suggest a minimum of 4 sessions for lasting improvements. This allows us to create a plan to achieve the success in whatever area is important to you and then give us chance to reflect on our progress. Many clients dip in and out of sessions when they feel stuck or overwhelmed with a particular challenge, or have a specific goal to achieve.

What makes a good coach?

One that has the experience to understand and have empathy for where you are. To be a good listener, keep you motivated, accountable and support you shoulder to shoulder to help you overcome your challenges.

A good coach helps build on your strengths, has the medals and scars of real experience and stays focused on your development in the fastest time possible.

A good coach does not hide behind PDFs, corporate jargon or fluffy coaching buzzwords. A good coach helps you overachieve through the results they deliver.

What is my coaching style like?

I cut to the chase so we can go from A to B in the straightest and fastest line possible. I use empathy to understand how you are feeling and then share real-life experiences to find the solutions. I place importance on helping build a more positive, resilient mindset with a balanced perspective.

I bring positive energy, motivation, and fresh ideas, and I create a calming space to help you think.

I will challenge you when needed, keep you accountable, build on your strengths and celebrate your victories with you.

Why is mindset so important?

The fact that you are on my website is proof that you have already achieved success, have a mindset of self-awareness and self-development.

Developing my mindset over the years has been crucial to me and is often the missing piece in the puzzle to growth, success, health and life balance.

Mindset, I believe, is the foundation of our house or the roots of our tree.

Services & Support

Many of these coaching questions relate to real business challenges I help solve.

What areas of my business can you help me with?

Sales and marketing are my core strengths. I built and scaled my fitness and wellness tech brand from a £10k kitchen table startup to £7+ million in global sales, becoming the UK leader in our category. That journey required me to be hands-on across every critical part of the business as the team grew.

I support founders and leadership teams with scaling, securing investment, building the right team and improving communication across the business. My focus is on helping you make the best decisions, weigh risk versus reward and avoid costly mistakes

What business sectors do you cover?

Most. In general the challenges across sectors are very similar with people, growth, problem solving, communication and performance at the centre.

I have 30 years of direct experience in the ITAD sector with a focus on ethical disposal and maximising the remarketing value of IT equipment. I also have clients that want to improve their route to market in UK or Overseas on end of line clearance and regular stock. I also have 8 years experience of brand building, creating a sales channel and building partnerships with high profile rights holders.

Do you help with life challenges or only business?

Both. If we are honest, work and life often overlap, although business is usually the first focus. Ultimately, I am here to support what matters most to you.

Without solid and healthy foundations in life, it is not possible to achieve sustainable success or in many times actually enjoy the success you have worked so hard for.

I have definitely ridden the Rollercoaster in life and business, which now allows me to help others overcome their own challenges and become their best selves.

Can you help grow our brand awareness and create Partnership deals?
Yes, my partnership strategy was a huge part of how, in a short period of time, we achieved huge awareness and credibility in the UK and overseas. Strategic deals at times can be created purely on gifting products when other times a reduced financial deal can be negotiated. 
Our partnerships included several Premier League Football Teams, British Gymnastics, Middlesex Cricket, Team UAE Cycling, Leicester Tigers, the Justin Rose Ladies Golf Series, the England Rugby League World Cup, GB Boxing, Loughborough Sport, and other global sports teams.
PR is also a key part to help grow your brand, this again is something I can help advise and connect you to the right PR company.
How does your Team Coaching work?

Whether it’s a one-off chat or regular support for your team, I deliver whatever you need.

A different voice can inject a bit of fresh energy and share new ideas while working towards targets you feel are important.

I create an environment that gives everybody a voice, which often leads team members to decide they could benefit further from more one-to-one training sessions with me, often paying for extra sessions themselves.

My team or department has gone a bit flat. Can you help?

Yes! Motivation, fresh energy, new ideas, sharper focus and better communication are all areas in which I thrive.

I don’t deal in unnecessary corporate waffle or waste time; I help cut through noise, egos, and obstacles to boost team spirit and motivate your team with a firm eye on what is important.

I understand the very different challenges faced by employees and leaders. Messaging from leaders over time can lose impact through familiarity.

Do you deliver training and informational / motivational talks?

Yes, whether that is a one-off session or part of a structured programme.

Areas I cover include sales, communication, wellness, including life balance, mindset and how to avoid mental and physical burnout.

I start by understanding your needs and then tailor my approach to your requirements.

Tell me more about Consultancy?

Within your business, I work hands-on or hands off as you require, whether it is advice, support, or to do the heavy lifting for a particular project.

I can act as an experienced sounding board and give access to my trusted network built up over many years.

About the Coach

Why did you decide to become a coach?

After 25 years of running my own businesses, it feels like the right time to put that experience to use to help others. I have enjoyed success and been blessed with many highlights.

I have also lived through intense pressures and lows of business, family life and mental health that often all overlapped while I was still being fiercely ambitious and building my businesses.

I know what it takes to build a resilient, positive mindset that helps you bounce back from difficult moments and see life with a broader perspective.

What motivates me as a coach?

I love helping people become their best version of themselves and achieve success in whatever is important to them.

I have also been blessed over the years to have had many good people support me, and I appreciate the importance of it. It now feels right for me to help others pursue their ambitions and goals, but without losing themselves or risking their health.

Still Have Questions?

Chemistry is key to any successful coaching relationship. I offer a no-pressure, free discovery call to help you decide if this is the right fit.

My focus is to help you succeed professionally while also supporting you on a human level to enjoy that success.

If you still have coaching questions, feel free to get in touch.
