Business Breakthrough 1-2-1

“I came into the session full of overwhelm and self-doubt and left with a clear plan and confidence that I can do this.”
— Business  Breakthrough session client

Feel stuck, foggy, or just craving some focused time to think? Let’s talk it through.

Running a business often means carrying a lot in your head — ideas, decisions, to-do lists, worries — with very little time or space actually to process it all.

Maybe you’re…

  • Ticking things off but not feeling the momentum

  • Second-guessing your next steps

  • Juggling so many thoughts you can’t find a clear path forward

You’re not alone. It happens to all of us.

And the way through? It’s rarely doing more.
It’s having space to pause.
To speak your thoughts out loud.
To untangle things with someone who really gets it.

Let’s be honest — this is why I pay for a coach, too.
My poor husband can’t take the ear-battering when I’m in processing mode, and he’s in a completely different industry — he doesn’t run his own business, so of course, he just doesn’t get it.

But I do.

This is your space to be heard, supported, and to walk away with clarity — and a plan you actually want to follow.

This isn’t just a strategy session—it’s a pause, a reset, and a plan.

The Business Breakthrough Session is a one-off 1:1 session designed to help you reconnect with your vision, clarify your priorities, and develop a focused plan of action.

Whether you’re finding it hard to get back into your business after a slower summer, questioning your direction, or just feeling a bit flat and disconnected, this is a space to be honest, explore what’s going on, and find your way forward with support.

This is for you if…

  • You’re feeling a bit lost or flat and want to regain direction

  • You have lots of ideas but no clear plan

  • You’re running a business solo and need someone to bounce things off

  • You’re stuck in the weeds and need to zoom out again

  • You know it’s time for a reset, but you don’t want another big course or program

Here’s how it works:

Pre-session questionnaire
Before we meet, you’ll get a short but powerful set of questions to help you reflect on your business, your finances, and how you're feeling about work. (Clients often say the questionnaire alone sparks major realisations.)

One-to-one session (60 minutes)
We’ll meet on Zoom for a focused, supportive conversation tailored to you.You bring the real stuff — the tangled thoughts, tricky decisions, or big ideas that need sorting. I’ll bring clear thinking, honest reflection, and coaching that cuts through the noise.

Once you’ve completed a short questionnaire, we’ll hone in on the 1–3 areas that matter most right now. You don’t need to prepare anything else — just turn up ready to talk it out.

 

Personalised summary
After your session, I’ll send you a short summary with key takeaways and suggested next steps to help you stay on track.

What clients say:

“You helped me to get clear on what I’m doing and where I’m going.”
— Coaching client

“You helped me find clarity and get out of the rut of ‘I don’t know what to do.’”
— Group programme client

“You always create space for me to talk, reflect and share what’s really going on.”
— 1:1 coaching client

“You helped me realise I don’t need to do everything at once—and that was such a relief.”
— Coaching client

“I hadn’t realised how stuck I felt until we started talking. Thank you for creating space and asking the right questions.”
— Coaching client

“I got off the call feeling lighter, clearer, and more focused than I’ve felt in months.”
— Business  Breakthrough session client

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

This session is for when you’re ready to pause, reflect, and gain clarity and direction without having to commit to a long programme.

Sometimes, one conversation really can change everything.
