Decision & Direction Session

When you need to work something out.

You’ve got a decision to make, a problem to solve or an opportunity you’re considering and you’ve reached the point where thinking about it isn’t getting you any further.

Maybe there are several options and you can see the pros and cons of all of them. Maybe something isn’t working, but you’re too close to it to see what needs to change. Or perhaps you’ve got an idea you’re excited about and need an experienced perspective to help you work out whether to move it forward and how.

This is a focused business consultation where we’ll look at what’s really going on, explore the options, challenge assumptions and work out the right way forward.

Sometimes you don’t need ongoing support, you just need the right person in the room.

What could we work through?

There’s no set agenda for a Decision & Direction Session. You bring the decision, problem, idea or opportunity you want to work through and we focus the conversation around that.

You might come to me because:

  • You’ve been presented with an opportunity and need to decide whether it’s the right one to pursue.

  • You know something isn’t working, but you’re too close to it to see what the real problem is.

  • You’ve got several priorities competing for attention and need to work out what should come first.

  • You’re considering a new service, direction or change and want to think through the implications before committing.

  • You’ve got an idea you want to pursue but need to work out what it would actually take to make it happen.

  • You’re facing a decision around people, systems, operations or ways of working and would value an experienced, independent perspective.

Or it might just be something you’ve been turning over in your head for weeks and you’re ready to stop going round in circles.

You don’t need to arrive knowing the answer - that’s what the session is for.

  • “What stood out to me most was how seen I felt in the session. It wasn’t just about my business, it was about me - how I think, how I felt and what I actually wanted. That changed everything. You created a space where I could properly think, without distraction or pressure, and that alone made such a difference. By the end, things that had been going round in my head for weeks suddenly felt simple. Not easy necessarily, but clear. And that clarity gave me the confidence to move forward.”

  • “I came into the session feeling completely overwhelmed. I had so many ideas, so many things I thought I should be doing, and no real sense of what actually mattered. What I didn’t expect was how quickly things would start to feel clearer just by talking it through. You have such a calm way of listening, I never felt rushed or like I needed to have the ‘right’ answers. By the end of the session, I had a completely different perspective. Not a long to-do list, but a clear sense of direction and what I could let go of. That alone lifted a huge weight. It felt less like a strategy session and more like coffee with someone who really cared about me and my business who helped me make finally make sense of everything I was carrying.”

  • “I’ve had plenty of business conversations before, but this felt very different. You don’t jump in with advice or try to fix things too quickly. You really take the time to understand what’s going on, not just in the business, but for me. There’s a patience and calmness to how you work that makes it easy to open up and be honest about what’s actually happening behind the scenes. What I found most valuable was how you reflected things back. You picked up on things I hadn’t fully realised myself, and that’s what created the clarity. I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and much more confident in the decisions I needed to make. Thanks so much Jen”

Scope & Fees

Decision & Direction is a focused consultation, available online or in person where practical. We’ll start with a brief conversation about what you’d like to work through so I can understand what you need from the session. I’ll then confirm the format and fee before we book. This isn’t an ongoing commitment or packaged programme - it’s dedicated time to work through a specific decision, problem or opportunity with an experienced Business Consultant alongside you. We’ll explore what’s happening, consider the options, challenge assumptions and work out the right way forward.

FAQs

  • Not at all. If you already know what you need, we can go straight into Project Leadership or a 90-Day Business Edit.

    But if you’re not sure what the problem is, what you need or what the best next step looks like, a Decision & Direction Session can be a useful place to start.

  • No. This is a focused business consultation built around a real decision, problem or opportunity in your business. I’ll bring my experience, perspective and questions to the conversation and I’ll challenge, suggest and advise where it’s useful.

  • For some clients, the session is all they need - they leave knowing what they’ve decided, what needs attention and what happens next.

    If our conversation identifies something that would benefit from further support, we can talk about what that could look like. There’s never any expectation to continue working together.
