How working with me works

I no longer offer open-access discovery calls.

Instead, this form acts as a thoughtful starting point.

A chance for me to understand a few things:

Where you are now.
What you’re navigating.
What kind of support may actually feel helpful.

I read every application personally and respond thoughtfully, usually via voice note.

If it feels like a good fit, the next step is usually one of two things.

1. The Co-Thinking 'Clarity' Power Hour

A strategic thinking space for medics who need clarity, perspective and momentum.

This 1:1 offer is now replacing both the old Power Hours and the 30-day Clarity programme.

It includes:

• Initial prep questions
• A 60-minute 1:1 Zoom session
• Personalised reflections and a written summary in Google Drive
• A practical 30-day next steps guide
• A broader 90-day plan
• Further exploration of any major issues that come up
• A check-in after 2 weeks
• An invitation to one or two relevant calls that month inside the Start Up Support Surgery

For some people, this one conversation is enough to unlock the next stage.

If it feels like the right fit for both of us, you may then be invited into the Start Up Support Surgery, and your Power Hour investment will be deducted from the cost of the main programme.

2. The Start Up Support Surgery

The Start Up Support Surgery is an ongoing community, learning hub and supportive space for medics doing things differently.

It is the hand-holding, cheerleading, parachute, support and drive you need on the journey into something more aligned.

Part coaching.
Part mentoring.
Part business strategy.
Part conversation.
Part visibility.
Part personal growth.
Part professional network.
Part magic.

It is designed for people who want thoughtful long-term support while building businesses, portfolio careers, visibility and more meaningful ways of working around real life.

Some people join right at the beginning with a vague idea and a lot of uncertainty.

Others arrive with established businesses but realise they no longer want to build in isolation.

What connects people is usually not a specific niche or business model.

It is the desire to create work and lives that feel more sustainable, more human and more aligned with who they are becoming as they shift from medicine into doing things differently.

Inside the space, we regularly explore things like:

• Visibility and confidence
• Business growth and strategy
• Communication
• Personal brand development
• Momentum and accountability
• Sustainable ambition
• Networking and collaboration
• Mindset and self-belief
• Navigating change and uncertainty
• Balancing growth alongside family and real life
• Marketing and growth

The support is intentionally long-term and relationship-led.

The minimum stay is 12 months.

It takes at least that amount of time to really grow something sustainable.

How you move through the space depends on your own life, capacity and demands.

Some people have lots of time and no children.
Others have three children and two jobs.

You can only do what works for you, not what works for somebody else.

At the end of the year, some people leave having changed their work environment or decided to retrain.

Others stay for a second or even third year because they are building more slowly.

Others move into the Alumni group, where they can continue to join the community calls and live masterclasses if they wish.

The biggest transformations tend to happen slowly, through conversations, community, encouragement and being surrounded by other thoughtful people navigating similar questions around work, ambition and life.

Come for the strategy.
Stay for the community.

What to expect

No pressure.

No need to perform.

No need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Just thoughtful, personalised guidance to help you work out what support, if any, feels most aligned from here.

If that sounds helpful, complete the form below.

That’s the best place to start.

PS. This form isn’t a commitment to work together. It simply helps me understand your situation and see whether I can genuinely support you, and if so, how.
