Got ideas, questions or a business possibility that you can't quite untangle on your own? 

Co-Thinking Clarity is a strategic thinking space for anyone who needs clarity, perspective and momentum around an idea, project or next step.

One conversation.
Four weeks to think, test and explore.
A clearer way forward.
Or permission to take a different path.

Co-Thinking Clarity gives you four weeks to step out of your own head, make sense of the ideas and possibilities competing for your attention, and work out what your next useful step actually is.

We start with some initial questions, then a 60-minute 1:1 conversation where we look at where you are now, what you're considering, what might be getting in the way and what is actually worth exploring next.

From there, you’ll have four weeks to think, test and take action, with a personalised plan, carefully chosen resources and a check-in with me along the way.

I work mainly with doctors and healthcare professionals, so I understand the particular challenge of building something alongside an already very full life. But Co-Thinking Clarity is open to anyone with an idea, project or business possibility they want to think through properly.

Life-first, not hustle-first.

Practical, not overwhelming.

Enough structure to get you moving, without pretending you need to have the whole thing figured out.

 Ready for a change but not sure where to start? 

You’ve worked hard to build your career.

You might even still enjoy it.

But there’s an idea, possibility or question that keeps niggling away at you.

• Frustrated that you can’t help people in the way you want to
• Wanting to grow personally or professionally, but unsure what that could look like
• Unsure whether you really want to start a business or what the idea even is yet
• Worried about the time, tech, money or risk involved
• Wanting more flexibility and more control over how work fits around the rest of your life
• Stuck in “thinking about it” mode or the “maybe next year” mode and not actually moving forward

I get it.

Because I’ve been there.

And the first useful step is not having the whole thing figured out.

It’s getting clear enough to know what to do next.

What is Co-Thinking Clarity? 

A safe first step toward your next chapter

Sometimes you don’t need another course, another qualification or another 47 things adding to your to-do list.

You need some space to think.

Co-Thinking Clarity is for anyone with ideas, questions or possibilities going round and round in their head who needs someone experienced to help untangle them.

You might be right at the beginning.

You might have several ideas and no idea which one to pursue.

You might already have something up and running but feel stuck on what comes next.

Or you might simply know that you want something to change.

We start with some initial conversations and then a proper 1:1 conversation.

We get everything out on the table.

What you want.
What you’ve already got.
What feels possible.
What’s getting in the way.
What might actually work in your real life.

And then we work out the next useful step.

You don’t need to leave with your entire future mapped out.

You just need enough clarity to move.

Sometimes clarity means deciding to go for it.

Sometimes it means changing the idea.

Sometimes it means putting something down altogether.

All of those are useful outcomes.

Because the aim isn’t to persuade you to start a business.

It’s to help you stop circling the question and make a clearer decision about what comes next.

You do not need to wait until you feel completely ready.

You probably never will.

You just need enough clarity to take the next step.

HOW IT WORKS 

What’s inside Co-Thinking Clarity

One conversation.

Four weeks to think, test and explore.

Before we meet, I’ll send you some questions to get you thinking about where you are, what you’re considering and what you actually want from our time together.

Then we have a 60-minute 1:1 Co-Thinking session on Zoom.

This isn’t me sitting there firing generic business advice at you.

We’ll pull apart whatever you’ve brought with you.

Ideas.

Questions.

Half-formed plans.

Things you’ve been avoiding.

Things you’ve convinced yourself you should be doing.

And probably a few things you hadn’t realised were part of the problem at all.

From that conversation, I’ll pull together my reflections and help you identify what is actually worth focusing on now.

Then you have the rest of the month to think, test, explore and DO.

Not everything.

Just the useful things.

We’ll check in again after three weeks and look at what you’ve tried, what you’ve learnt, what’s changed and what your next step is.

You’ll also have access to the first three Start Up Support Surgery modules and some select Masterclasses.

1. Time, Place, People & Money
How does this actually fit into your life? Your time, energy, family, finances and the people around you matter. A lot.

2. Your Success Snapshot
What are you actually trying to create here? Not somebody else’s version of success. Yours.

3. Ideas Builder
Your skills, experience, interests and ideas and where there might be something worth testing in the real world.

You do not need to disappear down a content rabbit hole and complete everything.

Use what is useful.

Ignore what isn’t.

The resources are there to support the thinking.

They’re not homework.

Why work with me? 

Hi, I’m Dr Jo Watkins, a GP, founder, business mentor, podcaster and mum of four.

I’ve built several businesses, worked with hundreds of medics and healthcare professionals, and spent years helping people take ideas out of their heads and turn them into something real.

I still work in medicine, so I understand what it’s like to build something alongside an already full life.

And I understand the medical mindset.

We’re very good at learning.

We’re very good at researching.

We’re very good at collecting qualifications.

We’re often rather less comfortable putting something imperfect into the world and seeing what happens.

Business asks us to do things medicine rarely does.

Talk about what we’re good at.

Market ourselves.

Charge money.

Test things before we know they’ll work.

Change direction without somebody handing us the curriculum.

That’s a big part of what I help people with.

I work mainly with doctors and healthcare professionals, but Co-Thinking Clarity is open to anyone with an idea, project or business possibility they want to think through properly.

You’ll get:

• Strategic thinking
  Someone to help you cut through the noise, spot what matters and work out what your next useful step actually is.
• Real-world business experience
  Not just theory. Real businesses, real launches, real mistakes and plenty of figuring it out as you go.
• Medic-to-medic understanding, where that’s relevant
  You don’t have to explain the culture, pressure or peculiarities of healthcare before we can get started.
• Proven frameworks and practical tools
  Including the CHAOS Compass and other simple ways of helping you make sense of where you are and what to focus on next.

• A Life-First approach
  Because success isn’t just the business you build. It’s actually all about the life you intentionally build so that you get to live alongside it. 

Here is what clients are saying... 

"Working with Jo helped me develop a small idea and a concept into a structured plan, website, clinic and actual business that I have created from scratch. When I started with Jo, I felt completely by myself because I wasn't unaware that there was a community of people who had similar mindset to me in regards to working as a GP but wanted to expand into different areas and subspecialty interest."
Dr. Aisling Farrell, GP, Lifestyle Medic for female athletes.

"I was looking for some clarity on what I wanted my life to look like with my usual NHS work and potentially other projects. Jo was very helpful in aiding some reflection and action points which, along with the modules, nudged me towrads a more considered and intentional work patttern."

Dr Ivan Anderson, GP and Lifestyle Medic

"The modules are gold dust, so much content allowing you to start at the right place for you. What Jo is offering has exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge, kindness, availability and experience are invaluable.
I had no idea just how much I didn’t know but the insight, understanding and progress I’ve made in the last few months has been perfect and at a pace that has worked for me and all my other commitments."
Dr. Jo Hartley, Career and Life Coach and previous ED Consultant

I sought out Jo for help in business planning. Having started my business 8 months ago, I had reached the point where the initial nerves and doubts had died down and I needed to focus on growth. Jo made the session as useful as possible, ask for and digesting lots of information in advance. The session itself was brilliant and the follow up had been just a good! I have much more clarity on my overall direction, as well as precise next steps. Jo has an excellent mix of practical wisdom, whilst also giving room to working things out for yourself. Highly recommend!
Dr Luke Mitchell, Former Doctor, Financial Planner and business owner. 

'I think you have blown my mind Jo, this is massive. I nearly dropped out and realise how much I have learnt and so glad I have stayed. The content is rich and spot on. The delivery is awesome. You are awesome. Not a dry boring moment, ever'
Portia Gibson Founder of 'Post Op Nurse'

Co-Thinking Clarity gives you a safe, structured space to think through your idea, project or next move properly — with someone who can help you cut through the noise and work out what actually matters now.

You might decide to build something.

You might decide to test an idea first.

You might change direction completely.
