Coaching & Mentoring

 

One-to-one support for people who work independently

For leaders, managers, small business owners and the self-employed

Working for yourself, or leading without a peer group around you, can be rewarding, but it can also be isolating. It's easy to get caught up in your own little bubble with no one to challenge your thinking, hold you to your commitments or tell you when you're on the right track.

It's a bit like having someone to report to, without having a boss.

Who it's for

  • Small business owners and entrepreneurs
  • Freelancers, consultants and the self-employed
  • Leaders and managers who want a confidential space to think and develop
  • Anyone who works largely independently and wants to stay focused, motivated and moving forward

How it works

Each session we meet one-to-one to:

  • Explore challenges and think them through together
  • Review: what happened, what worked and what didn't
  • Check progress against the actions you committed to last time
  • Give and receive honest, constructive feedback
  • Celebrate your successes, which are easy to overlook when you're busy
  • Agree clear goals and actions 

Then we put the next session in the diary, so you always have a date to work towards.

Why it works

  • Accountability: knowing you'll be reviewing your progress with someone makes it far more likely you'll follow through.
  • Fresh perspective: an objective view helps you spot blind spots, options and opportunities you might miss on your own.
  • Structure and momentum: a regular rhythm keeps you focused on what matters, not just what's urgent.
  • Support: you don't have to carry every decision alone.

 

Alan - Managing Consultant

I had the pleasure of working with Stewart, and I can genuinely say he's one of those people you don't forget. He always took the time to really listen, not just hear you, but actually listen. His analysis of situations was sharp, and he had a real talent for passing on the right messages clearly and at the right moment. Whenever I needed guidance, Stewart was there, no questions asked. His advice was always spot on,

have known Stew for a number of years now and finally we have had a chance to work together. I always remembered the excellent engagement, approach and outcomes of his training sessions and 121 coaching and that has not changed.

I am beginning to see the fruits of his hard work with me

Stew has been instrumental in my personal development and that of my business for over a decade. 

Always there as a sounding board and the voice of reason without being judgemental I am incredibly grateful for the support he has given me
