Four ways to
own your seat
Every programme is built on the same principle: practical tools from someone who's been exactly where you are. Choose the format that fits your needs.
The Foundation
Intensive one-to-one coaching designed for your first 90 days as a manager. We work through the real challenges you're facing — peer dynamics, difficult conversations, building authority — with practical tools you can use immediately.
Ideal for
New managers in their first 0–6 months who need focused, personal support.
What's Included
- 6x 60-minute private coaching sessions
- Personalised action plan after each session
- Email support between sessions
- The New Manager Survival Guide

The Accelerator
Learn alongside a small cohort of managers going through the same transition. Structured sessions combine teaching, peer discussion, and accountability to accelerate your growth as a leader.
Ideal for
Managers who thrive in collaborative environments and want peer support.

Ideal for
SMEs and organisations looking to develop multiple managers simultaneously.
What's Included
- Pre-workshop discovery call

- Interactive workshop delivery
- Hiring & interview skills training

Hiring Process Review
Bad hires cost UK businesses an average of £12,000 each. Most hiring processes are built on gut feel, recycled job specs, and unstructured interviews that tell you almost nothing about a candidate's ability to do the job.
Drawing on my background delivering government employment programmes with Reed in Partnership — where I managed end-to-end recruitment pipelines and hit 135% of placement targets — I'll audit your current hiring process and give you a clear, practical plan to fix it.
Ideal for
SMEs and growing teams who are hiring regularly but not getting the results they need — high turnover, poor cultural fit, or managers who struggle to interview effectively.
What's Included
- Full audit of your current hiring process
- Job specification and advert review
- Interview structure and question design
- Scoring framework and bias reduction
- Live interview observation and feedback
- Hiring manager coaching session
- Written report with actionable recommendations
- 30-day follow-up review call

Earned Seat is designed for managers in their first 12–24 months of leadership. Whether you’ve been promoted internally, moved into a new organisation, or you’re managing people who used to be your peers — if you’re navigating the transition from individual contributor to leader, this is for you.
The Foundation (1-to-1 coaching) runs for 3 months with 6 sessions. The Accelerator (group coaching) runs for 12 weeks. The Strategic Partner (team workshops) can be half-day or full-day, depending on your needs. The Hiring Process Review is a standalone engagement typically completed within 4–6 weeks.
Absolutely. Many clients have their coaching funded through their employer’s L&D budget, professional development allowance, or management training fund. I can provide a formal proposal and invoice to make this straightforward for your HR or finance team.
It’s a 30-minute, no-obligation conversation. We’ll talk about where you are in your management journey, what challenges you’re facing, and whether one of the programmes is the right fit. No sales pitch — just an honest chat.
That’s exactly what the discovery call is for. Once I understand your situation, I’ll recommend the programme that makes the most sense — or tell you honestly if Earned Seat isn’t the right fit for what you need.
If you cancel before the programme starts, you’ll receive a full refund minus any admin costs. Once sessions have begun, refunds are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Full details are in the Terms of Service.
100%. Everything discussed in coaching sessions is completely confidential. If your employer is funding the coaching, I’ll agree the boundaries of any progress reporting with you upfront — you’re always in control of what’s shared.
Yes. All coaching sessions are delivered online via video call, so location isn’t a barrier. I’ve worked with managers across the UK and can accommodate different time zones.
