90 minutes for ad-hoc mentoring, or 60 minutes a month with a quarterly or annual package. We start by reviewing what you committed to last time and what actually happened. Then we focus on whatever is most pressing: a decision, a problem, something you’ve been avoiding. Every session ends with a clear action that you own.
Work with Chris on strategy, pricing, positioning, business models, and commercial decisions. Work with Jess on team performance, culture, operations, and reducing the business’s reliance on you. Some problems benefit from both.
Choose a single ad-hoc session, a minimum of 3 months paid upfront for quarterly mentoring, or a minimum of 12 months paid upfront for annual mentoring.
You have direct access for the moments that can’t wait. We respond once daily, not immediately. It’s there for genuine decision points, not for chat.
Mentoring is a good fit when the decisions still sit with you and regular challenge would help you make them faster, with more confidence, and less drift.
