Frequently Asked Questions

I keep a keen eye on the weather hourly and by the minute using various apps. Coats and umbrellas usually suffice, depending on location. Should it pour down during the session, we will take suitable cover. 

Please wear comfortable shoes that don't mind getting muddy as we may not stick to all the paths. Layers are advisable given the changeable weather, and a rucksack/shoulder bag can free up your arms for a more relaxed walking experience. We will pause for a drink during the session, and there may be some tabletop work. 

You don't need to bring anything. Travel light, shoulder bag or rucksack to keep your arms free and your mind open. No need for a notebook or reference materials. I'll have all that.

I welcome any contact between sessions should you experience a bump in the path. Communication is initially via email, text or WhatsApp/Signal, and I will respond within 24 hours either directly to the message to arrange a call or perhaps suggest we cover the topic at the next session. 

All conversations and notes that are held and taken are made with complete confidentiality between me, the coach and you, the Client. Any sharing outside the relationship would be with your permission. We have all the latest GDPR compliance in place; we store all notes digitally on an encrypted server and prefer using your personal rather than work email with One 2 One coaching programmes. Any third parties I may work with will have signed an appropriate NDA. 

When an organisation commissions coaching for a team member, we will have an open three-way 'contracting' conversation to ensure expectations and desired outcomes are aligned and agree on each party's involvement in the programme. My priority will always remain with the Client and their goals. 

We will create a consistent frequency of session dates designed to support the coaching programmes, and I recommend we maintain a regular sequencing of the coaching wherever possible. 

I work with individuals personally or through their organisations, managing partnerships and whole management teams. If you feel part of the programme would benefit from introducing a colleague or partner to one of the sessions, we can work this into the session design. We'd be looking to review the overall programme objectives and composition if their inclusion was more than one session. 

The coaching will be with me, but my support team will handle certain operational matters, which has signed an NDA for all client materials and correspondence. I may introduce third parties for specific outcomes and with prior notice and agreement. 

I appreciate the payment of invoices in full before the first session.

For all sessions and locations, I will provide details of a suitable place for you to find refreshments and a reflective pause if you arrive early for a session. 

A typical session lasts 90 minutes and would involve 1) an initial walk and talk to get everything out into the open and work through limitations and themes before 2) stopping for a beverage and tabletop work mapping the insights and deep diving into priority areas and then 3) returning to the park to walk through final insights, priorities and actions as we return to the start point to exit the park.
