Based on past experience, two weekly sessions seems to be the minimum to see significant progress reasonably quickly. However, especially when working towards specific goals, 3-4 sessions per week will be transformative. Anything below once a week will make it difficult to build on past progress and will often result in the mentee not prioritising these efforts.

Post the consultation call, the primary interactions will be between me and the mentee. However, it is of course essential for there to be occasional check-ins: I will provide regular written updates, along with which there are also optional monthly calls to discuss progress, included in the package. Additionally, I will always be available for you to contact as and when needed.

If you fill in the enquiry form, I’ll have a better idea if your problem is something I can help with. Assuming it is, one-off sessions are available at a higher rate.

While I acknowledge that the Approach page may seem slightly vague, this is by design, considering how individual coaching must be—it should, however, give you an idea of the guiding principles that underpin all sessions. The testimonials will provide a picture of how implementation has looked in the past, and I am also able to explain in more detail as well as provide case studies during the consultation call.

It is actually those who are already doing well who can benefit most from coaching—given a strong foundation and willingness to improve, the possibilities are endless. There’s a reason why leaders in every field see the value in coaching, be it CEOs, athletes, or otherwise. Sometimes the right questions can help us address our blind spots. It isn't always a silver bullet—but if you’ve come this far, it’s worth at least a chat!

P45’s prices are actually below market rates. The reason coaching is pricey is because it is a rare skill, not guaranteed by credentials. Given the right fit, it also has the potential to fundamentally change the trajectory of someone’s life, having a broader impact on everyone around them—an almost priceless outcome. That said, pricing plans vary slightly depending on specific needs.

While it is true that most coaching services target working professionals, it actually makes even more sense to start coaching early. This age range (14-21) is a perfect balance between understanding enough about yourself and your future options for coaching to have an impact, but also being young enough to be quick to adapt and able to set yourself up for life.

Having done both, there is indeed a difference. Tutoring is subject and outcome specific. While it can be effective for a short term goal, it usually has limited long-term impact. For example, it is possible for a student to go from a 50% to an 80% in a maths test through intensive concept-based tutoring, but it will not guarantee future success. On the other hand, coaching takes a holistic approach: starting with defining a strong why, contextualising this with regard to the student’s purpose, and accordingly helping the student develop the skills needed not only to achieve their desired outcome, but also prove invaluable beyond that single test.

Weekly accountability forms provide data for quantitative metrics. General coaching also includes both long-term and short-term goal setting, progress on which will be regularly revisited and immediately apparent. Additionally, for students who discover a newfound purpose, there is eventually even a change in day-to-day behaviour.

It is good you know what you should do—though I would ask if you have formally defined why that is, beyond superficial reasons. If you have already done that, make sure you design a specific system—a daily routine—and have someone to keep you accountable. While you need discipline, don’t interpret it as suffering, and remember you’re doing hard things because you know they’ll fundamentally improve your life. If you haven’t already, reduce the noise and practice mindfulness meditation to regain control of your mind.

This of course depends highly on what your current lifestyle is and what you’d like it to be. Though the first step is always finding an orientation if you haven’t already. You can do this by reflecting on your past, taking personality tests, thinking about what you like/are good at and accordingly finding something to strive for. Beyond this, I’d recommend introducing a morning routine with at least 5 minutes of meditation: if you don’t know how to meditate, you can use an app or even just sit down in silence with your eyes closed—you’d be surprised the impact this small change can have.

Regardless of subject there is a basic formula for studying. Go through the content topic by topic, and make sure you understand it—read textbooks, watch videos, do topical problems. While you’re doing this, take notes of only the most relevant information (formulas, definitions, big ideas, etc.). When you’re confident with each individual topic, start doing past paper questions, followed by full, timed past papers. Mark and go over your mistakes, and take note of which topics you are clearly struggling with, as well as any recurring themes with silly mistakes you make, so you can revisit these topics and/or practice not to make such mistakes again.

Depends. If you’re applying to the US, it’s all about building an effective narrative. You want to have done compelling things that demonstrate your interests & future potential, but more importantly, the reflections & presentation of these things also needs to be compelling. If you’re applying to the UK and most other countries, they want to know the ways in which you’ve gone out of your way to demonstrate interest in your subject of choice and what you've learnt in the process, expressed more formally.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no set of activities that guarantee admission to university, save for perhaps sports scholarships in the US. You should not choose an activity based on what you think will look good to admissions committees, because then you’re less likely to be able to write a compelling narrative about it that contains genuine reflections. Instead, do something you’re genuinely interested in that can also benefit others, and go above and beyond in your pursuit of this interest. If you’re applying to the UK, choose a subject you like and are good at, and take on projects outside of school that demonstrate your interest, whether personal projects, internships, or courses/programmes.

As a business owner, I’ve never had to mass-apply for jobs. That said, I have provided impactful advice to my peers who have, because ultimately it is a matter of writing skill and life experience, both of which I can provide guidance for. With job applications, specificity matters more than a narrative— the more specific you can be in terms of the impact you’ve had in your past roles, the better. Additionally, if you can “show” rather than “tell” a skill, for example by expressing the foundational principles that guide your approach to a task rather than just stating it, this will always carry more weight. Make sure you don’t just repeat the job description/requirements and say you’re good at fulfilling them, but instead address them implicitly through reflections on your experience.

Consistency definitionally does not rely on motivation. Nobody is ever motivated 100% of the time. What separates the successful is their ability to work even when they’re not motivated. Yes, an initial “why” will provide an underlying base-level of motivation, but beyond this, building good habits and sticking with them regardless of your feelings or motivation level at the time, will allow you to get into a sense of flow and stay focused.

There is a comprehensive approach I take to this in sessions, but generally speaking you should start by thinking back to any habits, passions, or interests you’ve had in the past, and think about each in terms of how good you are at it, how much you enjoy it, and how useful it can be to others. You can then hone in on a few interests, and formulate a future trajectory based on one or an amalgamation of a few. Beyond this, realising how this trajectory ties into your fundamental wants/needs, as well as understanding where these come from, will help solidify it as a purpose rather than just a path.
