We start with a short call about what you do and what eats your time. In the first session we set the tools up properly and work through two or three of your own tasks together. You then use them for a fortnight, and we meet again to fix what did not work and go further.
What we usually cover
Getting good answers on the first attempt. Email, documents and spreadsheets. Building a few saved instructions for jobs you repeat. Deciding what should stay private. And, if it is useful, a calm look at whether an assistant on your website or phone line would be worth having.
Who it suits
Owners who feel they are behind and would rather not say so in front of staff. Managers who have been handed "sort out AI" on top of the day job. People who have tried ChatGPT, got bland answers and given up. All three are common, and all three are quick to put right.
Coaching questions.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people get what they need from two or three, a couple of weeks apart so there is time to practise in between. One is fine if you have a single thing to crack.
Can we work on my real documents?
Yes, and that is the point. We agree first what is sensible to use and what should stay private, then work on your actual emails, spreadsheets and plans.
Can a colleague join?
Yes. Two people who work together often get more from it than one. More than two and a workshop is the better format.
Online or in person?
Either. In person works well around Nottingham and Derby. A video call with screen sharing works just as well for most of it.
Want to get comfortable with it?
Book a short call. Tell me what you do and what you have tried so far, and we will work out whether coaching is the right fit.
