You + work · Professional OS · £15,000

You’re good at your work. That doesn’t mean you’re free at work.

You can be experienced, capable and successful while still doing a ridiculous amount behind the scenes to keep yourself functioning the way your work requires.

Sound familiar?

The interesting question is what happens to you because work is involved.

Maybe visibility makes you want to disappear. Maybe selling makes you want to be sick. Maybe risk sends you into over-preparation. Maybe you can make the decision but spend three days either side of it worrying about whether it was the right one. Maybe you know what needs doing, but you still don’t do it.

  • Visibility.
  • Risk.
  • Feeling like a fake or an imposter.
  • Responsibility.
  • Being judged.
  • Selling.
  • Making decisions when there isn’t a correct answer.
  • Holding your ground when somebody disagrees with you.
  • Requiring someone else to do something when you know they won’t like it.
  • Doing something before you know whether it will work.

The scope

Professional OS puts you and your work on the table.

The job title doesn’t matter. Founder, executive, consultant, clinician, freelancer, creative, whatever. What matters is that work is part of the equation we’re working with.

Sometimes the business or strategy isn’t what needs fixing. It might be how you’re showing up inside it.

Are you free to do what your work requires from you? Or are you spending a chunk of your energy managing yourself while you do it?

How we work

Month one is mapping. Then we work.

I want to understand the work context as well as you: where the pressure actually is, what situations expose the problem, what you’re currently doing to compensate for it, and what we’d expect to be different if the work is useful.

Then we work for three months. Sessions are only part of it. You’ll have tools and materials from me, real work situations become part of what we’re learning from, and I’m working on your case between sessions rather than turning up cold once a week.

What this isn’t

It isn’t business coaching with some emotions sprinkled on top.

And I’m not going to pretend every commercial problem is secretly a mindset problem. If the strategy is wrong, the strategy may simply be wrong.

My job here is the human in the work.

Do other people need to be inside the fence?

Or is it bigger than work?
