One session a week. One piece of work you keep, every week. It starts with a conversation that costs nothing, and by the end you have a direction you chose on purpose, the evidence that it is one someone will hire you for, and the materials to go and get it.
The shape
6
weeks
Three phases of two weeks each. The order does not change and the weeks are not skipped.
6
sessions
One a week, on video, in any timezone. Two to three hours of your own work in between.
6
things you keep
One each week. Each is yours, in a form you can use after we finish.
1
first conversation
Free, before any of it. It decides whether we go ahead.
Phase one
Map what got you here
Two weeks on your own record. Not the CV version. What you were hired to do, what you actually did, what was different because you were there, and what that adds up to.
Week one
The assets audit
The question
What do you bring that you have stopped seeing?
What happens
You work a guided audit before we meet. In the session we run the evidence test on it together, pressing each claimed asset for an instance, a witness and a result, and striking what does not hold.
What you keep
A one-page inventory: your assets, evidenced, in the form they take outside your current title.
Week two
The career-so-far timeline
The question
What actually drove your choices, and what does that say about the next one?
What happens
You lay the chapters on a line, with what you said at the time and what was really going on. We read it for pattern: what you move toward, what you move away from, what you have never once chosen.
What you keep
The honest account, one page in your own words, and the two or three things it says about the next move.
Phase two
Name the turn
Two weeks to get from "I am done with this" to a direction you can say aloud in one sentence to a stranger, and to test whether it is worth taking.
Week three
The direction finder
The question
Where could this go?
What happens
You generate candidates without judging them. Ten is a good number. In the session we cut ten to three, on one test: is this a real direction that exists in the market and that your inventory can support?
What you keep
Two or three directions, each in one sentence, each tied to the assets it rests on, each with the question that would settle whether it is real.
Week four
The worth-it filter
The question
Is this a move someone will hire you for, and is it worth making?
What happens
You write down what a next role must have, must not have, and what you would trade. We score the candidates against your criteria and against what the market actually asks for. One is chosen, or none clears and we go back a week with what we learned. Both are good outcomes.
What you keep
The chosen direction, the criteria it cleared, and the filter itself, which you can run on any role from now on.
Phase three
Land the role
Two weeks to turn a chosen direction into a story that holds, materials that carry it, and a search run like a project.
Week five
The positioning narrative and the materials kit
The question
How does the past connect to the turn, so the change reads as coherent and not erratic?
What happens
You draft the throughline. We work it until it holds under the obvious question: why would someone with your background do this? Then the materials, without stretching a single claim past its evidence.
What you keep
The throughline, in a form you can say aloud. A CV, a cover letter and a profile aligned to the direction, ready to send.
Week six
Conversation prep and the search plan
The question
Can you hold the story in a room, and what happens on Monday?
What happens
A rehearsal. You bring your answers to the five questions you least want to be asked; the coach asks the hard version of each. Then the plan: what you do each week for ninety days, who you talk to first, and how you will know it is working.
What you keep
The conversation kit, in your own words. The ninety-day search plan, with check-in dates the coach keeps.
Before week one
The first conversation
About forty minutes, on video, before any money changes hands. It is a diagnosis and not a pitch. You describe where you are; the coach asks the questions the Map phase would ask, in short form, and tells you honestly what six weeks would and would not do for you. Three outcomes are possible, and all three are said plainly at the end of the call.
Go
The engagement fits, and we set week one.
Not now
Something else has to settle first. The coach says what, and you are welcome back when it has.
Not this
What you need is not coaching, or not this coaching. You leave with a clear view of what it is instead.
Both sides
What we each commit to
The coach
Reads everything you send before the session it is for. Sessions are not spent catching up.
Tells you what is true about your position, including when it is not what you hoped to hear, and shows the evidence.
Does not inflate a claim in your materials past what the evidence supports, even when it would read better.
Keeps everything you share in confidence. Nothing about you is used publicly without your written permission.
You
Do the work between sessions. Two to three hours a week. The sessions cannot do it for you.
Bring the real version, not the interview version. The method only works on true material.
Say when something does not fit. The rhythm is proposed, not fixed.
Ready to turn the page?
A first conversation costs nothing. Isn't it time you take that next step?
