THE CHALLENGE

You know something needs to change.

Perhaps you're successful at what you do but no longer want to work quite so hard.

Perhaps your income still depends too heavily on you being there to earn it.

You may have reached the end of a career or business that once excited you, or simply have the uncomfortable feeling that there is another chapter waiting for you and you haven't quite worked out what it is yet.

You don't particularly want to retire.

You certainly don't want to start at the bottom again.

And you have no intention of spending the next ten years doing something simply because it's what you've always done.

Welcome to reinvention.

STARTING AGAIN IS THE WRONG IDEA.

By the time you've spent 20, 30 or 40 years building a career, profession or business, you've accumulated far more than a CV.

You have knowledge, contacts, reputation, judgement, commercial understanding and skills you probably don't even recognise as valuable because they've become second nature to you.

That's your starting point.

Reinvention isn't about throwing away the person you've been and inventing somebody new. It's about looking intelligently at everything you've accumulated and asking:

What could I do with all of this now?

That's what we will work out together

WHAT WE'LL DO

Three conversations. One clear direction.

The Reinvention Sessions are three private 60-minute sessions with me, usually spread over four to six weeks.

Session One — The Review

We'll look at what you've built, learned and accumulated over the years, including the things you may be taking completely for granted.

We'll also look at what you no longer want to do, because knowing what you're finished with can be every bit as useful as knowing what you want next.

Session Two — The Possibilities

This is where we explore what your experience could become.

That might mean a new business, consultancy, portfolio career, a different way of using your expertise, creating income that isn't entirely dependent on your time, or a new direction we will uncover together in our session.

Session Three — The Plan

We take the strongest ideas and subject them to something rather important that tends to be missing from a lot of reinvention advice:

Commercial reality.

Who wants it? Who will pay for it? How much could it earn? How would you reach those people? And, does it give you the life you actually want?

Because there's very little point escaping a life you don't want and sleep walking into another that doesn't fit !

I get it because I’ve been there. I know what it takes to embrace radical change and create a life that is rich in experience and purpose.

I have helped countless clients just like you clarify what they want, redefine their future, and step confidently into a life and business they truly love.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

By the end of our work together, you will have:

  • A much clearer understanding of the experience, knowledge and assets you already possess

  • A realistic picture of the kind of life and work you want next

  • A shortlist of viable possibilities

  • Commercial feedback on the strongest ideas

  • A practical direction rather than another collection of vague possibilities

  • My input between sessions where useful

  • A concise personal Reinvention Plan after our final session

Who Is This For ?

This may be for you if...

You're in your 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s and know you still have plenty left to contribute.

You may be employed, self-employed, running a business, selling one, leaving one or simply wondering what you want the next ten or twenty years to look like.

You may already have several ideas.

You may have none at all.

You may simply know that what you're doing now is no longer quite enough.

You don't need to arrive with the answer.

Finding it is the point.

WHY WORK WITH ME ?

I've re-invented myself quite a few times. I started out as a knitwear designer, became an internationally published author of 32 books, moved into manufacturing, PR and entrepreneurship, and for more than 25 years I have worked as a business mentor helping hundreds of entrepreneurs turn their experience and expertise into something commercially viable.

I understand re-invention from both sides. I know exactly how it feels to look at everything you have done and wonder what you can do with it next. And I know how to look at somebody else's experience and spot the possibilities that they may not be able to see for themselves.

I am not interested in change for the sake of change I am interested in helping you work out what you want to do next, what you already have that can help you achieve that and if the idea will work in the real world.

I won't tell you to follow your passion regardless of whether anyone will pay you for it.

I won't ask you to discover your inner goddess.

And I'm unlikely to suggest you spend six months writing a business plan.

I will ask awkward questions, challenge assumptions, spot connections and then I'll tell you how to turn what you already know into something that gives you both stimulation and commercial opportunity.

In these sessions we will get Specific, not Vague. Clear decisions. Clear next steps.

Let me answer some questions you may have.

Do I need to know what I want to do before we start?

No. In many cases that's precisely why we're working together.

You may have several ideas, one half-formed idea or absolutely no idea beyond knowing that you want something to change.

Is this business coaching?

Not exactly.

There may well be a business at the end of it, but we start with your life, your experience and what you actually want next. Only then do we look at how that might translate into income.

Is this only for people approaching retirement?

Absolutely not.

This is for experienced people at any stage who feel they've reached a crossroads and want to make an intelligent decision about what comes next.

What if my idea turns out not to be commercially viable?

Then I've done my job.

I'd much rather tell you that during a consultancy session than have you discover it after spending £20,000 and eighteen months finding out for yourself.

What happens after the three sessions?

For some people, three sessions will be enough. You'll leave with clarity, direction and a plan you can implement yourself.

Others may decide they want continued help putting the new direction into practice. If that's appropriate, we can talk about it then.

There is no obligation to continue.

You are capable of more than you realize. Let’s unlock that potential together.

What are you going to do with everything you've learned so far?

You don't need another twenty years of experience before you're qualified to create something new.

You've already got the raw material.

The question is what you're going to do with it.

If you know you're ready for something different, let's work out what that difference should be.
