When something needs to change
Things are still moving, but it's starting to feel harder than it should. You've caught yourself waiting an extra beat before answering a question you'd have answered without thinking a year ago. The next move isn't as obvious as it once was.
This is where we focus. The work is direct and grounded in what’s actually happening for you.
We focus on what’s real:
- Getting clear on what’s driving the pressure or friction
- Challenging the assumptions getting in your way before you've even noticed them
- Tightening how you think and make decisions
- Making deliberate shifts that hold up when the pressure’s on
Things settle. You see more clearly. You start making decisions you’re fully behind again.
Nothing’s broken. But left alone, this doesn’t fix itself.
What this usually involves
The work is different for everyone, but often centres around:
- Untangling the specific decision in front of you right now
- Spotting the pattern across three decisions that each felt fine on their own but don't add up
- Building the ability to think clearly in the room when a conversation turns difficult, not just afterwards on the train home
- Working out what to stop doing, rather than just what to add
- Turning a way of performing that works for now into one that still holds up in three years
We don’t treat these as separate topics. We work on what’s driving them.
What working together looks like
This is six months of focused work on what is actually getting in the way. I am with you throughout.
We meet each month for a 90-minute video call. Early sessions tend to surface things you have not quite put into words before: what is actually driving a decision, or perhaps why a particular conversation keeps catching you off guard.
As the months go on, the work shifts towards testing what you have noticed under real pressure, in the moment, not just talking about it after the fact.
The shifts themselves are usually small: A clearer sense of what actually matters to you. Less second-guessing. A question from a session that resurfaces a few days later and won't quite leave you alone until something gives.
This won't always feel comfortable, and it shouldn't. Staying comfortable is usually what kept things exactly as they were before we started.
Between sessions, I am available to you. If something significant comes up, you always have somewhere to take it.
Six months may feel like a relatively short amount of time to give this. What shifts within it tends to keep moving long after we stop meeting.
“After ten months of working with Frenchie, I have experienced that coaching isn’t just a skill he offers, it’s an integral part of who he is. He brings a unique combination of life experience, professional insight, and grounded presence to every session. He had a remarkable ability to help me reconnect with my own strengths, especially in moments when I struggled to see them myself.”
