One-to-One Executive Session
FOCUSSESSION
One subject, pressure-tested. No agenda template. No broad-spectrum coaching. Forty-five minutes of directed work on the thing that's actually keeping you stuck.
Not every career problem fits neatly into a service page. Some are urgent โ a negotiation that changed shape overnight, an offer in your inbox that doesn't feel right but you can't articulate why. Some aren't finished โ the board presentation that needs stress-testing before Thursday.
And some are things you've never said out loud to anyone in your professional circle. The restructure announcement you haven't responded to yet because you're still calculating whether it's a threat or an opening.
One topic. Directed. Structured. Confidential.
HOW IT WORKS
30 Minutes Preparation
You brief the subject. Mark reviews context, identifies the relevant frameworks, and arrives with a working position โ not a blank notepad.
45 Minutes On The Call
One topic. No preamble. Directed and pressure-tested against how the other side of the table is likely to think.
30 Minutes Keynote Writing
Not a transcript. A distilled set of actions, positions, and specific language you can deploy immediately โ delivered within 24 hours.

WHAT PEOPLE BRING TO THESE
A counteroffer that needs a response by Friday. A second-round interview for a role two levels above their current title. The LinkedIn profile with 15,000 connections that never converts to conversations. A resignation conversation they've been rehearsing for six weeks. The instinct that something in their positioning is off โ but no one in their network who'll say it.
Some clients book this as their first interaction. Others have already completed an Executive Positioning Audit or Interview Training and want additional time on a specific dimension. If we've already worked together, no need to re-brief โ we pick up where precision is still needed.
WHO THIS
IS FOR
Not a general check-in. The Discovery Call handles that.
This is for professionals who already know what the problem is and want structured, senior-level input on how to handle it. The kind of input that doesn't exist inside your current organisation because everyone above you has a stake in the outcome.

You're buying time with someone who has spent 30,000 hours on the other side of the table in negotiations like the one you're preparing for. The cost of getting a single salary negotiation wrong typically runs into multiples of this figure.
A 2023 study published through Harvard Business Review found that professionals who received coaching targeted at a single specific challenge reported measurably higher confidence and decision quality than those in broad-spectrum development programmes. Specificity isn't a constraint on coaching. It's a performance variable.
