1-2-1 Coaching
Direct. Structured. Accountable.
Face-to-face in Staffordshire and Derbyshire, or virtual by arrangement. Commercial challenge, clearer thinking, and real accountability.
Clare works with business owners who want honest input, not just reflection. If you want someone who understands business commercially, asks the hard questions, and holds you to what you say you are going to do, this is the right fit.
"Not life coaching. Not motivational support. Direct, commercially grounded coaching - focused on the decisions and priorities that actually move your business forward."
Running a business without someone in your corner?
If any of these feel familiar, you're not alone - and it's not a lack of capability.
You're making the big decisions alone - and second-guessing yourself more than you'd like
You know what needs to change, but the day-to-day keeps pulling you away from it
You want direct input and honest challenge - not just someone to listen
You've got the drive, but you need structure and someone holding you to account
You're ready to move faster - but you need a thinking partner who understands business commercially
The most expensive thing in your business might be the decisions you're not making.
You stop circling the same decisions and start making them - with confidence
Every quarter, you know exactly what you're working towards and why
The gap between what you intend to do and what you actually do starts closing
You have someone who understands your business, asks the hard questions, and doesn't let you off the hook
Your thinking gets cleaner - priorities sharpen, noise drops, action increases
Clarity is not a nice-to-have. It's the thing that makes everything else work.
What changes when you have direct coaching
How 1-2-1 Coaching works
Every engagement starts with understanding where you are and where you want to get to. From there, Clare works alongside you - not just when things are good, but when they're complicated too.
Clare will tell you what she thinks. If something isn't working, she'll say so. If a decision looks wrong from the outside, she'll push back. That directness is the point - most business owners don't have enough of it.
The focus is always on the numbers, the priorities, and the decisions that actually affect your business. Not theory, not frameworks for their own sake - practical input from someone who understands how businesses actually work.
Every session closes with what you're doing before you meet again. Clare follows up. That consistency is what turns conversations into progress - and progress into results.
There's no fixed curriculum. The sessions are built around what's actually happening in your business - your challenges, your decisions, your 90-day horizon. Not a generic coaching programme.

What's included
From £597 per month. Face-to-face around Stafford, Lichfield, and Stoke-on-Trent, or virtual by arrangement.
2 × 60-Minute Sessions Per Month
Two face-to-face or virtual sessions every month to suit your schedule. Structured, direct, and focused on your real priorities - not a catch-up call.
Quarterly Strategic Planning Session
Every quarter, one session becomes a 90-minute strategic planning session. Your quarterly goals, KPIs, and 90-day action plan - built together, reviewed together.
Consistent Accountability
Clare follows up between sessions. The accountability doesn't stop when you leave the room - that's what makes it work.
The format in detail
Every engagement follows the same structure. That structure is what turns coaching conversations into business progress.
Before you start, Clare has a conversation to understand where you are, what you're working with, and whether 1-2-1 Coaching is the right fit. No obligation - it's a two-way assessment.
Two face-to-face or virtual sessions per month. You bring your real priorities, Clare brings direct challenge and commercial input. Every session closes with a commitment - what you're doing before you meet again.
Once per quarter, one session becomes a 90-minute strategic planning session. Where are you against your goals? What are the priorities for the next 90 days? What needs to change?
Clare follows up between sessions. Progress is tracked. Commitments are reviewed. The engagement is designed around momentum - not just individual sessions.
Sessions take place face-to-face around Stafford, Lichfield, and Stoke-on-Trent, or virtual by arrangement. Face-to-face is the default and preferred format, but virtual is a genuine option where in-person is not practical.

Ready to apply?
I don't gate 1-2-1 Coaching to make it feel exclusive - I do it because fit matters. The right coaching relationship depends on the right timing, context, and commitment from both sides. Apply, and I'll be in touch to arrange a short discovery conversation. There's no obligation from that conversation.
From £597 per month - two face-to-face or virtual sessions per month, plus a quarterly 90-minute strategic planning session.
