Co-Pilot Coaching Programme

Helping frazzled female founders to restore their passion for their business and helping them hold their teams accountable

You’ve built your business up with your own blood, sweat and tears but your reserves of enthusiasm are all but depleted.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • It feels like you’re on a treadmill 24/7. Issues being pelted at you constantly. You know that a leader like you is meant to be proactive and have time to think and plan, but you’ve got to react otherwise it’ll all fall apart!
  • You have a team but often it’s quicker and easier for you to do some jobs yourself. Delegation is all well and good, but you don’t have the time to step back and do it properly.
  • It’s all work and no life. When you try and take time off, you have your phone on and your mind is always whirring about work. You don’t 100% trust the team to work independently without you.

In short, you’re constantly firefighting and your team still come to you with so many things. You don’t have the time to build your business. Your brand. Your team. Your cashflow.

But it wasn’t always like this, was it? You started with a clear vision of freedom. A business built by you and driven in exactly the way you wanted with no one else to answer to.

Can you even imagine feeling like that again?

What if your business ran like this:

  • Your team are self-sufficient and only coming to you with really big issues. You even have time to coach and mentor key team members.
  • You have days, not minutes, to spend on business development and exciting new projects
  • You feel like everything’s under control!
I can almost sense the skepticism coming at me through this screen! But it IS possible.
It happens all the time when I work with clients on my Co-Pilot coaching programme.

How Co-Pilot works:

Co-Pilot is a one-to-one coaching programme that puts you firmly in the Captain’s seat. So you have the time and headspace to step back and see the big picture again. Able to set the course for your business, to trust your flight crew to do great work and navigate your way to success.

Pre-Departure

Before we embark on Co-Pilot we have a call to find out what is and isn’t working for you, what you hope to get from Co-Pilot and how we work together as Captain and Co-Pilot.

If you decide Co-Pilot is the right programme to help you feel less frazzled and put you in the Captain’s seat of your business then the journey begins with our Flight Plan.

  1. Flight Plan – setting a clear vision and direction for the programme
  • We start with a 2-hour session to set the direction for your coaching programme.
  • We look at how you deal with stressors, pressures and challenges, and how you can do your best work, irrespective of the circumstances.

2. Take-off – working together as Captain and Co-Pilot

  • We focus on purposeful actions to put you firmly in the Captain’s seat.

Once we have completed our pre departure checks and we have our Flight Plan then we are ready for take-off.

How we take-off really depends on you and where you are at. I don’t like to be prescriptive on how often the sessions are. If you’re facing an imminent challenge then we may have some sessions in quick succession; if there’s something meaty you’re working on and you need time to get it right, then we might space out our sessions. I meet you where you are at. Together, we work out what’s best for you.

That said, I know it’s helpful to have a rough idea of the timings. Take-off is made up something like this:

  • Eight two-hour coaching sessions roughly every 6 weeks (disclaimer above)
  • Four one-hour check-in sessions roughly every 12 weeks to keep us on course
  • In between sessions there will be some homework too

I can hear the shouts of “I haven’t got time to go to the loo let alone find time for this”….trust me, this programme will help you make time.

How do I know? I recently asked a client if they were busy… their response: “Nope I’ve got time on my hands!” I knew then my work here is done.

3. Landing – helping you disembark from the programme

It’s really important to me that the work I do with my clients has a real and positive impact on them, their teams and their family.

Landing is a 90-minute session at the end of the programme to review and reflect, think about the sustainability and stickability of the work you have done and put some disembarkation plans in place.

Hi, I’m Jo…

… and I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve felt first-hand the way that the daily grind can suck the joy out of running your own business. And how the long list of to-dos on your employees’ lists seem to mysteriously migrate onto your own list until you’re utterly buried. It feels like you’re on your own with the weight of the world on your shoulders doesn’t it?

I set up a Consultancy business roughly 15 years ago. I had great ideas and a vision of how I wanted my business to be. After the initial excitement, I started to feel quite alone. I underestimated just how much the boring day-to-day would drain me. I felt out of control and struggled to find the right direction for me and my business. That’s when I decided to enlist the support of Coach, best decision ever. Someone to work with me to find the solutions I knew were lurking somewhere at the back of my mind. Having a Coach meant I found the time to stop, reflect and reset. It helped me to see different perspectives and meant I could take my head out of the weeds and see more clearly what it was I wanted and how I was going to get there.

That’s when I decided to qualify as a coach with the CIPD and the OCM and I’ve been coaching Founders ever since. I love what I do. Seeing people overcome challenges, step out of their comfort zones, be courageous and vulnerable is truly wondrous to be part of. I am privileged to be able to do the work I do, and I want to pay that forward and help others to get the same buzz from their work.

FAQs

Absolutely. I have worked with many male founders too and the programme has great results for you too.

On average it’s investing 4 minutes a day in you. Surely you’re worth 4 minutes a day? And that average of 4 mins a day will create more time than you ever imagined.

You will need to find the time to talk to me and be committed to the programme. Very soon you will see that slowing down will help you to speed up and feel less stressed. You will be doing more of the right work. And work that you will enjoy. And work that will free you up to do more of what you want to be doing, and less of the work of your team.

Well, the most important investment is your commitment to the programme. Then by investing £9,780 (plus VAT) in you, the programme will help you to be more energised, focussed and in control.
