The Magic Wand Session
Bring the real thing.
The half-formed one. The awkward one. The one that keeps tapping on the glass.
I will bring the wand.
This is 90 concentrated minutes with me around one thing that matters. A business problem. A decision. An opportunity. A transition. A proposition that is not landing. Something you can feel but cannot quite name.
My job is not to give you a generic framework. It is to help us find the thing underneath the thing, and the move that becomes obvious once we can see it.
No deck. No programme. No theatre.
One real knot. Ninety concentrated minutes. £1,000. It is real work, complete in itself. If that is enough, it is enough.
Session or conversation?
The Magic Wand Session is paid, concentrated work on one particular issue. You can book it directly, with no introduction needed.
An exploratory conversation is different: a chance to meet, and to explore whether and how we might work together. Neither is a prerequisite for the other.
What people often bring
- "Something feels off and I cannot say what."
- "We are growing and losing the thing that made us."
- "There is a decision the board keeps almost making."
- "I am tired of being the only honest voice in the room."
A useful question, on the way in
What is the cost of everyone being polite?
A few honest questions
- What actually happens in the ninety minutes?
- We explore what is going on, question the assumptions and look for a useful next step.
- What kind of thing should I bring?
- Bring the half-formed one. The awkward decision. The transition you cannot announce yet. The board conversation that keeps almost happening. The proposition that is not landing. If you can feel it but cannot quite name it, it is probably the right thing.
- What if I am not sure what the real problem is?
- You do not need a finished brief. We can explore what needs attention together.
- What happens afterwards?
- The aim is clearer thinking and a useful next move. We agree any follow-through together.
Working together over time
Some people want someone thoughtful nearby over a longer stretch. I want a real feel for you, your life, your business and your wider circumstances, so I can be genuinely useful as things change.
A weekly conversation, often over coffee, is the usual rhythm, with about an hour a week as a reference point and deeper involvement agreed where it helps. Travel and availability mean give and take on both sides. We agree rhythm and scope together and review them as we go; substantial additional projects are agreed separately.
As a guide, a personally agreed arrangement is around £2,000 a month, cancel any time.
