Clear paths for different needs. Whether you're stress-testing a strategic decision or seeking individual support outside your organisational role, here's how we work.
1. You bring a decision — a specific choice you're facing, a strategy under development, or a situation where clarity matters.
2. We stress-test assumptions — through structured questioning, we surface what you're depending on without making explicit. No advice. No recommendations. Just rigorous challenge.
3. You leave with clarity — a written summary of assumptions identified, questions raised, and where the risks sit.
Most engagements begin with a single session. From there, we scope what's needed — if anything. No ongoing commitment required unless you want one.
Strategic decision support before major commitments.
We work with leadership teams, boards, and senior executives on decisions where alignment matters and assumptions carry cost. Cross-border expansion. M&A. Restructuring. AI adoption. Leadership transitions.
How it starts: A 30-minute scoping call to understand the decision context. We then propose a format — half-day session, embedded sprint, or ongoing advisory — based on what the situation requires.
Typical formats:
We've supported decisions at board level in healthcare, infrastructure, technology, and international development. Confidentiality is standard.
Independent decision support for senior professionals carrying high-stakes choices.
This is for founders, newly appointed executives, newly promoted leaders, or anyone leading a significant initiative — who need a thinking partner outside their organisation. Someone with no internal politics, no career stake in the outcome, and no interest in telling you what you want to hear.
Common situations:
How it starts: A single 90-minute session. You bring the decision. We stress-test the assumptions underneath it. You leave with a written summary of what we surfaced.
From there, some clients book follow-up sessions. Others take what they've learned and move forward. No commitment beyond the first session.
Not every important decision sits inside your professional role. Some of the choices that matter most are personal — about how you're living, how you're working, and whether the two are sustainable.
This track is for individuals seeking support that's not directly tied to their company or leadership position. It's confidential, separate from any organisational engagement, and focused on you.
For senior professionals whose capacity is stretched, whose boundaries have eroded, or who recognise that "I'll make it work" has become unsustainable.
This isn't therapy. It isn't life coaching. It's structured support to examine how you're operating, surface the trade-offs you've been absorbing, and make deliberate choices about what changes.
Common situations:
How it starts: A 90-minute session to map where you are — your commitments, your capacity, your invisible trade-offs. We use structured tools (including Honest Hours) to surface what's real versus what's aspirational.
From there, we design what's needed: ongoing sessions, accountability check-ins, or a short intensive to reset priorities.
For individuals facing career decisions outside the context of a current employer — considering a move, questioning a path, or navigating a transition.
This is decision-focused work. Not "find your passion" coaching. We stress-test the assumptions underneath your career thinking — about what you want, what you're trading off, and what you might be avoiding.
How it starts: A 90-minute session focused on one career question or decision. Written summary provided.
Not ready for a conversation? Start with one of our decision-making tools.
Strategic Hypothesis Audit — surface the assumptions underneath a decision you're carrying. Five questions, ninety seconds. If it reveals something worth examining further, book a session to go deeper.
Honest Hours — a capacity reality-check. If "I'll make it work" is doing the heavy lifting in your life, this surfaces where the trade-offs actually sit.
These tools reflect how we work. Some people use them independently. Others use them as a starting point before a session.
Individual sessions: Fixed fee, agreed in advance. No surprises.
Organisational engagements: Scoped and quoted based on format and complexity. We provide a clear proposal before any commitment.
Most clients start with a single session to test the fit. There's no obligation to continue beyond that.
If budget is a constraint, raise it. We'd rather have an honest conversation than lose good work to an unspoken assumption.
If you're considering this for your leadership team and need something to share internally, we can provide a one-page overview or join a short internal call to answer questions.
We understand procurement. We're comfortable with NDAs. Confidentiality is standard.
What if I'm not sure which track is right?
Start with a conversation. Email us at contact@coachingachievement.com with a brief description of your situation. We'll point you to the right starting point.
What if I've used the tools and want to discuss what came up?
That's exactly what they're for. Book a session and bring what you found.
What if I need confidentiality beyond standard terms?
We're comfortable with custom NDAs for sensitive situations. Raise it early.
What if I just want to talk before committing to anything?
A 15-minute call to check fit is always free. No pitch. No pressure.
