The CEO Evolution has been designed to provide a high touch, truly holistic coaching experience, where you are supported as a whole person.

I don’t put a rigid limit on the number of sessions as every client is treated as an individual with a unique set of circumstances, past histories and future goals. Therefore, together we plan out the pace of sessions that fit your unique needs, taking into consideration time for implementation between sessions, and diary availability. 

Yes absolutely. We understand that women running businesses are not immune to life’s challenges yet finding the right support from someone who can help you through these times, while also being understanding and supportive of your position as an entrepreneur and leader can be tricky.  The CEO Evolution aims to support you to improve your mental health and wellbeing as a whole person – sometimes the biggest pressures may come from our personal lives, and this is ok.

You are not expected to be superwoman in all situations.

In addition, the added benefit of working with a qualified psychologist means you know Dr. Frances has the skillset and expertise to work with whatever it is that’s weighing you down and remain alongside you in a confidential space where masks can finally drop and you can let it all out and find a way forwards together.

The CEO Evolution can support women with a wide range of challenges and the best way to know if this is right for you is to complete your application and then discuss with me on a confidential call.

For those who find examples helpful …this is a great option if:

• You’ve been ploughing on for a long time, knowingly neglecting yourself yet unsure how to make any impactful changes. You secretly worry you are on the path to burnout.
• You have experienced burnout and are getting ready / recently come back to your business and want to ensure you don’t find yourself in a similar situation in the future. You need someone who understands the demands and needs of a business alongside how to protect and support your wellbeing.
• You place high priority on your mental health and wellbeing and want to be pro-active and develop a thorough wellbeing strategy to put things in place to avoid hustle and burnout altogether and build on strengths, alignment and fulfilment.
• You are at a crossroads in your business and decisions are weighing heavily on you. You need space to ‘get your head above the parapet’ and figure out the situation that you’re in and the best way forward towards outcomes that will bring you success and fulfilment

Yes you certainly can and in fact this is a requirement for all potential clients. I only take on a very small number of clients for the CEO Evolution programme each year and an invitation to take up a place will only be offered to clients who have completed their application form and I have spoken to in person.

I only work with clients who I 100%  believe we can help and who demonstrate the attributes needed for of a positive working relationship.

If you would like sessions spread across 12 months then you will have the option near the end of your 6 month programme to continue for a further 6 months. There is flexibility in the frequency of sessions to enable you to have a pace that meets your needs.

I only work with a couple of CEO Evolution clients at any one time and so each programme reflects a guarantee of my availability for you across this time period. My time is blocked this way to ensure I give 100% focus and commitment to each client

You will have my full support across our time working together and I understand from experience that helping people with transformative changes involves helping people take action for themselves in between sessions.

The online portal you will use does have the function for you to send me DMs, so we can keep in touch in between sessions where needed. However, I do not offer 24 hour access to immediate support as this can often inadvertently lead people to seek out ‘emergency advice’ in situations they need to begin to work through themselves. I work to empower you to develop the psychological skills to use your own internal resources and put these into action ‘live’ in situations as they naturally occur. Reflecting, reviewing and problem solving is saved for our planned sessions together.

I am UK based so work in BST so the most flexibility in session times will be afforded to people in UK / European time zones.

However, for awesome ladies in the States / Canada / Aus we can also make times work…

As an example, a 2pm session for me would be 9am start for New York / Toronto

4pm session UK time would be 8am in LA.

9am UK time would be 6pm in Melbourne

Your initial wellbeing audit is delivered online. This is soon followed by your retreat day which is in person and will take place either at a venue in Manchester City Centre or at a venue in East Cheshire/The Peak District -to allow for a mix of indoor and outdoor coaching throughout the day. All further coaching sessions are delivered via video calls online.

Yes absolutely. Before your contract ends you will be given the option to re-book another 6 months and this will guarantee your place as one of my 1:1 clients.

If you decide to take a gap after the end of our contracted time and have a few months off, your place will automatically be offered to the next client on the wait-list / client who is invited to enrol.

As I only work with a very small number of long term clients 1:1 I am unable to hold places.

We provide a thorough and extensive onboarding process to make sure all our clients are completely happy with our outlined plan and fully committed to the process with a realistic picture of hoped for outcomes in our time together at the outset.

We also provide all clients with a 30 day guarantee from the date of registration. Full terms and conditions are detailed in your coaching agreement which you are asked to fully review before accepting a place on the programme.
