How it works

Any consultant or coach who tells you that ‘every client is different’, or ‘we tailor solutions to your requirements’ ignores the fact that there are common truths that aren’t rocket science.

There are normally blockers to an individual or management team’s performance or ability to achieve a goal.

• Overcoming these blockers alone is hard, even assuming you are able to a) recognise that you have the blocker and b) establish possible routes to overcome them.
• Working with someone else to explore the blockers, remove them and replace them with tools to perform or achieve better is a lot easier.
• Achieving the consistent long-term change which stops the blocker coming back isn’t easy and requires a significant amount of personal effort.

The final bullet above is the unfortunate truth. Scarlet however uses a system to provide you with the ability to change yourself and implement the long-term change with greater ease.

The Normal Process:

Meeting and Getting to Know You Session:

• Book a place on an event, training module or arrange a getting to know you session.
• A getting to know you session is normally a short meeting over coffee where we establish if and how we could work together: this is obviously free.

The Two Sessions explained:

• Planning Session: We spend about 90 minutes exploring what you want out of your time with Scarlet, what you want out of life, what’s blocking you and specific areas for development.
• A headline plan of action is agreed.
• This draft plan is costed and objectives to be delivered detailed. This is a good document for sharing if you have a line manager, shareholders or a HR department signing off.

• Main Session: Typically, Scarlet looks to deliver to its mission of making people happier in their life by working through a simple change equation that is adapted from some organisational change work by David Gleicher:

• We use a number of techniques to create a vision of success with you that ensures that every action that you take from that point forward is about delivering to your vision.
• Your current dissatisfactions are extracted by classic brainstorming and then Scarlet facilitates you identifying the common root causes of your issues.
• Your next steps are the immediate physical actions you will take on leaving the coaching session that will start to address your dissatisfactions and lead you towards achieving your vision.

New/Repeat Sessions

Scarlet is unusual. After the Planning Session we aim to have only one Main Session. And that’s it. We try and do what we need to in the one session so that we have an agreed time and cost bound event that you can feel comfortable with, and start to track results against straight away. Clients choose to arrange new or repeat sessions only to explore certain areas in more depth or to concentrate on a different area of their life: home vs. work or a different business or venture.

Monthly Follow-up Checks

Having helped you identify and agree solutions to challenges, Scarlet is then your taskmaster. A Follow-up Check is included in Main Session costs and is pre-booked at the time to check on progress on your commitments. Scarlet’s change equation leads you to success, but all best intentions can drown in the day to day reality of running a successful business/ life without the right level of mindfulness and focus. You can secure Scarlet as your ongoing taskmaster with packages of Follow-up Checks to fix a monthly checkpoint to review your progress.

Ongoing mail/ phone support

Clients tend to use these facilities as a ‘help-line’ service to address issues that arise, or questions that they have as they achieve their vision. Can be used independently of any Follow-up Checks or New/ Repeat Sessions.
