A closer look at how the sessions are structured, what each topic covers, and what participation in the programme looks like from the inside.
Each 90-minute session follows a consistent rhythm. Knowing the structure in advance reduces uncertainty and allows participants to arrive focused rather than tentative.
Each participant briefly says where they are today, not a report, just a quick check-in that brings everyone into the room. Keeps the group from starting cold.
The facilitator introduces the session topic with a short framing. Not a lecture. A set of questions and reference points that orient the group toward what they will be exploring together.
The core of the session. Participants bring their own experience of the topic. The conversation is structured but not scripted. The facilitator keeps it moving and ensures everyone has space to contribute.
Each participant names one thing they are taking from the session. Not a commitment or an action plan. A single idea, question, or shift that feels worth holding onto until the next time.
Brief close. A note on what the next session will cover, so participants can be thinking about it in the two weeks between sessions if they choose to.
How do you arrive at a price that reflects the value of your work without immediately discounting it in your own mind? This topic works through the emotional logic of pricing, the fear of client reaction, and the practical question of how to hold a rate in a conversation.
When every task belongs to you, time management stops being about scheduling and starts being about understanding your own working patterns. Why do certain things get done and others do not? What does avoidance tell you?
Not every difficult client is the same. Some are demanding, some are vague, some do not pay on time, some question everything you do. This topic looks at how to categorise what you are dealing with and develop a clear approach for each type of situation.
The emotional experience of early-stage entrepreneurship is real and often underacknowledged. Doubt, isolation, the sense that everyone else is more certain. This topic creates space to name what the experience has actually been like, without resolving it artificially.
Sessions are held online via video. You need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you can speak freely for 90 minutes. No specialist software is required.
Session dates are agreed with the group at the start of the programme. They happen every two weeks. The specific day and time is set to work for all six participants. If you cannot attend a session, this is acknowledged, but consistent presence is part of what makes the group work.
What is shared in the group stays in the group. All participants agree to this at the start of the programme, and the agreement is taken seriously throughout. The quality of the conversation depends on this trust being maintained.
