Hello and welcome back to another

episode of After The Hustle Podcast.

2

Okay, so this episode is very long

overdue, um, because it's just

3

one of those questions, right?

4

I'm really on this theme of answering

all the questions that you shouldn't have

5

to ask, you know, That's where we're at.

6

Um, and I think also with the introduction

of my solo sessions, which are 60 minute

7

one off, like all the magic happens on the

call, um, sessions, I thought it was even

8

more important for me to explain kind of

the differences between that and private

9

coaching and why you Consider private

coaching over that if that makes sense.

10

Um, either way, I'm happy if we get

to work together I'm over the moon

11

regardless rainbow sprinkles all of

that But there are a few key differences

12

beyond obviously the duration and the

length of time That come into play when

13

it comes to private coaching and it can

be difficult to decide The other caveat

14

that I would make really clear is With the

solo sessions, um, you know, I describe

15

them as the closest thing that you can

ever get to a free trial of my coaching.

16

So what actually happens when you book

a solo session, you also get a very

17

special offer, um, that allows you to

upgrade to private coaching and it will

18

take your initial investment off of

the total price of private coaching.

19

Um, and you'll still get your

full entitlement of sessions.

20

So essentially what you can do if

you are in that space where you're

21

like, eh, not sure, is book a

solo session, um, to try it out.

22

If that's good and you get

everything you need, amazing.

23

If you're like, actually, this

has shown me so many different

24

areas that I want to work on, you

can upgrade to private coaching.

25

And ultimately what this

special offer does is it just

26

makes your solo session free.

27

Um, so that is a caveat that I want to

give, um, and you get the details of

28

that when you book, um, the solo session,

so it's all there, you don't need to do

29

anything special about it, you literally

just need to book a consultation call

30

or let me know that you want to kind

of upgrade, um, even if you try and go

31

straight through to upgrade, we're going

to have that consultation call anyway,

32

because I'm a big believer of ensuring

that when you invest in private coaching,

33

you start off with the right skills,

34

we both know what we're working on.

35

We know the specific milestones

and the route to your goal.

36

So.

37

little heads up for those of you who are

like, cool, I'm going to do solo session

38

and I'm going to just become a three month

private coaching client the day after

39

we do have that little step in between.

40

Um, but we keep that step snappy anyway.

41

So the core differences that I would

say when it comes to deciding between

42

the solo session and the private

coaching session before I dive into

43

The key things with private coaching

is that if you know exactly what you

44

want, we can dive into solo, right?

45

So if you know you perhaps want to

review you want clarity around the

46

decision you want to uncover your

blocks around imposter syndrome or

47

building confidence authentically

you want to work on goals and why

48

you haven't been getting them, right?

49

There's something specific that you

want However, if there is an element

50

of figuring out and clarifying what you

want, like big picture, then private

51

coaching is better for you because we

will have the space to expand on that.

52

And to be honest with you, between the

consultation call and the 90 minute vision

53

setting, call, like the kickoff call that

we get, we do all of that clarifying.

54

So please don't think that we're going

to spend three months just mulling over

55

and reflecting and brainstorming, right?

56

We're, we're really about that

action, but we do definitely have

57

plenty of space for that, um,

figuring out a portion of things.

58

So that's the key differentiator that I

will say is the specificity of your goal.

59

If it's hella specific, You know

exactly what you need from me, you want

60

from me, you come in full of beans.

61

Solo session's good for you.

62

If it's some figuring out,

we need more space for that.

63

And then beyond that, there's four

things to kind of keep in mind when

64

it comes to private coaching and

understanding if it's right for you.

65

So the first thing with private

coaching is it is three months,

66

so it is for the journey.

67

That's how I describe

it, it's for the journey.

68

It is comprehensive support

and accountability for the

69

full three months, right?

70

And when I say accountability,

this isn't babysitting.

71

Um, this is having support in your

corner for when it gets tough, right?

72

A voice note before the interview and a

space to WhatsApp when something exciting

73

comes up is what I mean in terms of

accountability all led by you, right?

74

I am only sliding.

75

In your whatsapps, right?

76

If you have invited me to, if you want

me to check in on you before or after the

77

interview, if you want to have a quick

chat and things like that, it's all very

78

much led by you, but it's for the journey.

79

I'm there for the in between bits that

are outside of our coaching sessions.

80

The other thing is that private coaching

is perfect for a longer transformation.

81

So figuring out those next steps, taking

them, falling short a little bit, and

82

then getting back up will all happen,

and we'll have space and capacity for it.

83

And with private coaching,

I'm there for all of it.

84

So you can build your resilience

plan for when it happens

85

outside of our coaching, right?

86

There's a big thing, I think there's

a lot of coaches, like I, don't get me

87

wrong, I love it when people resign,

they decide to renew for a further three

88

years, Three months, but I'm really

big on, you know, If I give you a fish

89

you eat for one day if I teach you to

fish you eat forever That's the energy

90

that i'm with so actually through being

in that space of okay falling short of

91

stuff falling off track Getting unfocused

and then coming back on me being there

92

allows you to build that resilience

plan And also start to integrate right

93

integrate and apply and trial and error

and experiment with me there You as a

94

sort of, um, support system allows you

to then build in those, those tools and

95

those resources for when we're no longer

working together in that close proximity.

96

And ultimately, it's really easy for us

to think that everything's resolved once

97

you've decided what to do, but once you're

actually doing it, or not doing it, should

98

we say, Things start to change and you

start to learn new things about yourself.

99

And I'm going to make sure that

you're there, um, unpacking those

100

learnings at each place and that

mirror to reflect that back.

101

And ultimately that time period, right?

102

For that longer transformation

allows you to wobble with safety.

103

It allows you to wobble with safety.

104

The other thing is it's really ensuring

that there's a next time, right?

105

There is nothing worse than

hitting a breakthrough.

106

Okay.

107

At minute 59 of 60.

108

Right?

109

And having no space to get feedback,

further support, or recommendations,

110

or just anything else, right?

111

With the solo sessions, if Breakthrough

comes at minute 59 of 60, you

112

have to book another to unpack

what just came up for you, right?

113

Sounds harsh, But that's the

realities of the boundaries of

114

the 60 minute session, right?

115

Whereas with private coaching,

you simply drop me an email

116

or a message with it, right?

117

Or you signpost it for the next

session we have in the calendar because

118

we will have one in the calendar.

119

Now, I know some of you are

thinking, but Jazz can't I just

120

book several solo sessions?

121

Oh, a thousand percent.

122

Of course you can.

123

Of course you can.

124

Um, but if you book several

solo sessions, you've got to

125

wait until that solo session.

126

There is no messaging in between, right?

127

And of course you can do that

digestion by yourself, but there

128

is something very comforting at

knowing there is a next time.

129

Nothing is running away.

130

No goal is running away.

131

Like one of my favorite things to be able

to say on a session where I can see a

132

client is torn, right, in the direction

that we go in our time together is being

133

able to say, whichever one you don't

choose, we can pick up next session.

134

Whichever one we don't choose,

I can send you some resources.

135

Right.

136

That is one of my favorite things to say.

137

And then the last thing, right?

138

The last thing is, and I would

say that this is the least,

139

although I've made it juicy.

140

It's for the additional extras, right?

141

Private coaching should feel nourishing

and in a lot of ways, luxurious.

142

These are my VIPs.

143

Anything exciting that's happening.

144

I bring my clients in.

145

I create and curate experiences

for my private coaching clients.

146

So having access to things like the

client portal, support between sessions,

147

exclusive events, workshops, experiences

like the photo shoot that we have

148

coming up, that all included, right?

149

As much as they're

extras, they're bonuses.

150

You pay your one investment

and you get all the goodies.

151

And ultimately I have found.

152

You know that so many clients spend time

in the sessions really focus on what is

153

top of mind for them But they're able to

go and play in the portal and you know

154

use that time to start a side hustle

understand imposter syndrome all that

155

good fun stuff And ultimately in that way

you can move towards parallel ambitions

156

In a way that is a hundred percent

led by you through, you know, client

157

portal being one of the goodies, right?

158

Um solo sessions don't get in person

sessions they don't get to make

159

use of a really Gorgeous co working

space, you know on the days where

160

we have sessions things like that.

161

So It really is for that VIP

experience for that journey.

162

If you want coaching to feel like an

experience and not just a service,

163

um, that's another thing to consider

in terms of understanding if private

164

coaching is the right choice for you.

165

Um, but needless to say, right,

both choices can get you results.

166

It's just about really asking yourself

with What I want, with what's top of mind

167

for me, how specific can I be about this?

168

Because the best way for you to

squeeze the most out of me on a

169

solo session, come with your list.

170

Right?

171

I actually love it when people

come to me with stuff, and I

172

will tell you this by the way,

173

you won't be caught unawares, should I

say, if you have set the bar too high

174

for what we can achieve in 60 minutes.

175

As I will tell you before the session,

right, I will let you know, we can

176

either do A and B or we can do C and D.

177

We can't do A to D.

178

Yeah?

179

So, here's a podcast on D, here's

a blog on C, but either way, when

180

we get on that call, I'm gonna

need you to choose two letters.

181

Two of your bullet points

for us to go into, right?

182

And, and again, one thing I want

to encourage folks who, you know,

183

you're about to press the button

on the solo session, is give me

184

as much information as possible.

185

There is no such thing

as too much information.

186

I have had clients book a solo session

and run out of space in the booking

187

form and just send me an email.

188

That's fine.

189

That is absolutely fine.

190

In fact, I love that because it

shows that you are trying to squeeze

191

everything out of the session and

be super intentional with our time

192

together and to give me space.

193

So, you know, with every client

session I have, I always put in

194

a certain amount of prep and also

kind of reflection at the end.

195

So also don't feel that it's an

imposition to send me an email.

196

Don't expect me to have looked

at a ton of stuff in that email.

197

So that's one thing I will say.

198

Like unless of course we are working

on your CV per se in that session

199

and stuff like that, you know,

we're talking for a solo session.

200

My prep for that session

is about 20 minutes max.

201

So just think of that when you're

sending me over the stuff, cause we

202

may get on the corner and we need to

get upset that I didn't look at all

203

16 versions of your covering letter.

204

Like we're going to dive in and

just be super laser focused.

205

Um, And you know, in the same way

with private coaching, when my private

206

coaching clients book a session, they

have a space to discuss what they

207

want to focus on, you come ready, come

ready to squeeze everything out of me.

208

It's exciting when people are like, I have

so many things that I want to dive into.

209

I don't know where to start.

210

And again, as I said before, with private

coaching, favorite things for me to say

211

is whatever you don't choose, no pressure.

212

I can share a resource so we can

pick it up in the next session.

213

So, short and snappy one for today,

but again, a key, key, key question,

214

especially where you have some choices

to make, where you're at that space,

215

where you know, okay, I want to

work with Jaz in some shape or form.

216

What does that look like?

217

You know, should I go for this one?

218

Should I go for that one?

219

One thing that I will say at the

time of recording this, so we're in

220

December 2024, um, private coaching.

221

If you want to get in.

222

For private coaching, my first and

223

on the 12th of January, right?

224

So if you want that three month

experience, I want to make sure

225

that you've got enough time

to have all of those sessions.

226

So please go ahead.

227

Don't delay in booking

that consultation call.

228

Um, that being said, solo sessions

are available right the way

229

through to the 2nd of March.

230

So if now's not a good time.

231

Christmas is hard on the

pockets, on the coins.

232

Um, I'm not running away.

233

You just have to, um, you'll

have to work with me in a

234

slightly different format, right?

235

As I explained, the

solo sessions are there.

236

So please do, I don't want anybody to

feel any pressure either way with both

237

of them when I am back from mat leave.

238

We're jumping into that 2026 waitlist.

239

So please, please,

please sign up for that.

240

If it's a future thing, that's all good.

241

Because I want to make sure that

before even social media knows

242

I'm back, you get that email to

say, Hey, I have got you down.

243

Do you want to hop on a call?

244

Is this still a later thing?

245

Is this a now thing?

246

Because I will save a space for you today.

247

Okay?

248

So, short one for today.

249

But Hopefully a helpful one and as ever,

if you have more questions, reach out,

250

I'm a real somebody, drop me an email,

DM me with your further questions or

251

anything that I've mentioned today

that you want to know more about.

252

Of course, the easiest way for you to find

out more about private coaching is to hop

253

on that No Obligation Private Coaching.

254

Consultation call where I go through

what it will look like for you.

255

I'll even highlight some of the

key parts of the experience that

256

will be really, really potent and

impactful to your specific goal.

257

Um, I've been on sessions and

shown people the portal, right?

258

There's listen, you, you, you asked

me all the questions that you need in

259

order to make the best decision for you.

260

So, um, want to encourage you to take

that step if that's top of mind for you,

261

but also encourage you to chill out.

262

Relax and know that I'm gonna be back.

263

I'm not going anywhere.

264

I, I am almost seven years in the game

and not going anywhere anytime soon.

265

So I'll speak to you next time.
