One-to-One Consultation with Wayne Phipps

A private 60-minute conversation drawing on my coaching and mentoring training and personal experience to help you work through a question, decision or idea.

Whether it's about work, changing direction, a business idea, YouTube or something else where my experience could be useful, this is an opportunity to talk it through together.

I'll ask questions, challenge assumptions where appropriate and share my perspective. The aim isn't to solve everything in an hour, but to make the conversation worthwhile and hopefully move something forward.

Not sure one conversation is enough?

If you're facing a bigger decision, several parts of your situation are connected, or you're trying to work out what the next 10 or 15 years could look like, Next Stage may be a better fit.

It's an eight-week programme designed to help you explore your options and work towards a considered direction over time.

Minimum Viable Income

Minimum Viable Income is a simple question: what is the smallest, honest amount of money that would allow you to live a life that feels workable and non‑anxious, for the season you’re in now?

Not a forever number. Not a social‑media number. Just a calm, present‑tense figure that covers your real costs and a bit of breathing room.

When you have this number, a few things often shift:

Work ideas that sounded exciting but fragile can suddenly feel realistic.
Projects that only make sense in a much wealthier future become easier to gently put down.
You can see the difference between "I can’t afford this" and "I’m choosing not to prioritise this."

If you’d like to look at your own Minimum Viable Income, the Clarity session is one place to do that slowly and without performance pressure.

Noise vs Clarity

A lot of productive, kind people live with a constant background hum of "I should be doing more." This is noise, not guidance.

Clarity, in contrast, is usually quieter and less dramatic. It often sounds like: "This is enough for now." or "That would be nice, but it doesn’t need to happen this year."

One useful question is: if this thought became permanently true, would my life feel more spacious or more cramped?

In Clarity sessions we’re not trying to silence every anxious thought. We’re just trying to tell the difference between useful signals and old, automated noise so your choices can be a little kinder and more deliberate.

Time Drift

Time Drift is what happens when your calendar slowly fills with things you never consciously chose, until your days no longer look like the life you say you want.

No single meeting, obligation, or favour is the problem. It’s the slow tilt. A few degrees off, sustained over months and years.

A gentle way to notice drift is to compare two calendars:

Your current, real week.
A realistically good week, given your actual responsibilities, that would already feel like a relief.

In Clarity sessions we often map these two weeks side by side and look for the smallest, kindest adjustments that would start to close the gap without pretending your constraints don’t exist.

Who this is for

This is for anyone who has a particular question, decision or idea they'd value discussing with me. You don't have to be facing a major life change.

What you might bring to the session

You might use our hour together to discuss:

A decision about your job, career, working hours or future plans.
A business idea or project you're considering starting or developing.
YouTube, content creation or building something online.
A situation where you're unsure of your options and would value another perspective.
Something you've already decided to do but would like to talk through before taking the next step.

These are just examples. The conversation is shaped around what you'd like to discuss and where I believe my experience could be useful.

Why a conversation can help

Sometimes you don't need a programme or a major change of direction. You just want to talk something through with someone outside your usual circle.

It might be a decision you're weighing up, an idea you're considering, or something you've already started and would value another perspective on.

An hour together gives us the opportunity to explore it properly, ask questions, challenge assumptions and draw on my experience where it's relevant.

What you should leave with

The aim is to make our hour together genuinely useful, whatever you've come to discuss.

Depending on the conversation, you might leave with:

A fresh perspective on a question, decision or idea.
Practical suggestions or possibilities you hadn't considered.
A clearer understanding of your options or what might be worth doing next.

Afterwards, I'll send you a short written summary of the main points we've discussed.

What happens during your consultation

We'll start with what you'd like to discuss and what would make the hour useful to you.

From there, we can explore your question, idea or situation in whatever detail makes sense. I'll listen, ask questions, offer an independent perspective and share relevant experience or suggestions where I think they may help.

There's no fixed agenda or requirement to reach a particular decision. It's your hour, and we'll focus on what matters to you.

What this is not

This is not therapy, counselling, financial advice, legal advice, medical advice or someone telling you what decision to make.

This is a private, one-to-one conversation where we can discuss a question, idea or situation, and I can share my perspective and relevant experience. You remain responsible for any decisions or actions you take.

Cost

Next Stage Consultations are one-to-one and last 60 minutes.

The cost is £197. This includes your private 60-minute consultation, a short questionnaire beforehand, and a brief written summary of our conversation afterwards.
