Not sure anything can be done? 30 minutes could change everything.
This is your chance to describe a recurring experience you strongly dislike, in as much detail as you are willing to. I might ask clarifying questions, but you are under no obligation to respond to them.
After 20 minutes, I'll be quiet for a minute and invite you to do the same, so you have some privacy and space to get a clear sense within yourself as to whether you want to end the call there, ask to be referred out, or explore the option of working together to bring relief to your situation.
Curiosity does not obligate follow-through.
If you are curious, we'd take the 8-9 minutes we have left to look at what kind of results I think you'd get from working with me, and what part of them I can guarantee on the short term.
No hard sales.
No obligation to follow through on any ideas we generate.
Really.
Really, really.
Following this free half-hour, I encourage you to sleep on the yes/no decision as to whether or not I'm someone you'd seriously consider hiring. If it's a yes, you can book two follow-up appointments, also free of charge:
- The second free appointment is for sussing out what a satisfying trajectory would look like, making sure we have compatible avaialblility, and we're not making any assumptions.
- The last free appointment (which can follow on the heels of the other one, if you like), is an actual taste-test of working together.
These free calls are often a turning point, even for guys who never ended up hiring me. It's just so good to talk to someone who is unfazed by despair and has experiential understanding of (and pity-free compassion for) vast darkness.
I've seen hundreds of people unfurl from a proverbial (or literal) fetal position with the right support, and I'm ecstatic at the idea of being that support to you.
I'll email you a few questions before and after this first appointment, to help you feel better prepared, and make the process easier on you. Let's honor any hesitancy as motivation to co-design a path that feels tailored, safe, and doable.
