Your starting point: Change Communications & PR
You've got a change to land — a restructure, a system rollout, a policy shift, an announcement — and the work is making sure the communication doesn't lag behind the decision. The most common failure point: the strategy is sound, but messages go out before people are ready and managers aren't equipped for the questions. The work is the change narrative, the leadership messages, and the manager cascade toolkits that make it land.
Most teams that pick a change rollout also pick "messages don't land the first time." Those two are usually the same problem framed from different angles — and the fix is the same.
A typical first month: the change narrative locked, the first leadership message drafted, and a manager cascade toolkit in your managers' hands.
Inside 30 days, the fit is a 2-week sprint — lock the narrative, draft the first cascade, get one message out the door.
At this pace, the fit is a 4–6 week engagement covering narrative + cascade + the first measurement cycle.
On a longer arc, the fit is building the change-comms capability in-house with us alongside — so you can run the next rollout yourself.

Your starting point: Writing & Documentation
Your content needs a senior English hand — either scattered documentation no one can find, or copy that's technically correct but not market-ready. Both are the same problem from different angles: structure ahead of words. The work is rebuilding documentation into something people can actually use, or producing English copy that ships without another revision cycle.
Scattered docs and not-quite-market-ready copy almost always show up together — even when you only picked one of them. Structure is the root; words follow.
A typical first month: information architecture for the doc system, the top three documents rebuilt, and a style guide your team can hold to.
Inside 30 days, the fit is a focused project on the most-needed deliverable — top page, top doc, or one campaign asset — done-for-you.
At this pace, the fit is rebuilding a documentation library or campaign-asset set as a single coherent project.
On a longer arc, the fit is a content-system build — governance + structure + AI-ready architecture, so future content stays in shape.
Recommended starting point: Writing & Documentation
Your starting point: Executive Communication & Business English
The gap is capability, not output — a team or a leader whose English holds them back in the rooms that matter: meetings, presentations, board updates, client pitches. The work is coaching built on real materials — the team's actual emails, decks, and recordings — so the improvement shows up where the cost currently does.
Team-English gaps and high-stakes-prep needs almost always co-occur. Fluency under pressure is the same skill that holds people back in regular meetings — just turned up.
A typical first month: a baseline on the team's current English (recordings + writing samples), one focused 1:1 or group session per week, all built on materials from your real work.
Inside 30 days, the fit is intensive prep for the specific moment — board, pitch, panel — with real-materials rehearsal.
At this pace, the fit is 8–12 weeks of executive-comms coaching at weekly cadence — covers the moment and builds sustained capability.
On a longer arc, the fit is a monthly retainer for ongoing capability-building across the leadership team.

Your starting point: Two things at once
Picking more than one usually means the work is connected — a change rollout that needs the documentation behind it, copy that needs the capability to maintain it after we leave, or a team whose English gap shows up in both the daily work and the high-stakes moments. The discovery call exists to untangle exactly this: what leads, what follows, and what one engagement covers.
When more than one fits, it's almost never random — usually the same root problem is showing up in two surfaces, and the engagement that fixes the root fixes both.
A typical first month: a 30-minute scoping call (no charge), then a 1–2 week mapping engagement to decide what leads and what follows.
Inside 30 days, the fit is a focused 2-week engagement on the loudest piece, with the rest queued for the next phase.
At this pace, the fit is a 4–6 week sequenced engagement that lands the lead piece and sets up the second one.
On a longer arc, the fit is a phased engagement plan, mapped at the discovery call and adjusted as work lands.

Your starting point: Executive Communication & Business English
You work in English and you want it to be an edge, not a tax — whether that's a specific high-stakes moment coming up or the day-to-day fluency that compounds over a career. The work is 1:1 or small-group coaching built on your real materials: the presentation you're about to give, the emails you actually send, the meeting you need to run.
Most people who pick "English holds me back" also pick "high-stakes nerves." The gap is rarely about vocabulary — it's about delivery under pressure, and the fix is rehearsal on real materials.
A typical first month: weekly 60-minute 1:1s built on your real materials — the next presentation, the next negotiation, the next email you're nervous about.
Inside 30 days, the fit is intensive prep for the specific moment — 2–3 sessions inside two weeks.
At this pace, the fit is weekly 1:1s for 8–12 weeks — covers the moment and builds sustained capability.
On a longer arc, the fit is a monthly retainer for ongoing coaching as your career compounds.
Recommended starting point: Executive Communication & Business English
Your starting point: Writing & Documentation
What you need is content produced or edited to a senior standard — not coaching on how to do it yourself. Reports, documentation, web or campaign copy, or a senior editing pass on non-native English drafts before they ship. The work is done-for-you: clear, market-ready English that doesn't need a rescue edit.
People who need content actually produced — not coached on how to produce it themselves — usually need it AT a quality bar they can't get to alone in the time they have. That's the right reason to hire it out.
A typical first month: the top three pieces produced or edited to a senior English standard, plus a style reference doc so future work matches.
Inside 30 days, the fit is one focused piece — done-for-you to ship-ready.
At this pace, the fit is a small project — a set of related pieces done as one coherent batch.
On a longer arc, the fit is ongoing senior editing on whatever you produce, billed on a retainer.

Your starting point: Change Communications & PR
You're the one responsible for a change landing — and the communication is the part that decides whether it does. Even as an individual carrying this, the work is the same: the narrative that frames it, the messages that set tone, and the toolkit that gets other managers able to carry it too. You don't have to build that alone.
Individuals carrying a change usually need two things at once — the narrative that frames it for them, and the kit that lets other managers carry it without re-inventing each cascade.
A typical first month: the change story locked, the leader message you'll deliver drafted, and the cascade kit other managers can use.
Inside 30 days, the fit is a sprint to land the narrative + your delivery + a manager cascade kit.
At this pace, the fit is 4–6 weeks covering narrative + cascade + the first measurement cycle.
On a longer arc, the fit is building the change-comms capability so you can run the next one yourself.

Your starting point: Two things at once
Picking more than one usually means you're carrying both your own communication AND something bigger — a change, a project, a team — at the same time. That's common: the high-stakes moment you need to prepare for and the change that's making the moment necessary often arrive together.
When more than one fits for an individual, it's usually that the bigger work (a change, a launch, a transition) IS the source of the high-stakes moments — and one engagement that covers both is more efficient than splitting them.
A typical first month: a 30-minute scoping call (no charge), then sessions that prep you for the moment AND draft the materials the moment needs.
Inside 30 days, the fit is combined sessions — your delivery prep with the materials produced alongside.
At this pace, the fit is an 8-week engagement covering your coaching + the artifacts you're responsible for.
On a longer arc, the fit is a monthly retainer covering individual coaching + done-for-you assistance as needed.
