Thank you for your support over the last 6 months. It’s been a turbulent time and you’ve been there with a kind ear, practical suggestions and a positive mindset for me to lean on and learn from.
Thank you for all the suggestions on how I can take the steps I need to take, in order to get where I want to be. It’s in progress, and I’m quietly excited about the future.
Thank you and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. I’d recommend you as a mentor without hesitation.

Before working with Sean—things felt messy. We had so many ideas around what we thought we needed to do to move our business forward, but we were like a bunch of chickens running around with our heads cut off.
Sean's ability to listen, his intention and his experience carved a clear path for us to venture down in what felt like seconds. More than ever, we have the confidence and direction we need to attract more of the right clients and build a thriving sustainable business.

Thanks Sean, you are a brilliant coach and have been so helpful to me and my team. Having someone with your experience in management and who I can trust has been really valuable. You have given us the way forward and it has inspired everyone. More...

Sean took so much time to understand us, pushing us to question our own beliefs. It’s a different approach to anything we’ve experienced.
Completely refreshing.
They managed to distill everything that’s been in our heads for months that everyone got in seconds, far better than anyone could describe. Like a juice extractor, they removed the pulp and retained the very best bits.

Sean has been encouraging and supportive throughout the mentoring process, always giving excellent advice and suggestions. I have come away with some strong ideas to take forward for my business, and a confidence and self-belief that I didn’t have before. More...

Sean has been instrumental to how our business is now looking to the future.
His process has helped me clearly convey my vision for the business and how I want it to grow in line with my values as a business leader.
My staff now understand what’s expected each other, which has resulted in them proactively taking more responsibility for improving processes for our customers.
Sean listened, guided, and demonstrated a commitment to delivering value beyond our initial expectations.”

Sean Masters is absolutely fantastic at what he does, and if you need insight to business strategy, brand purpose, product placement or strategic problem solving, you should probably reach out to him.

I worked with Sean for only a brief period and gained an immense amount of value from this time. Together, we were able to quickly pinpoint areas to delve into further and challenge me on.
He quickly gained an understanding of my business, the challenges and opportunities and enabled me to have far more clarity about my next role within that business.
He held me accountable between sessions to advance my thinking and our discussions for my own benefit, and for the benefit of my business.

What do you love most about your job?
I love working with passionate, talented, ambitious professionals, helping them get from where they are now to where they want to be.
I love the diversity of people, situations and challenges. And, I get a lot of self-satisfaction from seeing my clients grow in confidence and find clarity in what they need to do for themselves and their businesses.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've grown, sold and closed several since my first in 2007, when, at the time, I felt I had outgrown my role and peers and had ambitions to provide a better outcome for clients. I've been on a steep learning curve ever since.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am fluent in people. I have natural skills for listening and empathy. I don’t judge and always (try to) remain objective.
I also bring energy and a grounded, practical mindset to every coaching or mentoring situation.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Most of my coaching and mentoring is online. However, where required, we can work together in person.
Coaching and Mentoring
When working with Service Business owners and their teams, I find the most effective way of achieving results is with a balanced blend:
A measure of Coaching (80% of the time)
Confidential, careful questioning designed to unlock performance and overcome obstacles.
A splash of Mentoring (15% of the time)
A brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a nudge in the right direction, drawn from a wealth of experience.
A twist of Consulting/Facilitating (5% of the time)
Although the least effective in the long term, sometimes providing answers serves as a vital shortcut.
My focus is to help you move forward with confidence.
How does this work?
The first thing to do is to determine whether we are a good fit. We do this over a 30-minute call. If we are both happy to proceed, we agree on terms and arrange the first session.
How long are the sessions?
The Goldilocks of session lengths is 1.5 hours. I find 1 hour can feel rushed and 2 hours is far too long. So I tend to block 1.5 hours for each session. If we don’t use it all, no problem, you have the gift of time to do something else productive.
How much time between sessions?
This is entirely up to you. As a guide, most clients choose to meet every 2 weeks. It’s enough time to gather your thoughts and take action, without you drifting to the next session.
How much is it?
1x ad-hoc session (1.5-hour block): £150 + VAT.
Up to 3x sessions per month (1.5-hour blocks): £350 + VAT
Transactions are made via Go Cardless in advance.
What’s the minimum number of sessions?
Although there is no minimum, I recommend no less than 3 sessions. By the end of the third session, we will both know whether it is worth continuing.
