one-to-one coaching
One-to-one sessions are, naturally, designed around the individual.
Here’s an illustration, with names changed, of a recent case:
After appointment to her new post in a small voluntary, Ali found there was more writing required than she expected. She wasn’t confident. Her line manager felt that she needed more support. The manager called alt62, described the situation, agreed aims, a general approach and a fee.
Ali and alt62′s PJ White began a series of phone calls and email correspondence designed to identify and deal with particular blockages. Working with PJ on an actual project from her workload, Ali developed an approach that she was happy with, practised key skills and grew in confidence. After the agreed time working together, alt62 produced a report for Ali and her manager detailing what had been achieved.
Coaching can target specific writing concerns such as vagueness about grammar, punctuation or style. It can look more broadly at organisation and work management. It can deal with procrastination or perfectionism. Or it may look at a discrete area such as writing briefing papers or handling emails.
Meetings can be face-to-face, but many clients find that regular email and phone contact is more efficient.

alt62 feedback
"I can really recommend alt62, having been talking to Peter for over a year now. His style of executive coaching is light-touch but incredibly thought-provoking. I have learnt so much and have developed a confidence I didn't think was possible. A year ago I felt out of sync with senior colleagues but his jargon-free approach has shown me I can achieve."
—FS, services director, East Midlands
"This is great. It makes such a nice change to get copy from someone who knows the subject matter inside out and asks the right questions."
—AH, features editor, London
"I really valued the highly practical coaching from alt62. It was totally geared to what I do on a daily basis. Immediately useful and easy to consolidate."
—AL, education manager, London
"Summarising that 5,000 word report into one A4 side for the Board was an utterly daunting task. alt62 achieved it with amazing insight into a previously unfamiliar business. Very impressive. Thanks."
—FW, director, W Yorks
"alt62 helped me see how important it is to break my work down into easy chunks. And introduced me to teuxdeux.com, where I put my chunks of work. It all makes work feel less daunting, more manageable and delegatable."
—NR, commissioning editor, Oxford
