Monthly business coaching to stay accountable

Start with momentum, then stay on track

Running a business can feel stop-start. You get a burst of energy, then day-to-day work takes over and the big decisions keep getting pushed back. This package gives you a short period of focus to build momentum, followed by a steady monthly check-in to keep progress moving.

Most business owners don’t need intense support forever

What they often need is:

A short period of focus to build momentum and make key decisions, and
A steady monthly check-in to keep progress moving.

This package is designed to do exactly that.

Who this is for

This is for business owners who:

Are carrying a lot and want a calm space to think clearly
Need help making decisions and sticking to priorities
Want accountability without feeling managed
Want progress to feel steady rather than stop-start

How it works

Months 1–2: Momentum

2 sessions per month (up to 90 minutes)
We create clarity, direction, and a simple plan
We remove the biggest blockers quickly

Months 3–6: Maintain

1 session per month (up to 90 minutes)
We keep you focused, accountable, and moving forward
We adjust the plan as your business evolves

After each session you’ll receive a short written summary with key decisions and next steps (so you leave clear on what you’re doing next). This mirrors how you already follow up clients with written notes and next steps.

What we cover

Every session is based on what you need most right now. This often includes:

Priorities and planning
Offers and pricing
Confidence and leadership
Difficult conversations
Time, boundaries and overwhelm
Project planning and execution
Team and structure as you grow

Pricing

Momentum to Maintain (6 months)

Months 1–2: £400 per month
Months 3–6: £200 per monthTotal: £1,600

Extra sessions are available at £200 if you hit a busy project phase.

Momentum first, then consistency, so you get real progress without needing constant coaching

If you’d like to explore whether this is right for you, book a short exploratory call and we’ll talk it through.

What happens on an exploratory call?

We will:

Get clear on what’s feeling hard right now (and what you want to change)
Agree the most important outcomes for the next 2–3 months
Check whether Momentum → Maintain is the right fit, or if a different approach would suit you better
Answer any questions about how the sessions work and what to expect

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll agree the next step. If not, I’ll point you in the right direction.

Examples of what we work on

“Everything feels urgent.”
We choose clear priorities for the next 30 days and create a simple plan you can stick to.
“I’m not confident about pricing.”
We tighten your offer, set pricing you can stand behind, and decide how you’ll communicate it.
“I’m avoiding a difficult conversation.”
We plan the conversation, find the right words, and make it feel calmer and more direct.
“My business is growing but it’s messy.”
We improve structure: roles, processes, and what needs to stop / start / simplify.
“I’m overwhelmed and slipping back into stop‑start.”
We reset boundaries, reduce noise, and build a realistic rhythm that holds.

What you’ll leave with after each session

You’ll leave each session with:

clear decisions (not more thinking)
3–5 priority next steps
anything we agreed to stop, start, or delegate
a short written summary with key decisions and actions (so you don’t have to remember it all)

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Coaching helps business owners clarify the vision of their business and how it fits in with their personal goals. Allowing the owner to understand the impact that reaching those goals will have on their life.

We focused on your move into a more strategic leadership role, particularly the development of a clear, concise business strategy to replace the current 42-page document. The structure you outlined feels strong and well timed ahead of the May board meeting.
We also covered ways to improve board effectiveness, including tighter meeting structures, clearer decision-making and creating space for relevant input while staying focused on outcomes. Your progress in stepping back from operational detail and leading at a higher level is coming through clearly.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nicky Dunn as my coach, and I can’t recommend her enough. Her coaching has made a significant impact on my business, Female Health Founders, an online membership community for women’s health experts on their entrepreneurial journeys.

Nicky’s expertise in business strategy, leadership, and growth has been invaluable. She’s helped me clarify my vision, refine my approach, and significantly improve the value we offer our members. Since working with her, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in member engagement and overall satisfaction. Nicky’s practical advice and unwavering support have been game-changers, helping me navigate challenges and scale my business effectively. The positive shifts in both my business and mindset are a direct result of her guidance. If you’re looking to take your business to the next level, I highly recommend Nicky Dunn’s coaching.

Nicky has been an amazing support during the start up of my business. Nicky encouraged me to think outside of the box and expand on ideas to create a functional and successful business.
I like how Nicky is calm, listens and gets you to think about what you want from your business. Throughout our coaching sessions, Nicky has been incredibly supportive, encouraging me to think creatively about my new business and the direction I want to take it in the future. In each session, Nicky encouraged me to set realistic goals to create a successful business. I have thoroughly enjoyed each session and now possess the tools to continue.

Business Case Studies

Case study: Recruitment business reset, clearer strategy, stronger systems, and a focused growth plan

Starting point
A recruitment business owner felt frustrated that performance was behind target and wanted a clearer growth plan and better systems. Current revenue was £145K against a £170K target.

Their story in brief
They didn’t want “more noise”. They wanted practical focus: what to prioritise, what to change in the business, and what to build so growth felt more predictable.

What we did in coaching

Clarified direction: focusing on expanding into vertical markets (rather than geographic growth).
Built an action plan around CRM discipline, cost review, and a clearer revenue plan.
Shaped operational improvements: exploring AI tools for sourcing/shortlisting, and a 24‑hour shortlisting process once the website work was completed.
Strengthened the foundations: refining vision, mission and values and simplifying messaging for the market.

Outcomes / progress (as recorded)

A clear set of next steps: CRM updates, cost review with accountant, new vertical targets, and a planned website launch by end of April.
Reduced “overwhelm” by turning ideas into a structured plan, with focus on systems and retention/outreach.
The client reported feeling supported and more focused during a busy period: “you have been a great support and helped me focus in the storms!!”

Client words
“Thank you for your help… you have been a great support and helped me focus in the storms!!”

Case Study: Visibility and confidence reset, steady momentum while building the business

Starting point
A business owner wanted support, confidence, and momentum while working on visibility and her next steps. She was actively improving her website (including a free download) and wanted to be “more visible”, but needed steady support alongside the practical work.

Their story in brief
She was determined to make the business work and was using time away to brainstorm workshops, courses and blog ideas. There were a few knocks along the way (for example, a planned digital marketing course being cancelled), and she needed encouragement to keep going rather than losing momentum.
