A VIP half day or full day gives us time to work closely on an important project or academic decision. We can examine your work, develop ideas, challenge assumptions and begin putting decisions into practice.

We meet in a comfortable surroundings in Dublin or London, with lunch and refreshments included.

Make room for what matters next

Teaching, meetings, administration and other people’s priorities can fill your diary. Your own writing and longer-term ambitions are repeatedly pushed back.

Even when you find time, you may spend it circling the same questions. What needs to change in this manuscript? Which project should come next? What does your work add up to—and how do you make that contribution visible?

This is an opportunity to work through those questions with focused, individual support.

What would you like us to work on?

Choose your experience

The VIP Half Day

Focused attention on one substantial priority.

A half day gives us space to explore a defined challenge, make decisions and begin working on the changes.

You might bring an article whose structure needs rethinking, a manuscript that needs an editorial plan, or a promotion case whose central argument needs sharpening.

We combine coaching, direct feedback and practical work around the priority we agree beforehand.

Your half-day experience includes:

• A preparation call to establish your priorities.

• Advance review of agreed materials.

• A one-to-one half day in a hotel lounge in Dublin or London.

• Lunch and refreshments.

• A follow-up call to review progress and refine your next steps.

The VIP Full Day

Sustained attention to a substantial project or your next academic chapter.

A full day allows us to explore connected questions in greater depth, with time to develop and test ideas between conversations.

We might examine the architecture of your book and work on a difficult section. Or clarify your intellectual identity, assess the evidence of your contribution and use that work to strengthen a promotion or job application.

There is room to think, work independently, return for feedback and refine what you have produced.

Your full-day experience includes:

• A preparation call to establish your priorities.

• Advance review of agreed materials.

• A one-to-one full day in a hotel lounge in Dublin or London.

• Lunch and refreshments.

• A follow-up call to review progress and refine your next steps.
