Over the last two weeks, I’ve shared how my one-line emails gave me away under pressure, and why I use Extended DISC to help people see their own patterns.
You might be wondering about the practical side: what actually happens?
Fair question. When you’re already full, you want to know exactly what you’re saying yes to.
So here it is, from start to finish.
Before we meet
You choose a time from the sessions available in my calendar. When you book, you’ll answer three short questions, so I arrive already knowing a little about your role and what’s happening at work right now.
Within one business day, I’ll send you the link to the Extended DISC questionnaire. You complete it online, in your own time. Please finish it at least three days before we meet, so I have time to review your report properly.
There’s no preparation beyond that. No reading. No homework.
The report
Your report is detailed. It covers your natural style, how you believe you need to adjust right now, what motivates you, what drains you, and how your style tends to show up when the pressure is on.
On its own, it’s a lot of information. That’s exactly why we meet.
The hour together
We meet on Zoom for an hour. This isn’t a lecture on DISC theory. We spend the time on you.
We’ll look at three things:
Your natural style. What comes easily to you, and where you’re at your best.
The gap. Where you’re adjusting the most right now, and what that’s costing you in energy.
Your pressure pattern. How your style tends to show up when things get hard, and the early signs that you’re sliding into it.
Then we bring it into your real work. A team member you find difficult. A decision you keep putting off. A week that keeps getting away from you.
That’s where the profile stops being interesting and starts being useful.
After we meet
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a one-page written summary. Not a recording to sit through. One page you can actually use, covering:
- your natural style, in plain language
- what you’re adjusting to, and what it’s costing you
- how your pattern shows up under pressure
- three practical actions for the next 30 days
- the early warning signs to watch for
- my honest view on what, if anything, would help next
With your permission, I record our session so the summary reflects what we actually discussed. An AI tool helps me draft it. I review and edit every word before it reaches you. You can say no to recording at any time, including at the start of the session, and I’ll write your summary from my notes instead.
Who this is for
This is for health professionals, practice owners and team leaders who are capable, experienced and tired of repeating the same patterns.
Usually, money isn’t the biggest pressure. Time is. Capacity is. And the frustrating sense of handling things the way you swore you wouldn’t again.
If you want to understand how you show up under pressure, and do something practical about it, this is for you.
Who this isn’t for
It isn’t therapy, and it isn’t a diagnosis.
If you’re in crisis, or you need mental health support, please reach out to your GP or a mental health professional. That deserves proper care, and this isn’t the right place for it.
And it isn’t a tool for making decisions about other people, such as who to hire or who to let go.
What happens next
For many people, the session is enough. They leave with clarity and a page of next steps, and that’s the whole job done.
Some people want to keep going. For them, I offer a six-session coaching program, held fortnightly. Fortnightly is deliberate: there’s enough time between sessions to practise something new, and not so much that the momentum is lost.
If that might help you, I’ll say so in your summary. If it won’t, I’ll say that too.
If you’d like to book
I’m keeping up to five places a month for Extended DISC sessions.
The investment is $600, which includes the questionnaire, your full report, our hour together, and your written summary.
