Try a week

Write your week into the sentence and see one way to make room for thinking. Or shape a programme for four to eight leaders. Everything stays on this page, and nothing is sent.

A week to try. A programme to shape.

Hours are weekly and counted once. Start from the sample, then change any number.

Who this is for One leader A company programme

In a hour week, I spend hours in meetings and on people work outside them. If I move hours of meetings to async and hand over more, I would like hours of thinking time a week. Protect thinking time

Count each hour once and enter net time released after replacement and handover work. The 10 to 80 hour model range is not health advice.

A schematic of whole weekly hours. It does not place meetings on particular days or promise a diary slot.

2 h thinking time proposed

Your 40-hour example: 16 h meeting-related work remaining, 8 h people work outside meetings, 12 h other work, 2 h thinking and 2 h unallocated.

Your 2 h target fits this example. 2 h stays unallocated for you to place.

A planning example, not time saved or a promised result. Agree any change with the people involved.

Where a first call could start: which 4 h of meetings to change, who needs to agree, and where your 2 h block sits in the week.

For a cohort of leaders, with nonetwothree private sessions each, delivered by videoat the company's premisesin a hired London room and starting

Contact time and scope for a conversation, not a quote or staffing estimate. Private sessions are 75 minutes each.

Each workshop is 3.5 hours. Brick dots stand for each leader's private sessions, held between workshops.

4 workshops + 2 private sessions per leader

16.5 contact hours per leader over about six months; 15 private-session coach hours across six leaders; 2 hours with the sponsor.

Video: no room or travel is selected. Start preference: when agreed.

The three hour figures count different time: each leader, the coaches and the sponsor, so they do not add up. Tessa leads with one or two associates agreed in the proposal. Participants meet their proposed coach first. Reporting covers only agreed attendance and safe shared themes; private notes stay private subject to the agreement and applicable disclosure duties.

Quoted per company. The proposal shows the fee excluding VAT, VAT at 20%, and the total including VAT.

Where a first call could start: the sponsor question, which six leaders join, and what the sponsor should see in reports.

Plan it with your own assistant

Your week stays on this page. If you would rather think it through with the AI assistant you already use, copy a short note about the practice and paste it there. Then bring what it drafts to the request form.
