Freelance Accelerator

The course consists of 5 pillars:

1. Achieving clarity

A key part of achieving any goal is being clear about what it is in the first place. This may sound obvious but often we set things that are too big, seem daunting and then we don’t get there, or we’re actually not as sure on the detail or the journey as we thought. Through one to one and group coaching we’ll work together to identify clear goals over the 3 months that are realistic and achievable.

2. Eliminating Roadblocks

Stuff gets in the way. It’s as simple as that. It could be procrastination, having too much on or other challenges and pressures in life. After determining what the main challenges are for all of us we’ll spend some time in each session working on practical techniques and ideas that can help overcome these and move forward without compromise.

3. Accountability

This is undoubtedly one of the toughest things about being a freelancer. When you work in a regular job you have someone chasing you if work doesn’t get done, but for us, if we do something tomorrow instead of today, so what? Then days become weeks… Learning how to hold yourself to account and ways to have others help you is hugely beneficial. This isn’t about having someone breathing down your neck if something doesn’t happen (unless that’s what motivates you!) but more about putting measures in place to keep you on track.

4. Learning and Discovery

This course is very much designed for you to learn and discover more about yourself. As well as doing the work to get to your goals you will also be exposed to new ideas and principles that help you grow. We will co-create a psychologically safe environment within the group to make sure we all feel safe enough to be honest and open. By doing this we can really get under the skin of our challenges and difficulties and help each other overcome them. You will also learn some very simple coaching techniques that can be used to help yourself and each other.

​

5. Sustainability

This course will give you tools and techniques coupled with a greater understanding of yourself in order to be self-sufficient going forward. Whilst commercially it would be great for you to keep coming back every time you want to get something done that would neither be helpful, sustainable or ethical. You’ll be part of this process and know how to set it up for yourself in future.

​

Logistics

The course will run fortnightly over a 12 week period.

You will receive 6 x 90min group sessions and 2 x 60min one to one coaching sessions (first one to be prior to the course starting, second session whenever feels most useful to you).

Whilst we understand things come up, in the spirit of what the course is about we’ll be looking for a strong commitment to attend all 6 group sessions.
