MyFuturePlan: Individual

Key benefit: energising & engaging staff

Individual coaching is available where a group is not appropriate, where greater privacy is required or where the issues would benefit from more personalised exploration.

I take two approaches to individual coaching:

For those participating in MFP 1 and 2 then a single 1h session focusing on building emotional intelligence and personal resilience works very well in developing a personal development plan.

If you want to go straight to individual coaching then three one-hour Zoom coaching sessions with appropriate psychometrics can lay the foundation for developing a career plan or addressing an issue in the coachee’s current role. This approach is appropriate for early career professionals e.g. with the University of Oxford Fellows Network and the Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance (SULSA) and those in their first few years in industry.

Pricing

  • £400 VAT-inclusive — supported/access programme

    Includes one psychometric profile.

  • £600 VAT-inclusive — standard programme

    Includes two psychometric profiles.

  • £800 VAT-inclusive — higher-contribution programme

    Includes two psychometric profiles and reflects circumstances where a higher level of personal or organisational funding is available.

Someone beginning with the £400 programme who subsequently wants the additional psychometric and associated development can add this for £200, bringing the total investment to £600.

For most self-funding early-career bioscientists, I recommend beginning with the small-group programme, which provides both specialist career development and the additional benefit of learning alongside and connecting with other bioscientists.

 Testimonials

“I had my first session with Tony this morning and I really enjoyed it.  It’s been incredibly useful and after just one session I feel motivated and positive (rather than terrified) about the future. Thanks for arranging these coaching sessions!”

“Hi Tony, Hope you are doing well. We had a KTP meeting this week and offering the KTP Associate career coaching with you was described as "innovating within the KTP model". With best wishes, John”

“Help and feedback have been tailored to my personal experiences/motivation/career aims. Tony helped me defining the next steps to take and provided very helpful advice/suggestions/contacts. Highly recommended!”

“Yes- actually quite useful. Tony was very knowledgeable and helped me identify and explore fields that I am not very familiar with (i.e. industry and how it works). He was also very flexible in terms of the meetings, and even postponed some to give me enough time to think and process our discussions.”

“Tony is a wonderful career coach and has a great way of boosting your confidence when discussing your career and next steps. He helped me through the job application stage and interview process and I just accepted a new position. The Personal Profile Analysis test that he asks you to carry out is also extremely helpful and informative.”

“I also wanted to thank you for organising the one on one sessions with Tony. These were very interesting and helpful for me and I very much enjoyed these meetings.”

“I just want to thank you so much for letting me have a coach, it has been valuable to me, and Tony has been incredible, we still have one more session left. I think my future is starting to form a bit better. I did just get a one-year extension, which gives me more time to work on what I have been working with Tony about. I just want to emphasise how valuable this was to me and I am so grateful.”

“Hello Tony! So nice to hear from you. Things are going very well actually. Busy, but exciting. I am defining more and more my role within the company and I am now leading new projects in line with my personal objectives. Thank you again for your time and counsel. It made a big difference for me.”

“Many thanks for your help and coaching. The transition from academia to the private sector can be "scary" -especially after 12 years- but you helped me gaining confidence to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm”

“I have found adopting Time to Think rounds really valuable for running meetings within my peer group”
