30% Pay Rise Within Four Weeks. Wouldn’t That Be Nice?

When people stop scrambling and start speaking clearly about their value, the market responds.

FOR YOU

Let’s say the quiet part out loud.

No coaching program can guarantee you a 30% pay rise in four weeks.

Anyone who claims they can is selling fantasy.

But a 30% shift in how you think, position yourself, and show up?
That absolutely can happen in four weeks — and when it does, pay, opportunity, and momentum often follow.

That’s exactly what the Foundations Program is designed to unlock.

Why most people don’t get paid more (even when they deserve to)

Most people don’t miss out on pay rises or better roles because they lack skill or experience.

They miss out because:

  • they don’t know how to articulate their value

  • they over-explain instead of positioning

  • they chase roles that don’t fit their strengths

  • they apply widely instead of strategically

  • they wait to be noticed instead of being clear

They’re capable.
They’re busy.
They’re tired.

And quietly, they’re underselling themselves.

Foundations doesn’t magically increase your salary.
It removes the blockers that stop it from increasing.

What actually changes in four weeks

In Foundations, people don’t become different humans.

They become clearer versions of themselves.

Across clients, the same shifts show up again and again:

  • clarity replaces panic

  • confidence replaces hedging

  • focus replaces scattergun effort

  • language replaces self-doubt

That shift is often around 20–30% in clarity, confidence, direction, and follow-through.

And that difference matters.

It’s the difference between:

  • being overlooked

  • and being taken seriously

Between:

  • “We’ll keep your details on file”

  • and “Can you come in for a conversation?”

Why four weeks is enough (and longer often isn’t)

People don’t need endless coaching.

They need:

  • the noise turned down

  • their patterns named

  • a strengths-based understanding of how they work

  • and support turning insight into action quickly

Foundations is deliberately focused and time-bound.

It interrupts drift.
It creates momentum.
It forces clarity.

And importantly, you’re not doing it alone.

The “30% uplift” isn’t hype. It’s a threshold.

You’ll hear me talk about a 30% uplift.

Not as a guarantee.
As a meaningful threshold.

A 30% shift might look like:

  • a resume that finally gets callbacks

  • interviews where you stop over-justifying

  • the confidence to ask for more — and hold the silence

  • choosing roles that fit instead of drain you

For some people, that leads to:

  • interview offers within weeks

  • better roles

  • pay rises or contract upgrades

For others, it creates the internal clarity that makes those outcomes inevitable shortly after.

Either way, the trajectory changes.

What Foundations actually delivers

Over four weeks, Foundations gives you:

  • deep insight into how you think, decide, and operate

  • a clear picture of your strengths and unrealised potential

  • language to confidently articulate your value

  • a focused plan for the next 3–9 months

  • practical support with CVs, LinkedIn, and interviews where relevant

  • ongoing accountability and support between sessions

It’s not motivational.
It’s structural.

That’s why the changes stick.

Why this isn’t really about money (even though money notices)

Foundations isn’t about chasing pay for its own sake.

It’s about:

  • self-trust

  • positioning

  • alignment

  • momentum

Money is often the by-product of those things done well.

When people stop scrambling and start speaking clearly about their value, the market responds.

(The truth is that organisations have been using this method to deliver 30% increases in employee performance for years - read how and share with your boss if you want to look like a hero)

So… wouldn’t a 30% pay rise be nice?

Of course it would.

But the real win is this:

  • a 30% increase in confidence

  • a 30% increase in clarity

  • a 30% increase in direction

Because when those go up, pay and opportunity often follow.

The invitation (and the commitment)

If this has you wondering what a 30% shift could look like for you, the next step is simple.

Book a 20-minute call with me.

No pitch.
No pressure.
Just a proper conversation to understand where you are, what’s stuck, and exactly what the Foundations Program could change over four weeks.

If we decide to work together, we’ll agree upfront on one specific, measurable outcome you want to see by the end of the program — something tangible you can point to, not a vague feeling.

And here’s the commitment I make:

If we don’t meet that agreed outcome in four weeks, I’ll keep working with you until we do — or I’ll give you your money back.

It’s that simple.

Clear expectations.
Focused work.
Real progress.

And no standing still.

I’ve got 20 minutes and so have you - secure yourself a spot now!

Foundations Program – Our Promise

The Foundations Program comes with a clear promise.

If, after completing Foundations, you:

  • do not get something positive from the experience and

  • do not make at least one agreed change identified in your initial 30-minute onboarding call

then you can choose one of two options:

  1. A full refund, minus the cost of the Strengths Profile assessment, or

  2. Continue working with me at no additional cost until you achieve a meaningful breakthrough.

This promise exists because Foundations is designed to create clarity, momentum, and real change — not just conversation.

Coaching Memberships – Flexibility, Not Guarantees

On-going coaching memberships do not come with a performance guarantee.

Instead, they are designed to be low-risk and flexible:

  • You can cancel at any time

  • There are no penalties or lock-ins

You stay because the coaching is useful — not because you’re tied to a contract.

12-Month Upfront Memberships – Pro-Rata Refunds

If you choose to pay for 12 months upfront, you’re entitled to request a pro-rata refund at any time if you decide the experience is not positive for you.

In this case:

  • The number of coaching sessions already attended will be deducted from the original amount paid

  • The remaining balance will be refunded accordingly

Important Notes

  • Coaching is not a done-for-you service. Results depend on your willingness to engage, reflect, and take action.

  • If at any point it becomes clear that the agreed effort and participation are not there, I’ll raise this directly and honestly.

  • If alignment can’t be restored, a refund of the unused portion of the coaching may be issued at the standard coaching rate.

Exclusions

Refunds and guarantees do not apply to the Resume & Career Upgrade Package or the Seven Days of Strengths self-guided program, due to the nature of the work and time already invested.
