Gerry on 1-to-1 mentorship, in his own words
Two minutes on who 1-to-1 mentorship is for, how the sessions run, and the kind of founder who gets the most out of it.
What 1-to-1 mentorship has done for the founders who took it
Drawn from the founders Gerry has mentored one to one across a decade of owner-led businesses.

The moment a founder stops being the bottleneck
Six business owners on what 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry actually changed. Hover to pause and read.
I came to 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry convinced the problem was my sales numbers. It was not. Within a quarter I had handed over three things I had never let go of, and the numbers fixed themselves.
What I got from 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry was permission to stop being the answer to everything. My leadership team is unrecognisable, and I took a two week holiday without checking in once.
Gerry is the first person who told me the truth about my business rather than what I wanted to hear. 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry was uncomfortable for a fortnight and worth every penny since.
We had grown for six years and stopped dead. 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry found the constraint in the first session. It was not the one any of us had been arguing about.
I had used two other coaches before. The difference with 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry is that we built things. Actual systems, written down, that my team still runs today.
Revenue is up, but the thing I would tell anyone considering 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry is that I got my weekends back. That is what I actually wanted and did not know how to ask for.
How 1-to-1 mentorship with Gerry actually works
Mentorship is not a curriculum. It is regular, direct access to someone who has already solved the problem in front of you, and who will tell you the truth about it.
-
01
We start with the honest version
One long session where you say the parts you do not say in board meetings. What is actually broken, what you are avoiding, what you are afraid is true. Nothing useful happens before this.
-
02
We agree what we are actually solving
Most founders arrive with a symptom. We find the constraint underneath it and name it plainly, so we are not spending twelve months on the wrong problem.
-
03
We meet regularly and you keep moving
Twice a month, plus direct access between sessions when something cannot wait. You bring live decisions. We work them through together and you leave with a call made.
-
04
You outgrow needing it
The goal is not a client for life. The goal is a founder who has internalised the thinking and no longer needs someone to borrow judgement from.
What changes when you have 1-to-1 mentorship behind you
Decisions get made
The backlog of things you have been circling for months starts clearing, because there is somewhere to take them.
You stop carrying it alone
The isolation of running the business is the part nobody warns you about. This is the fix for it.
Your judgement sharpens
Over time you stop needing the second opinion, because you have absorbed how the thinking works.
Is 1-to-1 mentorship the right fit for you?
This is for you if
- You are running a business that is already working and you want it to work better.
- You want candour rather than encouragement.
- You can act on what you decide without asking permission.
- You are willing to be wrong in front of someone.
This is not for you if
- You are looking for someone to run the business for you.
- You want a template or a framework you can follow without thinking.
- You are pre-revenue and still testing whether the idea works.
Twenty years of consulting and Gerry saw in one session what nobody else had.
What your 1-to-1 mentorship includes
- Two 90 minute sessions every month
- Direct access between sessions for decisions that cannot wait
- A full diagnostic of the business in the first month
- Written follow-up after every session, so nothing gets lost
- Review of your numbers, plans and key hires as they come up
- A quarterly step back to check you are still solving the right problem
Delivered online, or in person across London and Hertfordshire. Minimum initial commitment of six months, because meaningful change does not happen in three.

1-to-1 mentorship: the questions founders ask
How is this different from coaching?
Coaching draws the answer out of you. Mentorship gives you the answer when someone already has it, and then shows you how they got there. Most founders need both at different moments, and Gerry moves between them depending on what the situation calls for.
How quickly will I see a difference?
Clarity usually arrives in the first session, because naming the real constraint is itself a relief. Results in the business follow the work you do afterwards, which typically means a visible shift within one to two quarters.
What if I am not sure this is the right service?
Book the call anyway. Gerry will tell you if a Business Audit or the 12 Week Programme is the better starting point. He would rather send you to the right thing than sell you the wrong one.
Do you work with businesses in my industry?
The constraints that stall a business are remarkably consistent across industries. Gerry has worked with FTSE-listed companies, global energy operators and founder-led service businesses, and the same four pillars apply to all of them.
Let's find your way through.
A direct conversation about where you are stuck and whether this is the right way to fix it.
