Advisory Sessions

One-to-one sessions built around your specific international business challenges.

Up to 90 minutes | Online Session | $695 / €595 / £495, fixed, no extras

A supplier relationship has stalled. A customer has gone quiet. A negotiation isn't moving forward. An important meeting ended politely but achieved very little.

When something isn't working in an international business relationship, you don't always need cross-cultural training. Sometimes you need an experienced sounding board to help you understand what's really happening and decide what to do next.

How an Advisory Session Works

Every session starts with your situation.

 

Before we go ahead, ​we'll have an introductory conversation so you can explain the challenge. Together, we'll decide whether an Advisory Session is the right approach. There is no obligation to proceed.

In the session itself, we work through the practical questions suxh as:

  • What is actually happening here?

  • Why are people responding this way?

  • What might they be expecting from me?

  • What options do I have?

  • How should I respond next?

You'll leave with greater clarity, increased confidence and practical next steps you can apply immediately.

 

Not pages of notes. Not abstract models. Just practical advice and realistic options.

Why People Book an Advisory Session

These sessions help professionals who are:

  • Preparing for an important negotiation or commercial discussion

  • Managing international teams experiencing communication or delivery challenges

  • Working with overseas customers, suppliers or business partners where progress has stalled

  • Preparing for an important international meeting

  • Trying to understand why an international business relationship has slowed or become difficult

The advice is based on more than 30 years of practical international business experience across more than 50 countries, helping organisations navigate complex business relationships across different markets and cultures.

Typical Situations

  • A customer relationship has gone quiet after positive meetings

  • Decision making has changed following an acquisition or organisational change

  • An international team appears aligned during meetings but delivery tells a different story

  • Meetings are positive but rarely produce clear decisions

  • Everyone seems to agree, yet nothing moves forward

  • Different expectations are creating frustration on both sides

Confidentiality

These sessions often involve live commercial discussions, confidential projects and sensitive business relationships. Everything discussed remains strictly confidential, and I am happy to work under a Non-Disclosure Agreement where required.

Booking

The first step is a short, free conversation. You describe your situation, and we discuss whether and how we can help. There is no obligation to proceed. Get In Touch
