Our services are designed for Directors or C-suite Executives who are in role or in-between role

Personal circumstances vary significantly for everyone, so we offer a free essential service for self-guided career planning, through to curated programmes that are bespoke to the individuals.

For those ‘in role’, our curated programmes tend to be more proactive planning and support, so alongside day-to-day coaching, helping to work through a strategy and plan to reach career ambitions, and develop an individual’s personal brand and marketing strategy. This may mean progress in their current company, a new company, or be a glidepath into a new phase of their career, as a NED, coach, advisor or entrepreneur.

‘In-between’ role curated support tends to be more reactive and driven by their immediate situation. This can start with co-piloting through an exit process and managing the raw emotional response this can generate, through to careful direction and challenge in a return-to-work process, that ensures focus, effectiveness and impactful.

How much does it all cost?

We offer a tiered range of 121 services to suits people time availability and budget:

Navigate is our starter kit, which has all the essential information for self-guided career planning and job hunting. There is a 25-minute introduction from us, but this will require you to mentor and coach yourself. After the introductory session you can book single career sessions to discuss a specific topic for £500/hr.

Elevate provides the same access to all the essential information, but this now includes 121 coaching and mentoring support. We discuss your needs in the initial introductory meeting and work then work through key stages of a programme which are relevant to you. This will require you to complete some pre and post-session work, which is discussed and developed in each session.

Transform extends the Elevate programme by including a 2–3 day 121 deep dive immersions at our coastal base in Devon. This gives the maximum opportunity to review your situation and have the space to talk through options. The immersion is followed up with coaching-mentoring, which now helps you apply the experience within your career planning.

Selective Group Programmes

Alongside our personal 121 service, we offer group online and retreat programmes. The online course covers the same material but doesn’t give the personal CV or LinkedIn profiles review. The retreat in contrast encourages more group dialogue, collaboration and support.

Getting the make-up right for these groups is important. We want them to be small, safe environments for people to participate comfortably.

If you would like to register your interest in a group session, please register here highlighting the programme you are interested in and your seniority. The timing and availability of these courses is more restricted. Prices are typically half the 121 price.

Return on investment

Sideminds gets executives to stop and think about their careers, so they progress more positively and effectively.

This might mean better remuneration and more responsibility, or greater satisfaction and purpose, or overall wellbeing as we help the individual get back to work faster.

It might even be all of these. It varies from person to person.

If you think about it, each one is very important, but rarely do executives invest time in this which can seem odd give the high salaries executives can earn. C-suite average pay for a smaller company is £150k whilst £750k for larger companies.

This means the Sideminds programmes cost 1-2 weeks’ pay in a smaller company and less between 2-3 days’ pay in a larger company. To payback, Sideminds therefore just needs to get you back to work just a few days faster to immediately cover the cost.

Or, look at it another way, if Sideminds manages to help you get a new role, this again can pay back quickly but also has a lifetime value as it impacts your salary long-term.

This value is often seen by CEO of major companies and there are companies like Stork & May, or Manchester Square Partners, but their costs are typically £40-50k for a programme.
