How does the guarantee work?

If it wasn’t worth it, tell me within 24 hours and you won’t be charged. Your card is charged only after that window, so there is nothing to refund.

What if I need to cancel, or miss the session?

Cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before at no charge, from the link in your confirmation email. Later cancellations and missed sessions may be charged the full fee; the guarantee covers sessions that happened.

Yes, up to three people including you. Add their emails when you book and they get the calendar invite too.

What if it needs more than one session?

Book another, or set a rhythm such as every two weeks. If it turns into a project or a training program, that is scoped on a free call and quoted as a fixed scope with a capped budget before any work starts.

What we can work on

Bring what's stuck

AI your team pays for and barely uses: Find two or three real workflows where the licenses you already have save time, and set the first one up on your own accounts.
Your first assistant or automation: Build a simple, reusable assistant or flow together, or leave with the exact steps to finish it.
A tool decision: Leave knowing which product to buy, which to skip, and why, plus what your staff can safely paste where.
Something that stopped working, or an idea to test: Diagnose a broken prompt, flow or integration and fix it when that fits in the session, or get an independent read on an idea before you spend thousands building it.
