JOH. Personal Coaching · The Next Chapter

Clarity gives you direction. Consistent action changes what happens next.

The Next Chapter gives you the clarity, structure and accountability to understand where you are, decide what comes next and start making it happen. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to know you’re ready for something to change.

01

One Conversation

Clarity

One focused 60-minute conversation to help you step back, think properly and get clear on what happens next.

£149 Details

One conversation. 60 minutes. A clearer way forward.

A focused 60-minute 1:1 conversation designed to help you make sense of where you are, understand what’s really getting in the way, and leave clear on what needs to happen next.

What you’ll leave with:

  • Greater clarity on your current situation and the changes you want
  • A better understanding of what’s really getting in the way
  • Your immediate priorities, identified
  • Practical, actionable next steps
  • A stronger sense of direction and momentum
  1. Book: secure your session and choose a time
  2. Talk: 60 focused minutes exploring your situation, priorities and what needs to change
  3. Act: leave with a clear, practical action plan

Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to see things differently.

Self-Guided

Essential

A structured self-guided programme bringing together the frameworks, questions and exercises designed to help you understand where you are and build what comes next.

£429 Details

Your next chapter. Built at your own pace.

A self-guided programme bringing together the frameworks, tools and structure to help you get clear on your priorities and drive real change, without scheduled sessions or someone else’s pace. Built on nearly two decades of experience in leadership, performance and navigating change.

Five modules:

  1. Where you are now: take stock across the areas of your life that matter
  2. What really matters: get clear on your priorities and values
  3. Where you’re going: establish a clear direction
  4. What needs to change: identify the gaps and what’s in the way
  5. Turning clarity into action: leave with practical, honest commitments

Sometimes you don’t need someone to give you the answers. You need the right questions.

Best for people who know something needs to change but lack clarity on direction, feel stuck or distracted, want structured frameworks rather than open-ended reflection, prefer working independently over 1:1 coaching, and are willing to be honest with themselves.

Structured Coaching

Momentum

Ongoing structure and accountability for people who know what needs to change and want consistent support to make it stick.

£499/mo Details

Change that holds, month after month.

Where Clarity gives you a single moment of clarity and Essential gives you a self-guided programme, Momentum is ongoing: regular coaching, real accountability and steady progress over time, for people who know a single session or a self-paced course isn’t enough on its own.

What’s included:

  • Regular 1:1 coaching sessions across the engagement
  • Ongoing accountability between sessions
  • A structured plan that adapts as things change
  • Direct support from Joe throughout

Consistency is what turns clarity into change.

Higher-Touch Coaching

Transformation

Sustained, higher-touch coaching for people pursuing a bigger, longer-arc change, for as long as it genuinely takes.

£749/mo Details

For the change that takes longer than three months to land.

Transformation is the most intensive level of support in The Next Chapter, for people pursuing a bigger, longer-arc change, who want sustained, higher-touch coaching across every part of it, for as long as it genuinely takes.

What’s included:

  • More frequent 1:1 coaching than Momentum
  • Higher-touch, closer support between sessions
  • Sustained focus across a longer engagement
  • Built for bigger transitions, not single problems

Some change happens in a conversation. Some takes six months of consistent work.

JOH. Business Consultancy

Better businesses. Better performance.

Nearly two decades leading teams, operations and transformation in financial services means this starts the same way the coaching does: with clarity, not a generic playbook. Every engagement begins with a straightforward conversation about what’s actually going on, where the real constraints are, and what would genuinely move things forward, before any plan gets written.

01

For Scaling Owners

Growth

Practical strategy for owners who want to scale: new revenue, new markets, or simply doing more of what already works, without losing what makes the business good.

Details

More of what’s working. Less of what’s guessing.

Growth engagements start with an honest look at where growth is actually possible, then move straight into building a practical plan for new revenue or new markets, sized to what the business can actually execute.

What’s included:

  • A straightforward conversation about where growth is actually possible, not a generic playbook
  • A clear view of what’s working now, and what’s genuinely constraining scaling it further
  • A practical plan for new revenue or new markets, sized to what the business can actually execute
  • Direct involvement from Joe throughout, not a junior consultant handed the account

Growth that comes from clarity holds. Growth that comes from guesswork doesn’t.

For Sustainable Success

Performance & Lifestyle

Sharper operations and stronger leadership, without the business swallowing the life you built it for. For owners whose success has started to cost more than it’s worth.

Details

Sharper operations. A business that doesn’t swallow your life.

This is for owners whose business has started to cost more than it’s worth: operations that have become the constraint rather than the engine. The work is practical fixes to structure, process and leadership load, not a wholesale rebuild, aimed at getting time and headspace back as well as better numbers.

What’s included:

  • An honest look at where operations have become the constraint, not the engine
  • Practical fixes to structure, process and leadership load, not a wholesale rebuild
  • A plan that gets time and headspace back, not just better numbers on a page
  • Direct support adapting the plan as the business actually runs, month to month

Success shouldn’t cost you the life you built the business for.

03

For Owners Planning Ahead

Exit & Succession

For owners starting to think about what comes next: building the value, structure and readiness that make a business genuinely saleable, or ready to hand on.

Details

What comes next starts with what you build today.

For owners starting to think about what comes next. The work covers what actually makes a business valuable to someone else, and builds the structure, dependencies and financial readiness that make it genuinely saleable, or ready to hand on, at the pace that’s right for the business.

What’s included:

  • A clear-eyed view of what actually makes the business valuable to someone else
  • A practical readiness plan covering structure, dependencies and financials, the parts most owners overlook
  • Support building succession or exit readiness at the pace that’s right for the business
  • A process built around the eventual outcome, not just today’s operations

The businesses that sell well are the ones built to be sold, long before anyone’s looking.

Enquire About Exit & Succession

Delivered as ongoing advisory, fractional leadership support, or focused workshops, whatever fits the business. Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a contract.

JOH. Money

Real financial education, for two audiences.

Not a card app with education bolted on. JOH. Money is built as two separate propositions under one roof: content for parents to go through with a younger child, and content that speaks directly to teenagers and young adults finding their own financial independence, from someone who spent nearly two decades actually working in financial services. It’s financial literacy taught the way it should be: practical, honest, and grounded in real experience.

For Parents

Four age-banded courses, built to go through together.

Each course is a parent and child working through it side by side: a short piece to read together, a one-page conversation guide with the actual questions to ask, and a hands-on activity for the week. No card, no products named, just the conversations most families never quite get round to having.

01

Ages 5 to 7

Starting Out

The first money conversations: real coins, earning versus being given, and the discipline of waiting for something instead of getting it straight away.

£49 · 7 modules Details

Their first money, and their first real decisions about it.

Pocket money at this age isn’t about the amount, it’s about handing over a first genuine decision. Starting Out is built around that: small, concrete ideas a five to seven year old can actually grasp, done together rather than explained at them.

What it covers:

  • What money actually is, and where it comes from
  • Recognising and counting real coins and notes
  • Earning something versus simply being given it
  • Wants and needs, made concrete with everyday examples
  • Waiting for something, instead of getting it straight away
  • A first save, spend and give split for pocket money

The amount was never the point. The decision was.

Get Starting Out
02

Ages 8 to 11

The Money Gap

Pocket money done properly, a first real budget, and a first taste of running something of their own, right where the existing card apps stop at a balance and a chart.

£49 · 7 modules Details

This is the age the market forgot.

Plenty of apps will show an eight year old a balance. Almost none of them teach what to actually do with it. The Money Gap is built for exactly that space: real budgeting, real saving, and a first small business of their own.

What it covers:

  • Agreeing a fair, regular pocket money arrangement
  • Tracking spending for a week, needs versus wants
  • Saving toward a real, chosen goal
  • What a bank actually does with money kept safe
  • Comparing prices and spotting a genuine deal
  • Running a first small business, and giving some of it back

Give them something to run, not just something to watch.

Get The Money Gap
03

Ages 12 to 14

Taking Charge

Real budgeting, how advertising actually works on them, and the peer pressure to spend, addressed directly rather than avoided.

£49 · 7 modules Details

Old enough to earn, spend and be targeted by all three.

This is the age advertising, social pressure and in-app spending start working on them properly. Taking Charge names all of it directly, then builds the budgeting and goal-setting skills to actually manage it.

What it covers:

  • Realistic ways to earn beyond pocket money
  • Building a proper monthly budget
  • How interest actually grows money over time
  • The advertising playbook, including influencer marketing
  • Peer pressure to spend, and the real cost hidden inside “free”
  • Setting and sticking to a real savings goal

Nobody explains the advertising playbook to a thirteen year old. Somebody should.

Get Taking Charge
04

Ages 15 to 18

Getting Ready

A first bank account, payslips and tax, credit and debt, and student finance, before they need any of it for real.

£49 · 7 modules Details

Everything nobody sits them down and explains.

A first current account, a first payslip, a first realistic look at credit and debt. Getting Ready covers the practical mechanics of early independence, so the first time they encounter any of it isn’t also the first time they understand it.

What it covers:

  • A first bank account and card, and avoiding the easy overspend
  • Payslips, tax and National Insurance, explained properly
  • Budgeting for real independence: going out, transport, moving out
  • Saving and investing, the basics, with no products named
  • Understanding credit, debt, and what a credit score actually is
  • Student finance and what it really costs

Getting ready beats catching up.

Get Getting Ready
For Young Adults

One course, built for eighteen and over specifically.

Once someone’s an adult, this stops being something a parent teaches them and becomes something they can take for themselves. Same practical, no-product-names approach, aimed at the decisions that actually show up once you’re out on your own.

01

18 and Over

Real Independence

Credit, investing, debt used well instead of badly, and building something beyond a monthly wage, addressed directly to them, not through a parent.

£79 · 16 modules Details

Everything the school system never quite got to.

Real Independence is written first person, for the young adult taking it themselves: how credit files actually work, the honest difference between good and bad debt, how to stop living pay cheque to pay cheque, and how wealth actually gets built, and occasionally lost, in real life rather than on social media.

What it covers:

  • Credit files, properly explained, and the stock market demystified
  • Investing money: the real basics, risk and time horizon included
  • Good debt versus bad debt, and using debt as a tool, with the real downside included
  • Escaping the pay cheque to pay cheque cycle, and moving from income to assets
  • Life beyond the 9 to 5: side hustles and passive income, realistically assessed
  • Real case studies: how wealth gets built, how it gets given away, and how it gets lost

Nobody teaches you this at eighteen. That’s exactly the problem.
