FAQs

As a whole we usually don't have long term contracts, as we offer a flexible service to meet your needs. The most we usually ask is that you try us for at least three sessions.

As each package is tailored for you, you can see, speak and contact your mentor as often as you like. From our experience, monthly sessions work best; however, it is a personal choice.

You can talk about anything that you choose, so long as it is legal. Most commonly we talk about your plans, goals and dreams and how we can help you achieve success.

We have found from experience that 90-minute to 2-hour sessions are just perfect for settling into a growth mindset and achieving those 'light bulb' moments, most commonly on a monthly basis. But we are open enough to work at your pace.

Some of our solutions like our Virtual Mentoring, offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, although we also offer a no-divorce-clause initial 30-minute discovery call to see if we can work together.

99% of our clients pay electronically by BACS, we also accept, Direct Debit, Paypal & Credit Card and of course Cash.

All our conversations are confidential and will not be repeated outside of the mentor relationship. We do have contracts and Non Disclosure Agreements should you wish to sign one.

Mentoring is a personal relationship, everyone gets something different from their experience. But you will get a record of the mentoring session along with any agreed tasks to keep you on track.

If you are still not sure, make a booking that suits you best, and we'll include a complimentary 30-minute taster session. Remember, choose a mentor or coach with whom you feel you can work effectively. Mentoring and coaching are personal relationships.

I work with established businesses and charities across the UK, typically led by Directors, CEOs, or Founders looking to grow, stabilise, or innovate. Most clients have teams in place and want an external perspective to improve leadership, performance, and governance.

Coaching focuses on developing you as a leader and decision-maker, while board advisory and non-executive roles focus on strengthening the business strategy, structure, and governance. Many clients use both for balanced growth and oversight.

Clients usually notice a real shift in focus, confidence, and clarity within the first 4–8 weeks. Tangible results — such as improved profitability, smoother operations, or stronger team alignment — often follow within three to six months.

Business coaching starts at £500 per month, and board advisory or non-executive director support starts from £750 per month, depending on scope and complexity. Everything is transparent and agreed upfront — no surprises.

Simple — book a free discovery call or send a quick message via bradex.co.uk/contact. From there, we’ll define your goals, choose the right support plan, and get your first session booked.

Coaching runs every month and includes a two-hour focused session, a written report with clear action points, and ongoing support via WhatsApp. It’s a blend of accountability, strategy, and problem-solving — designed to keep you and your business moving forward.

I’ve worked across finance, tech, property, professional services, manufacturing, and the charity sector. The common thread is helping leaders make better strategic decisions, strengthen governance, and drive sustainable results.

Yes — I offer a 30-minute discovery call to discuss your goals, challenges, and where I can add the most value. It’s completely free and obligation-free.

Most sessions are held via Zoom, supported by digital reports, shared workspaces, and WhatsApp for easy contact between meetings. I also meet in person where possible — especially for board or strategic sessions.

If you are still not sure, make a booking that suits you best, and we'll include a complimentary 30-minute taster session. Remember, choose a mentor or coach with whom you feel you can work effectively. Mentoring and coaching are personal relationships.

Every engagement starts with a deep dive: your ambitions, obstacles, metrics, team and context. Then I craft a bespoke plan (strategy, governance, growth, leadership) and we revisit it monthly to adjust. This means you’re not getting a “one-size-fits-all” package — you’re getting what you need.

Yes — absolutely. Many clients start with a monthly coaching subscription, then bring in board advisory or non-executive support as they scale. The key is clarifying roles (you lead, I advise; or you lead, I chair) and documenting scope accordingly to preserve governance clarity.

All engagements are governed by a signed agreement (scope, confidentiality, and role). I don’t take conflicting clients in the same sector. If I foresee any potential conflict of interest, I raise it immediately and we determine a path (recusal, alternate advisor, etc).

You can expect: clearer focus, better decisions, stronger leadership, improved governance, more disciplined growth or smoother exit. Early signs often show in 1–3 months (decisions made, priorities shifted). Tangible outcomes (e.g., new clients, streamlined operations) often appear in 6–12 months. As with most initiatives, faster if you commit.

Typically, coaching begins with a 3-month commitment to allow enough time for momentum. Non-executive or advisory roles are agreed upfront for a period (e.g., 6–12 months) or project-based. You’ll find the terms transparent in the engagement document. If you need to pause or terminate, we’ll discuss the implications on scope and deliverables.

You’ll have direct access via WhatsApp to raise urgent questions, share progress or flag concerns. I aim to respond swiftly (within business hours) so you keep the momentum. Think of it as “on‐call strategy + accountability”, not just a chat.
Note: the channel is for business-related matters, not midnight rants about your coffee machine.

That’s expected and normal. If your focus shifts (e.g., from growth to acquisition, or from stability to restructure), we review the written report together, redefine new action points, and realign the support. Flexibility is built in — the goal is results, not rigidity.

• Coach: You want to develop yourself (leadership, mindset, habits)

• Mentor: You want an experienced business person to share insights, connections, and challenge your thinking

• Non-executive director/board advisor: You need governance, oversight, boardroom input and independent challenge.

We’ll diagnose your need in the free discovery call and define the right mix.

Yes — in fact, I have chartered experience in the charity sector and governance. For NGOs, I bring board advisory, strategy, governance and funding/impact insight (not just commercial growth). The language is different (impact rather than profit), but the rigour is the same.

We set at least 3–5 key performance indicators at our first session (could be revenue growth %, leadership engagement, governance score, team turnover reduced, etc). Each monthly report tracks those KPIs, plus qualitative progress (actions taken, barriers removed). Your written monthly report becomes a living artefact of growth, and we review it together to keep you accountable.
