Staying curious, asking questions, and being actively engaged in solving the core challenges together are crucial for a successful session. These sessions are interactive in that I'm not going to tell you what to do. However, we're going to figure out the plan together. Please note mentoring may also include auditing and coaching to help you move forward.
The mentoring clients who had the most success from our time together are the ones who are proactive before, during, and after the sessions. They show up prepared, take their own notes, proactively add to their Engagement Plan (Google Docs), and go above and beyond to complete the agreed actions from the sessions.
During 3 hours of mentoring, we can expect to work on one specific area of your business to build an aligned, strategic plan for it. This is typically the area of your business that may be holding you back from moving forward the most. If you require more support across other areas of business, we can chat further about working together after your Digital Mentoring program is completed.
If you have a question that hasn't been answered in the FAQs, get in touch for further information or clarification.

Whilst every mentor in the Digital Solutions Program will have a different approach, your mentoring sessions with me (Jo) will feel intuitive, strategic, in-depth and practical.
My intention is that you leave each session feeling understood and empowered with the right tools, strategy and next action steps to make high-impact changes in your business.
I personalise each session for you and where you are in your business so you can feel fully supported. At the end of your mentoring session, you will receive access to a collaborative Google Document with recorded notes, prompts and action steps from our time together.
I specialise in the areas of branding, brand strategy, brand identity, packaging design, offering and product design. I can also help with website design and marketing.
The areas that are not in my wheelhouse are brand naming, Google, Facebook and Instagram ads, copywriting, Google analytics and SEO.
Mentoring support happens exclusively during the 3 mentoring sessions and does not include email support outside these times.
Have a Q about your mentoring sessions? Get in touch with me here.
I've spent 15+ years shaping product-based brands across design, product development, packaging, and trade marketing.
I moved from working for global FMCG giants like Unilever and Twinings to serving only conscious cult faves like Loving Earth, Hanami, and Baresop.
After helping launch hundreds of products from concept to shelf, I've developed a knack for building brands that make investors, retailers, and customers say ✷YES!✷.
My experience has shaped my approach to design, a place where intuition and strategy collide.
Think: functional, warm, humanist design that intentionally connects with your customer at every level in your brand world.
