Dolphin Pod - Business Mentoring
Leveraging my business and corporate background, I have been working with individuals within the wellbeing industry to build, focus and inspire their businesses to become something incredible. Working with only seven people per Pod, I give a lot of time to each of my mentees.
I call it a Dolphin Pod so that they work together as a team and a family. Complimenting and inspiring each other to keep growing and developing.
The below framework explains the structure and the cost for the 6 month programme. If you are interested in applying for the next Pod intake please read the below and download the form to apply. Next deadline for applications will be 30th November ready for the intake to start in December 2019! Email your completed application form to hello@shakeupfit.com to be considered.

Month 1 - FOUNDATIONS
This first month is an establishment of where you are and what has bought you here. In this time we will have a long first session where we will discuss what you have gotten most stuck with, what you think you'd like to get out of a mentorship and creating the first basic tools for setting that in motion. The longer sessions will be done in person ideally or via video chat, the shorter 30 minute check ins will be done as phone calls. Every meeting will have minutes and action points for you to consider and work on.
Months 2 - 6 - £200 per month
Session 1 - 1 hour session
Session 2 - 30 minute check in
Session 3 - 45 minute check in
Session 4 - 30 minute check in
Month 2 - 6
After the first month sessions will have a lot more involvement with moving the business forward. You will have a different focus each month from approaching more people to collaborating across your Pod with those that may be able to help you further. Every stage will be a two way street with feedback expected and actively encouraged.

And a few testimonials......
"Rejuvenating! It felt amazing to just open up about my ways of thinking and it felt like you (mel) had seen my life from my prospective and knew what direction I was working towards. It was also nice to have the time to share more about our personal goals, after having a handful of meetings in the past in different communities. Having time to wander, eat and think was a great way to find more clarity in what we were working on together."
"Mentoring with Mel has been the epitome of what bespoke sessions can be like. What seems like a highly adaptable mentoring structure and most importantly, a sharply present mentor has really opened my eyes in what a great difference it has made in facilitating the pursuit of my vision. What I was able to gain from the mentoring is discipline through guidance, in giving my dreams an investment. Not to mention, along the company of many others who are in the same boat."
"Never did I think that my business could grow in the way it has done in such a short time. It has blown me away, but it feels perfectly normal at the same time. This business pod has by far been the best decision I've ever made for my business, but also for me personally. Thank you Mel!"
Mel's creativity and quick thinking is both supportive and inspiring for me as a self-employed business woman. He offers creative problem solving and introduces doable tasks that makes a big difference in how I approach my work and the time spent on it. This is great help for anybody who wishes to categorise their work hours better, improve efficiency and to think outside the box. His personal investment in you is also very touching and motivating, making this more than just a "business" mentorship. I highly recommend this programme!
