Ask-Me-Anything consultancy<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Well, OK … not <\/span>anything<\/span><\/em>. If you want relationship advice, I’m <\/span>not<\/span> your man.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see from my <\/span>unconventional career<\/a>, however, I’ve worked in lots of different roles in my two decades as an informal educator – both within organisations as well as training and advising them from the outside. For example, I’ve served as one of the EPSRC’s public engagement mentors advising many large-scale PE projects which engaged people in STEM across the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, whether you have specific questions about how to work with a shy volunteer onstage or you want to discuss more widely how to run an educational business which meets both its mission and profit goals, I will do my best to help you in these virtual, 1-on-1 sessions. It’s your call to lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples of consultancy scenarios<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To make this support more concrete, here are some other scenarios where this support might be helpful. However, these are suggested only for illustration, not to constrain you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul has been an amazing source of inspiration and expertise to us here at science made simple. We have worked with him on fine-tuning some aspects of our new shows and in the continuing professional development of our presenters. His feedback is always positive and constructive and comes form a position of many years experience learning his craft in the field and through his academic study of the subject area. He is a pleasure to work with and truly passionate about what he does<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How much it costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I’m aware that in many education sectors there is barely enough money to fund group training, let alone pay for individual consultancy. As you can see from the topics listed above, this personalised support is more likely to be viable when the outcome of the support can be directly linked to a funded or commercial project.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a guide, the cost of a 30-minute coaching call is \u00a350 (+VAT) and a 60-minute session costs \u00a395 (+VAT). I will invoice you after the call and you can pay by card online or by bank transfer. If your organisation requires a purchase order to be drawn up first, I can send you a quotation to facilitate this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Money-back guarantee – if you are unsatisfied with the consultancy session for any reason, I will listen to your concerns and try to learn from them. You won’t be invoiced for the call – it’s not in my long-term interest to have a disgruntled client.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Paul worked with us on all stages of our project, from the initial design and fund-raising activities through to training and delivery.At all stages his contribution was invaluable, and he was always readily available to consult and freely offered us his wealth of experience. He was full of good ideas but he also knew when to step back and let us run with our own ideas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
