What happens on the Net Zero small business coaching programme?
Below are the stages we’ll work through on the coaching programme. We’ll establish what your Net Zero goals are and work through the changes, helping you to make the leap from good intentions to improved business practices.
You can start with a Net Zero one-off delve to work out what you want to achieve or sign up for a 4 to 10 session programme. The Net Zero one-off delve is free if you sign up for a programme.
Net Zero one-off delve
This delve is a 90 minute coaching conversation based on the first stage of the coaching programme Net Zero: What’s it all about?
In this session you will identify where you are now and what changes you want to achieve to adapt your business for climate change. You’ll then work through the changes on your own.
If you sign up for this session and then decide to carry on with a coaching programme of 4 or more sessions, the cost of this session will be discounted against the cost of the coaching programme.
Net Zero small business coaching programme
1. Net Zero: What’s it all about?
A conversation where you assess what you want to achieve.
- How much do you know about Net Zero?
- What made you decide you want to make Net Zero targeted changes?
- What would be different about your business once you’ve achieved the changes?
2. Net Zero: Wildest dreams
An idea-generating session where you can let your imagination lead the way.
- In your wildest dreams, what could you do?
- What do others do?
- What are all the possibilities you can think of?
- Which possibilities do you want to prioritise?
3. Net Zero: Steps
This is where you do the work!
- We establish where you are now and what the steps are to reach where you want to be.
- You are supported to work through each step, and other steps which appear on the way.
4. Net Zero: Success
At the end of your programme, we can look back at how far you’ve come and the results of all the hard work.
- Recognise what you’ve achieved.
- Reflect on lessons learned along the way.
- Celebrate!
- Consider a new outcome to aim for.
Between the sessions, you’ll get emails from me asking you how you are getting on. A few days before each session I’ll send a reminder, asking you for an update on the action you said you want to take, along with an idea of what you’d like to address next.
“Coaching sessions with Anne were just what I needed to reset the direction for my business. Working through the coaching process with Anne also gave me a much needed boost in my confidence. Anne is extremely patient, approachable and I am so thankful for her help.”

Why should you work towards Net Zero with a coach?
You could work through a process like this on your own, without any help from anyone else. If that’s you, then you’re amazing! Well done! The world and its occupants will thank you for the impacts of your Net Zero focussed business improvements.
However, most of us need a bit of help from our friends when it comes to working through big changes. With a coach on your side:
- you have someone to help you work out what you want,
- to provoke you to consider things you may not have thought of before,
- and for you to be accountable to.
The accountability aspect cannot be underestimated. No coach is going to reprimand you for not doing your homework, but, as many clients have said to me before, ‘it’s not that you’ll punish me if I don’t do it, it’s that I don’t want to let you or myself down.’
However – if you don’t achieve what you said you wanted to there will be a reason for that. I can help you investigate what got in the way and if there are more deep-seated blocks that need to be worked on.
How does the programme work?
Sessions are based on the GROW model. A coaching session every 2 to 3 weeks gives a good opportunity for you to take the actions you’ve committed to. Sessions last for an hour but all is flexible, dependent on your needs. We can discuss and clarify how your programme will work during our initial conversations.
All sessions are by Zoom or similar platform, or over the phone. Face to face sessions can be negotiated if you’d prefer.

Why choose me?
Way back when I was a teenager I turned veggie because I wanted to live more gently in the world. In the late 90s I became an Ecotourism Advisor in The Gambia, facilitating socially- and environmentally-conscious holidays. I did an environmental management degree in my 30s because I wanted to be more informed and work out where my place was in the environmental movement.
After becoming a parent, the environmentalism became more of a personal crusade. I set up my small business, providing virtual assistance, bookkeeping and mailing list support to other small businesses.
In 2019, with the rise of Extinction Rebellion, I got motivated to re-examine my own impact on the world. I wanted to use my skills and business experience for the greater good of combating climate change.
Finally, my personal passion and my business expertise have combined. I trained to be a coach, and now specialise in helping small businesses like yours adapt for Net Zero.
