Kompass Session im Studio: Gespräch am Tisch, im Hintergrund eine Wand mit Notizzetteln

Get clear first. Then decide.

Compass Session

You can tell something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to begin.
The website? Your positioning? The way you talk about your work?

In the Compass Session we take 90 minutes to work through:

> Where are you right now?
> What is the real question behind your enquiry?
> What’s a sensible next step, given the budget and time you really have?

You’ll leave the session with more clarity. Within five working days you’ll usually receive a written summary with insights and a recommendation.

You can take it forward with us – or on your own.

90 minutes · €300 · can also be held online 

Who is the Compass Session for?
The Compass Session is for you if you’re responsible for a project, an organisation, a business or an initiative and aren’t yet sure what the right next step is.

  • you sense that something no longer fits, but can’t quite put your finger on it.
  • you have a project in mind and aren’t sure where to start.
  • you’d like to get to know us before taking on a bigger project together.
  • you’re facing a decision and could use an outside view.
What’s the difference between the intro call and the Compass Session?
The intro call is a free, 30-minute chance to get to know each other: we listen and suggest a next step. In the Compass Session we spend 90 minutes working on your situation together. Afterwards you get a written summary.
Do I need to prepare?
What we need from you: your time and your knowledge of your own work. You’re the expert on your cause; we guide the conversation. No preparation needed.
What actually happens in a session?
We take 90 minutes – online or with us in Bad Tölz. We start by listening and asking questions: Where are you now? What’s on your mind? What matters to you? Together we work out what needs tackling first. That gives us a shared understanding to build on. You get to know us and how we work without committing to a big project.
 
What will I come away with?
After the session you’ll have a clearer picture of your goal and know what really belongs in the project – and what doesn’t. You’ll have a solid basis for quotes and decisions. That lowers the risk of your project spiralling or your budget going in the wrong direction.

You get a concise summary in three parts:

  • Insights: what we discovered together.
  • Recommendation: the next step that makes sense for you.
  • Next steps: what needs to happen next – with us or on your own.
 
Whether you carry on with us or on your own is entirely up to you.
Is the session fee credited, and do I have to keep working with you?
If you carry on working with us, we’ll look together at whether and how to credit the Compass Session. For larger projects we usually do. What happens next is up to you: you can hire us to implement it, take the results forward yourself or work with another partner. If you need more clarity, we can continue with a strategy or creative session as needed. Often the next step is positioning: together we work out what your work stands for, who it should reach and what sets it apart.
The summary is yours to keep, even if you decide not to work with us. A decision you could only make with us wouldn’t be a good one.
Online or in person, alone or with your team?
Either works. We can meet online or at our place in Bad Tölz – whatever suits you best. Come on your own or bring people from your team. Just let us know and we’ll work out what makes sense.

Let’s talk.

Tell us what you’re working on and what you’d like to change. In the intro call we listen first, then see together whether we’re a good fit and what a sensible next step would be. 30 minutes, free, no strings attached.

After booking, we’ll send you a few questions to help you prepare (about 10 minutes). That way we can spend the half hour talking, not covering the basics
