One issue. One hour. A clear plan.
Got one HR headache keeping you up at night? Let’s fix it in an hour.
A straight-talking hour with an HR expert who has sorted hundreds of these. No monthly contract, no jargon, no faff. You will walk away knowing exactly what to do next, with a written action plan to prove it. Kettle on.
Book your Power HourJust £150 plus VAT. Leave with a clear plan or your money back. And if you join one of my support plans within 30 days, your £150 comes off it.
I only take a handful of Power Hours each week, so they do tend to book up.

Your hour is with Kate. Not a call centre, not a junior.

Picture this. It is 11pm, you are on your third cup of tea, and you are googling “can I dismiss someone for…” for the fourth time this week. One tricky person situation has taken over your brain and it will not budge. Maybe it is a difficult conversation you keep putting off. Maybe someone is off sick and you are not sure what you are even allowed to ask. Maybe a grievance has landed on your desk, or a redundancy is coming and you are terrified of getting it wrong. You do not have an HR team down the corridor, and you are not ready to sign up to anything monthly. You just need someone who has seen it a hundred times to tell you, honestly and in plain English, where you stand and what to do next. That is exactly what a Power Hour is for.
So here is what we do about it
A Power Hour is one focused, no-nonsense hour with me, Kate. Over 28 years in HR, hundreds of businesses sorted, and absolutely no interest in baffling you with jargon. You tell me the one thing that is on your mind, send a few details over beforehand so we do not waste a second, and we get stuck in. I will give you an honest read on where you stand, flag anything risky, and map out clear, practical next steps you can actually use.
Afterwards you get your Power Hour Action Plan in writing, so nothing gets lost the moment we hang up.
No contract. No hard sell. Just clarity, for a fixed £150 plus VAT. And here is the lovely bit: if you decide you would like ongoing support, I will credit that £150 against setting up any of my HR plans within 30 days. So getting expert eyes on your problem could end up costing you nothing at all.
A Power Hour is made for you if…
- You have got one specific people problem, not a whole HR department to build
- You want an honest steer before you act, not a sales pitch
- You would rather ask an expert than gamble on a Google answer at midnight
- You are not ready for a monthly plan, and that is absolutely fine
- You want it sorted this week, not “sometime”

Recap
Your written Power Hour Action Plan, same day.
What a Power Hour is, and is not, for
Power Hour is built for one thing: fast, expert clarity on a single issue. It is perfect when you know what the problem is and just need to know how to handle it well. It is honest advice and clear direction, not a stand-in for ongoing support or legal representation. Here is where it shines, and where something else will serve you better.
Spot on for
- A difficult conversation you are dreading
- A grievance, disciplinary or sickness issue that has just landed
- A redundancy or restructure you want to get right
- Sense-checking a decision before you act
- A second opinion on a specific policy or process
- A new manager or owner who wants a confident steer
Best saved for another day
- More than one issue at once. One topic per session, so we go deep. Book another for a separate issue.
- Formal legal advice. This is practical HR guidance. Legal rulings sit with the solicitor line on my plans.
- Drafting documents, letters or policies. Those are quoted separately, so you only pay for what you need.
- Ongoing casework, hearings or investigations. Those deserve proper, scoped support, not a single hour.
- Live tribunal claims or complex investigations. If you need more, I will tell you honestly and point you the right way.
