The right option depends on how many people you want to support, the depth of development you want, and the amount of live practice and individual attention required. Named Self-Directed Program enrollments offer flexible individual development. A private organizational Guided Cohort gives a small group a shared schedule, live practice, and coaching. Employer-sponsored Private Coaching provides the highest degree of individual attention. Keynotes, workshops, and intensives provide focused learning for a team, meeting, or event. A consultation can help identify the most appropriate format or combination.

Yes. Organizations may purchase named Self-Directed Program enrollments for selected employees. Each enrollment is personal to one participant and is not a shared or concurrent-use license. The proposal will define the number of enrollments, participant-identification process, activation schedule, access period, pricing, payment terms, and any permitted replacement or reassignment rights.

Yes. A private organizational Guided Cohort brings a small group of colleagues through the established Guided Cohort experience with a shared schedule, live speaking opportunities, direct coaching, and a private group environment. Organizational context, examples, and selected exercises may be aligned with your team while the core Message & Method framework remains intact. A standard private cohort is limited to eight participants unless the proposal states otherwise. Larger groups may require multiple cohorts or a different format.

Yes. An organization may sponsor Private Coaching for one or more employees. Each participant normally has a separately scoped coaching relationship even when several engagements appear in one organizational proposal. Before work begins, the agreement will identify the contracting client, each participant, included services, payment responsibility, and what administrative or progress information may be shared. Sponsorship does not automatically give the organization access to private coaching discussions, assessments, drafts, recordings, or individual feedback.

Organizational engagements may include keynotes, conference sessions, workshops, multi-session programs, or intensives. A keynote introduces a focused idea and shared language to a larger audience. Workshops and intensives allow more time for application, practice, feedback, and revision. Available formats, duration, participant capacity, and included services are determined through the proposal process.

Depending on the selected format, learning objectives, topic emphasis, examples, speaking scenarios, exercises, organizational materials, participation model, schedule, and follow-up may be tailored. Every engagement remains grounded in the Message & Method framework and a defined written scope. Customization makes the work relevant to the organization; it does not automatically include development of an unrelated training program or services beyond the time and fee stated in the proposal.

Capacity depends on the format and the level of participation you want. Named Self-Directed Program enrollments can support any agreed number of employees working independently. A standard private Guided Cohort is limited to eight participants unless the proposal states otherwise. Workshops and intensives are sized according to the amount of discussion, practice, and individual feedback included. Keynotes and conference sessions can accommodate larger audiences but do not provide the same degree of individual participation. The proposal will identify the recommended audience size and participation model.

Yes. Many organizational offerings may be delivered virtually, in person, or through a blended format, depending on the objectives, location, audience size, schedule, and program design. The proposal will identify the delivery method, technology or room requirements, travel-related charges, and responsibilities assigned to the organization.

Potentially, yes. Authorized speeches, presentation decks, templates, recordings, briefs, and representative scenarios can make the work more relevant and practical. Their use must be included in the agreed scope, appropriate for the learning environment, and supported by any necessary permissions. The organization remains responsible for its authority to provide the materials. Do not provide trade secrets, regulated data, protected personal information, or third-party confidential material unless the written agreement and applicable safeguards expressly permit it.

The proposal or agreement will define what attendance, completion, participation, or progress information may be shared with the organizational sponsor. Purchasing an engagement does not automatically give an employer access to private assessments, journal responses, recordings, coaching conversations, drafts, or individual feedback. Sponsor reporting, confidentiality expectations, and any authorized exceptions will be established before participants begin.

Pricing depends on the selected format, participant count, duration, preparation and adaptation, facilitation, individual review, delivery method, travel, materials, administrative requirements, and contractual obligations. After consultation, the organization will receive a written proposal describing the scope, schedule, deliverables, responsibilities, fees, payment terms, and applicable expenses. Any volume or combined-program pricing will be stated in the proposal and is not automatic.

Message & Method can review reasonable organizational requirements involving proposals, purchase orders, invoicing, vendor onboarding, insurance documentation, confidentiality, accessibility, security review, data-processing terms, and contracting. Requirements should be raised early because they may affect feasibility, timing, scope, systems, or price. Participation in a consultation or procurement process does not constitute acceptance of every requested term, platform, security requirement, indemnification obligation, or payment condition.

You will be asked about your organization, intended participants, speaking needs, objectives, preferred timing, location or delivery method, and any procurement requirements. If Message & Method appears to be a suitable fit, Peter will recommend an appropriate format or combination of services. You will then receive a written proposal defining the scope, schedule, participants, materials, deliverables, responsibilities, fees, payment terms, travel, cancellation terms, and any special requirements. No engagement begins until the applicable agreement is accepted and the required payment or deposit is received.
