PREMIER

Individual attention.
 
Personalised support.
 
Targeted Feedback. 

The tailored version of the Design Accelerator. A small group of clients, with the time and space for your work specifically.

Premier is for coaches who prefer individual attention.

It's for you if you've been around yourself long enough to know how you actually finish things. Not in big open courses. Not on your own. In smaller rooms, with personalised feedback on your actual work, where someone knows what you're building and can support you through the process.

It's for you if the standard Design Accelerator looks right, but you want more airtime, more feedback, more access. The version where the support your receive is more customised and personal.

Some Premier members are coaches who've been in practice for fifteen years. Others are five years in and want this build done properly the first time. A few are coming back to coaching after a break, or stepping up after a career change. The thread isn't seniority. It's self-knowledge about how you work best.

It is not for you if:
→  You haven’t yet worked with paying clients. Premier assumes a 1:1 practice        you’re ready to build a group program from.
→  You want it done for you. Premier is hands-on — you build the program, with       support.
→ You finish things easily on your own and don’t need a small room. Founders       is a better fit for you.

What's different from the standard program

Premier is the personlised version of the Design Accelerator program, with a closed cohort of maximum fifteen including one-to-ones sessions, an MVP review, and a weekly 15-minute WhatsApp catch-up with me.

Below — the differences side by side.

How we work together

Wednesday evenings — your weekly group 
Wednesdays at 7pm Dubai time. Ninety minutes. Eight weeks.

Fifteen coaches in one room. Open coaching, not step-themed teaching — bring whatever you're working on. Smaller than the main program group, which means more airtime for your work and faster pattern-recognition across the cohort. Recordings available within 24 hours.
 

Two one-to-one sessions with me 
For the decisions that need closer attention.

Two 60-minute sessions to use whenever they're most useful — typically at decision points where the group format is too public for the question you actually want to ask. 

Your MVP Design Review 
A close set of eyes on your design before you commit to it. 

A written review of your program design — methodology, MVP scope, transformation promise, pricing — followed by a 30-minute call. Most useful after Step 3, when your design is in place but before you start building. 

Your weekly WhatsApp catch-up 15 minutes. 
Every week. Live. 

A scheduled 15-minute WhatsApp window with me each week — voice notes both ways, live. We agree the slot in your first 1:1, and it's the same time every week so you can build it into your rhythm. Send me whatever you've been turning over: a decision, a stuck point, a piece of work you want eyes on. I respond with my real thinking. Some weeks you'll have nothing for me. That's the point — the slot is for the substantive thinking, not the noise. Anything urgent that comes up between slots goes into your two 1:1 sessions. 

The Premier-only community 
A separate room — smaller, more direct. 

A smaller, more private community space than the main program — fifteen coaches working in parallel, with closer relationships across the cohort. Post your work-in-progress here when you want eyes on something but it isn't quite ready for the wider Accelerator community. 

About Paula 

Paula has spent two decades designing leadership and capability programs for global organisations across entertainment, finance, and defence — programs that had to land with sceptical audiences and survive serious budget review.

 After moving into one-to-one coaching and building a fully-booked practice, she found herself answering the same question for client after client: how do I take what I do and turn it into something I can deliver to a group?

 The Design Accelerator is the answer she'd been giving privately for years, finally written down. Premier is the room where she works with coaches the way the work is best done — small, direct, hands-on.
Based in Dubai. Sessions run on Dubai time. Her own coaching practice is health-led — designing programs that deliver has been part of how she's worked her whole career.

Investment

 $5,000 USD
full pay only

Premier is priced for what it is — a small, hands-on cohort with personalised support across eight weeks. The fee reflects the size of the room (fifteen places only), the depth of access (your weekly WhatsApp slot, your two 1:1 sessions, your MVP Design Review), and the time it takes to do this well.
 
If $5,000 is the right level of investment for where you are, you're probably already nodding. If it isn't, Founders or Growth is the better starting point — and I'll tell you so on the discovery call.

How to apply

Premier doesn't have a buy-now button. With fifteen places, it's worth a conversation first — to make sure it's the right room for what you're building, and to make sure I have what you need.

Three steps

1.  Book a Premier discovery call. Thirty minutes. We'll talk through your practice, your design,            and whether Premier or Founders is the right room.
 
2.  If we both think it's a fit, you'll receive an enrolment link. Full pay, $5,000.

3.  You're in Premier. A welcome guide and your Wednesday evening calendar invites land within        24 hours.
