Schedule Your Helpline Session

A helpline session is a 1-hour video or audio call where we can discuss any roadblocks standing in your way. 

It’s not a miracle but it is a helpful problem-solving pause that’s accessible and just-in-time.

  1. Schedule a call using the calendar below. If a convenient time isn’t available, please email michelle@beasconsulting.com with 3 times that would work for you. 

  2. Use the PAY WHAT’S FAIR schedule to determine a rate. Sessions are pre-paid and non-refundable. 

  3. Check out the steps below to prepare for your session.

If organizations would like to make helpline calls part of a grant proposal or if philanthropic providers would like to offer them as a service to grantees, please send an email to set up a conversation about what that might look like.

Pick Your Time

Each helpline session is a 1-hour call that includes up to 30-minutes to review materials provided at least 24-hours in advance.

Preparing for Your Helpline Session

Ideally fill out the intake form when you book your call. This should not be a barrier. If all you have is an hour. Show up for the hour and we’ll do our best. Our best is good enough.

If you didn’t complete the intake form, take a few seconds to think: 

  1. What is the issue? 

  2. What do I want to accomplish in this hour? 

Find a quiet place even if it means you are on your phone and not on your computer. 

This hour is a good time to drink water.

A pen and paper can be a good tool, especially if you are away from your desk.
