How can I work with Jet?
You can explore one-off sessions, retainer-based engagements, or values-based programs. Start by visiting the Work With Jet page or get in touch via the Contact form to find the right fit.

How much does it cost to work with Jet?
Pricing varies depending on the type of engagement — from one-off mentoring sessions to longer-term advisory or consulting work. Jet offers tailored proposals to suit each client’s needs and is always happy to talk through what’s possible based on your goals and budget.

Do you work with individuals or only organisations?
Both. Jet works with individuals, communities, and companies — because values don’t live in silos. Whether you’re a founder, a parent, a people leader or someone at a crossroads, we can find an entry point that supports you.

What’s the difference between coaching and mentoring?
Mentoring is often about guidance drawn from lived experience — a steady hand as you navigate change. Coaching focuses on helping you find your own answers through reflection, alignment, and accountability. Jet blends both, depending on your needs.
