FAQ
1:1 Coaching
What is coaching?
Google it.
Now that’s sorted, get a load of this: Sera has a Graduate Certificate of Applied Coaching, NLP Master Practitioner Certification and is professionally certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) - bounding her to the Ethics, Standards and Code of Conduct as listed on the ICF website.
What’s your approach?
A delightful mix of evidence based coaching techniques and NLP.
What is evidence based coaching?
An evidence based coaching approach is grounded in proven science, much like clinical psychology or counselling, and draws from empirical research, theoretical knowledge and coaching standards and best practices. Neat, huh?
What is Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)?
NLP is intended to help people communicate more effectively, learn faster and achieve a higher quality of life. It’s essentially a smorgasbord of thinking and communicating strategies. Pretty delicious; when you think about it.
How do I get the most from coaching?
Pre-session
It’s best for everyone that you maximise your session times! Start by arriving on time and rearing to go, complete any ‘homework’ in-between sessions and be honest and forthright in our chats. Don’t waste any time starting a sentence with ‘don’t judge me…’ its a judgement free zone baby! Be open to receive, accept and act on feedback following our sessions- put your money where your mouth is people.
Overall
Sera can’t want change for you more than you genuinely want it for yourself.
She is rooting for you, she’s willing to shake shit up and she wants you to succeed baby! But if you (kinda secretly like) complaining and staying stuck, then this is going to be a no dice partnership long-term.
How do we meet?
Zoom. You will receive the link when you book! Sydney-siders, keep your eyes peeled for pop-up events or IRL coaching sessions.
How do I pay?
You can book and pay via the same link. Boom!
What if I need to cancel a session?
If you provide less than 24 hours notice, or worse, ghost, your session will be charged in full. It's called knowing your worth, people.
Contact
New clients
If you have any general questions you can hit us up through the contact page, or Instagram DM. It might take 24-48 hours to get back to ya but we promise to never leave you on read.
Sideswipers
Your signed 1:1 formalised coaching agreement will stipulate the rules about contact in between sessions. But in short…
"Am I available for (seriously legit) emergencies? Yes.
Am I here to celebrate your wins? In-session, always!
Am I available to analyse you ‘you up?’ texts in real time after midnight? Abso-fucking-lutely not."

The Profile Makeover
How will I receive my feedback?
The time slot you book is when we will sit down and round-table over your profile. You don’t have to show up or do a thing!
Following your slot, your profile feedback will be sweetly and discretely delivered to your inbox, within 1-2 days, through an informative PDF you can digest and enact.
Creative shout-out!
Your branding is hot! Who did ya site + graphics?
”I know right!? I thought you’d never ask! Identifying as “fun, witty cheeky and playful!” is one thing. Visually executing on it is another. Turns out the exact answer lay in my Insta feed - I started following @mollywellington__ a few years back when her work was profiled on the @thedesignkids- it was super early days and there wasn’t much on her grid- but even still it was getting serious eyeballs! And luckily, mine included.
Molly didn’t just get the brief, she absolutely smashed it. Working with her has been a pleasure. She doubles not only as an amazing designer (the parts you can see!) but as your MATE, your best cheerleader, an amazing copywriter (even though she denies it...) and someone who can both match your ALL CAPs LETTERs enthusiasm while also bringing a sweet sense of ease and calm to your project.
Cannot rate her highly enough, or thank her enough. Imagine handing over a newborn, nervously, and getting back (in record time) this fully-fledged incredibly sassy adult who was raised to perfection. That’s what working with Molly is like. She brought sideswiped.club to life! Follow and support so you can be a smug client like me- run don’t walk!
Sera
Your words really hit home. Who did ya copy?
“I am a writer… However copywriting requires a completely different set of skills and a bitta distance when it’s too close to home! I enlisted the help of the absolute experts, Willow & Blake, whose folio and tone of voice I have been coveting for years. They are the bee’s knees, and I wouldn’t have put Sideswiped in the hands of anyone else. From soup to nuts, the entire creative process was a delight! When the final delivery arrived in my inbox, I couldn’t stop clapping, tipping my hat, and most importantly, marvelling that Sideswiped sound more like me, than I did! It was a total blast to work with W&B and their team.”
