The Corner · worksheet · 1 of 2
Pre-session preparation
One decision,
written down.
Twenty to thirty minutes in your own time, before we agree a date. This is the part that decides whether the session is worth what you paid for it.
Two rules
Blanks are fine. An unanswered question tells us something too — often the most useful thing on the page.
Please do not send documents. No contracts, tax returns, immigration papers or case numbers — your attorney is the right place for those.
01 · The decision
One sentence, ending in a question mark · “Should I…”
If it takes two sentences it is probably two decisions — pick the one with the nearest deadline.
02 · The clock
What date forces this, and who set it?
Date · who set it · what happens if it passes
03 · The options
What are you choosing between? Two or three, no more.
Option A · option B · option C
04 · What you know, and what you are assuming
Where most sessions find the real problem
Seen myself
Fact
Documents read · numbers checked
Taking on trust
Assumption
Someone told me · I read somewhere · I expect
05 · The numbers, if there are any
Rough is fine · “I don’t know” is a real answer

Advice · timing
07 · If you do nothing
Walking away is always an option, and the one people forget to price. What does it actually cost you?
08 · What would make this easy
Finish the sentence: “If I only knew ______, this would be obvious.” Most sessions turn out to be about this answer rather than box 01.
Times that work for you
Two or three windows, with your time zone
What happens when you send this back
01
We read it properly
A person, not a form. Usually the same day.
02
We name the real decision
Sometimes it is not the one in box 01, and we say so before the session.
03
Then we agree a time
Within one business day of receiving this.
Wrong room If this worksheet shows The Corner is not for you, we say so and refund in full — no processing fee deducted — before any time is held.
