ONE:ONE CONVERSATION
Grow with me
Ongoing mentorship and individual advisory support for something you're working through, working toward, or trying to become.
Who it's for
For people who would benefit from more than a single conversation: recurring space to think, reflect, make decisions, follow through, and have someone who gets to know the context over time.
Each month includes up to two private 60-minute sessions, booked according to availability, for the duration of the engagement.
Not sure whether ongoing support is right for you? Start with a Think with me session. We can use that conversation to explore what you need and whether a longer engagement would be useful.

Between-session notes
You may send Laura a short update or question between sessions. Where useful, she'll use it to inform your next conversation; this is not an on-demand messaging or response service.
What this is, and isn't
UPWARD Growth is mentoring, reflective conversation and individual advisory support. Laura offers observations, questions, ideas and recommendations; decisions and actions remain yours to own. Note: this is not medical, psychological, legal, financial or other regulated professional advice.
Terms
Who you're contracting with
Grow with me is provided by UPWARD (Laura Smith), based in Finland. Contact: contact@workupward.com.
What's included
A fixed-term mentoring and individual advisory engagement of 3, 6 or 12 months. Each month includes up to two private 60-minute sessions, booked through the calendar and subject to availability, plus reasonable administrative communication. You may send a short update or question between sessions; where useful it will inform your next conversation. Ongoing or on-demand advice by email or messaging is not included unless separately agreed.
Nature of the service
Grow provides mentoring, reflective conversation and individual advisory support. Laura may offer observations, questions, ideas and recommendations; decisions and actions remain yours. It is not medical, psychological, legal, financial or other regulated professional advice.
Prices and payment
All prices include Finnish VAT at 25.5%. You may pay the whole engagement upfront, in monthly instalments (5% more than the corresponding upfront price), or by invoice where agreed. Monthly instalments are a way of paying for a fixed-term engagement; they do not make it a month-to-month subscription.
Sessions and expiry
Sessions are subject to availability. A session may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice; changes inside 24 hours and missed sessions normally count as that month's session. Unused sessions do not roll over and have no cash value — except where a session cannot take place because Laura needs to reschedule it, in which case it stays available.
Late or failed payments
If a payment fails or an invoice passes its due date, you'll be asked to settle it and new sessions are paused in the meantime. If payment remains outstanding for 14 days, the engagement may be suspended, and after written notice and a reasonable opportunity to resolve it, ended. A failed payment is not treated as you having ended the agreement.
Ending early
Grow is a fixed-term commitment. If you want to end it early, please give 30 days' written notice. Remaining instalments are not automatically charged as a penalty. Where early termination is accepted, the months already provided are recalculated at the shortest Grow rate (the 3-month rate) rather than the longer-term discounted rate, and any prepaid amount remaining after that adjustment is refunded. Laura may waive or reduce this adjustment, particularly in serious unexpected circumstances.
If Laura ends the engagement
Laura may end an engagement if she becomes unable to provide the service, believes she can no longer provide useful or appropriate support, or reasonably believes continuing is not in either party's interests. Where this is not caused by a serious breach on your side, future instalments stop, prepaid fees for future unused months are refunded, and your discounted rate for months already completed is not withdrawn.
Serious breach
Either of us may end the engagement immediately where continuing would be inappropriate — harassment, threatening or abusive behaviour, serious boundary violations, dishonesty, unlawful conduct connected with the engagement, or another material breach. Any financial settlement then reflects the services already provided and amounts properly due.
Fit
Grow depends on trust, candour and a productive working relationship. Either of us can raise concerns about fit or usefulness at any point, and where reasonable we'll first look at whether changing the approach, expectations or cadence would help.
Your consumer rights
If you are buying as a consumer, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for services bought online. If you ask for sessions to begin during that period, and you then withdraw, you pay a proportionate amount for what has already been provided. Nothing above limits or replaces the rights you have under Finnish and EU consumer law.
