There's no time limit to the conversation (apart from diary constraints).  Meetings typically last between one and two hours. In order to generate momentum and maintain continuity regular contact is strongly recommended.

Perhaps we'll meet over coffee. Somewhere quiet. One thing: these conversations are better when they take place outside the work environment so we'll agree on a place to meet that is quiet and comfortable and we'll switch off our 'phones.

Everything we discuss will be kept entirely confidential enabling you to be as open as you feel able. My expectation is that we will very quickly develop a level of trust that allows our conversations to be completely open. 

There's no charge for the first conversation. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and decide if we can work effectively together. If we get on well and you want to put another meeting in the diary, we'll talk business.
