Get my complete attention, guidance and support in a single session format - look forward to a blend of impactful advice, deep reflection, and active demonstration. You'll be amazed at what we can accomplish in just 60 minutes!
IN THE FIRST ITERATION OF CLEAR QUARTZ CREATIVE, I DESIGNED BRANDS & WEBSITES FOR ENTREPRENEURS WITH NICHES LIKE WEDDING FLORISTS, LACTATION CONSULTANTS, AND SOMATIC THERAPISTS.
During this time, two concerns came up on almost all of my sales calls...
1) I’m worried that the site won’t reflect the core of who I am (alignment).
2) I still want to be involved in the process and give my ideas to shape the result (choice and personal power).
I had one answer that solved both of these issues: collaborative work. I called the concept Live Edit Calls, and though I was essentially still delivering a product, working together in real-time with my clients is what set me apart from agencies and my freelance web designer competition.
During the first year of offering this service, I spent most of my call minutes updating and re-writing websites. Then, it evolved to include other practical tasks, holistic and comprehensive conversations, and strategizing sessions to help build clients' personal Business Binders™️, so I rebranded to Action Calls while continuing to work with my wellness and creative clientele.
The way clients responded to these calls showed me that the way I work with clients 1:1 is different…
It’s not quite coaching, because we don’t talk and explore the whole hour.
It’s not quite consulting, because I don’t spend the session planning out a strategy and giving you a long homework list.
It’s not quite virtual assistant work, because you’re building your own skills by watching, experiencing, and asking questions.
And it’s not quite done for you services, because you’re present and engaged in what we’re doing.
Our work together can best be described as taking aligned action, which feels like having a coworker, expert, mentor, teacher, and a Chantelle-GPT (my client’s words, not mine) all in one.
THE FOUR MAIN PATHWAYS TO COLLABORATIVE SKILL-BUILDING PRACTICED ON AN ACTION CALL
introspection
Gently talking through mental blocks and difficult emotions while looking inwards can help you figure out where you’re going - quote unquote - ‘wrong’ so you know how to move forward.
As I’m listening to your experience, I’m working to pinpoint the piece that can bring you peace.
Or as my friend Ash says, “I appreciate how you identify EXACTLY what’s holding up your client’s decision-making ability and offer a painless, matter of fact solution that pulled me out of the merry go round of stagnation and struggle with my business evolution for months.”
guidance
Talking it through when you don’t know what to do is a faster way to find a solution than continuing to mull over it alone.
There are times in an entrepreneur’s journey where you can move much faster with advice based on your situation. I offer guidance based on where you’re at and where you’re going, because it holds more power than generic how-to advice you can find anywhere on the Internet.
Other times, what you need to move forward is wisdom and feedback. A Substack I’m subscribed to puts it this way: “Getting ... exact, deep, and demanding feedback is invaluable if you want to figure out what your limitations are, what you need to work on, and what your potential is.” - Henrik Karlsson and Johanna Wiberg
demonstration
By watching and engaging with me as I demonstrate a skill, you can learn not just the technical aspects of a task, but also the attitude, mindset, and approach I recommend.
Rarely does an Action Call go by where I’m not logged in as you somewhere - think Mailchimp, Descript, Squarespace, Canva, Dubsado, JaneApp etc. My familiarity with tools, strategies, systems, and platforms means that I can navigate quickly and troubleshoot to get you past the problem-solving stage.
Demonstrating is a way for visual learners to see solutions in action rather than just hearing instructions, and it also works well as a confidence boost. Seeing a process or technique in a real-world setting shows you what’s achievable and even better, exactly how to achieve it later yourself.
implementation
The solo part of solo entrepreneurship can get tiresome and feel isolating - but that’s where implementation comes in.
I can’t tell you how much easier it is to work on a task together such as design, copy or content writing, but I can show you on an Action Call. Most Action Call clients save up the tasks they've been avoiding and bring them to our session so we can work through them as a team with the help of what's inside your Business Binder™️.
Get the emotional support, encouragement, and motivation you’d otherwise only experience if you had coworker who doubles as your bestie. My promise to you is that we can work 2-3x faster together than you could accomplish alone, plus, it’s more fun!
what it looks like to have true support in your business
“Working with Chantelle makes me feel heard and listened to. She thinks of everything! I love her openness to hearing all my ideas and how she helps me prioritize them. I book Action Calls to keep my website up to date, and everyone is commenting how professional the site looks - I think it gives me extra credibility as being legit. Also I love that I don’t have to write everything by myself - an Action Call is like working with Chantelle-GPT. Investing in her is worth every penny!”

THE ACTION CALL PROCESS
what our time together will look like
BEFORE
While not necessary, preparing a short list may make our session more effective.
Consider including...
- introspection topics such as mindset blocks or challenging emotions
- specific questions or areas where you're seeking guidance
- tools, strategies, systems, platforms, etc that you'd like me to demonstrate
- to-do items we can tackle together and implement on the call
DURING
We’ll meet on Zoom for 60 minutes (though I’ve been known to extend sessions with a bonus 15min because I love what I do!)
Whether you’ve sent your notes ahead of the call or arrive with them in hand, we’ll start by addressing what is most important to you, making it as far through the list as we can while being thorough and attentive to your needs.
I’ll share my screen and actively work with you - logging into whichever tools we’re using, typing into a doc you can see, or showing you examples. Ask me anytime if you’d like our session captured in video and I’ll open up recording.
AFTER
All work product we collaborated on and typed during the call will be sent to you via email, along with any resources, links, or examples we discussed.
A live transcript will have run in the background to capture any magic during our call, so you’ll also have access to this afterwards as a reference.
After our time together, you can decide if you’d prefer to continue working independently or meet regularly. An upgrade to ongoing support in my Conscious Partnership service is a natural next step for many clients, now that you’ve experienced collaboration in action.
