Your first appointment
One of the team will contact you to introduce themself and arrange a time and place to meet.
They will ask questions to learn about you and what is important to you. Over time, they will work with you to develop a plan. This will help to connect you to the right people at the right time to achieve your goals.
How long the team works with you will depend on your needs and goals.
