Susanna Reay
The Framework Thinking® Business Coach
You have the expertise. You have the results.
Now it is time to give your methodology a name.
Sketch. Scale. Be Sought.
STUDIO is a three-month guided working environment
and build their Authority Framework® that makes it unmistakable
The next cycle begins 1 August 2026.
You have been doing your work for years.
Your clients get results. You know exactly what you are doing in a session — the questions you ask, the patterns you recognise, the sequence that moves people from where they are to where they need to be.
That knowledge is real and it is hard-won.
And yet...
When someone asks you to explain your approach, the answer is longer than it should be.
The methodology that runs so clearly inside your practice does not yet have a shape that others can hold.
You can see the work. You cannot yet show the architecture.
This is not a gap in your expertise.
It is a gap in its structure.
And it is exactly what STUDIO is built to close.
“Working with Susanna helped me finally make sense of what had been sitting in my head for years. I stopped overthinking and started seeing the structure in my own work.” Haroum, Psychologist.So what exactly is STUDIO?
STUDIO is not a course. It is not a coaching programme.
It is 3 months of guided excavation drawing out the methodology that is already running inside your practice, giving it a name, a visual form, and the intellectual architecture it needs to travel.
Working through the SPARK Process®, you will extract, name, and visualise your Authority Framework® — the cornerstone from which your content, your offers, your talks, and the book you may have been building toward all take their clearest shape.
This is the work that makes everything else more effective.
Not because it replaces what you have built, but because it gives it structure that compounds.
STUDIO is:
→ Practical, considered support
→ Framework Thinking® in action
→ A structured space to develop your thinking
→ Steady progress at the right pace
→ Support for complex expertise
There is a weekly question deadline, a monthly SPARK review and a quarterly live think-tank. The whole thing lives inside a three-month container, which is long enough to go deep and short enough to stay focused.
STUDIO is not:
x Another course to consume
x A noisy, call based mastermind
x Rigid coaching
x Someone else’s formula
x Pressure to perform
Why Framework Thinking changes things
"The framework [we developed] absolutely captures the journey that I take the widow on in the work that I do, and also my journey." — Karen Sutton, The Widow Coach.Most experts are carrying far more clarity than they realise.
It simply has not yet been structured.
Framework Thinking helps surface the patterns already present within your expertise — so your thinking becomes easier to articulate, shape, and grow.
This is where scattered ideas begin to connect. where expertise becomes easier to explain, and where your work begins to feel more coherent, aligned, and understood.
Because clarity should not require becoming someone else.
Inside STUDIO
Three months. One framework. Built to last.
Inside STUDIO, you work through the five stages of the SPARK Process® — the guided excavation methodology that draws out, names, and visualises the intellectual property already running inside your work.
This is not conceptual work. Every framework that emerges from the SPARK Process® is tested against the reality of the business, the client, and the market it serves. This is practical, applicable work that applies immediately into your everyday.
“I shared my framework at talks in Edinburgh and London recently. Signed a client to my programme and have four leads in the pipeline. Getting better at talking through it. I can recommend Susanna's work. Thorough, insightful and transformative.” Anne. L, Vocal Intuition.STUDIO meets you where you are.
Some members arrive with a clear direction.
Others arrive with something they cannot quite articulate yet.
Both are welcome.
Because STUDIO supports thinking in development.
“The clarity, confidence and structure I gained changed how I saw my work entirely. I finally found a way to explain what I do without overcomplicating it. Everything suddenly felt clearer.”Every STUDIO 3 month cycle includes:
The intellectual architecture behind Framework Thinking®.
Inside STUDIO, you will work with the SPARK Process® to strengthen authority through your own expertise, shaping frameworks, positioning, intellectual property and the ideas that underpin stronger offers.
The SPARK Vault contains simple training videos and workbooks. Move through what matters most to your work:
→ SELF
→ PREMISE
→ ART
→ REACH
→ KUDOS
No rigid curriculum. No forced sequence. Just thoughtful progression at the pace meaningful authority is built.
Note: Susanna is busy training an AI agent SPARK NAV to help you navigate and brainstorm aspects of the SPARK Process in an interactive rather than course-driven way. STUDIO members will get access to SPARK Nav as a bonus as soon as it is ready. Watch this space!
Much of the work inside STUDIO happens in writing and/or sketches.
Inside our designated chat workspace*, you bring focused questions weekly that can be related to a challenge, a workbook or a sketch each week and receive thoughtful strategic refinement.
This might be:
→ a framework idea
→ messaging that feels almost there
→ an authority pivot
→ an offer that lacks shape
Each week's questions have a submission deadline of Wednesday at 12 noon UK time, and Susanna will usually have all replies back in 48 hours, often sooner.
This is a group environment, so all questions are visible for all to develop together.
*We will be using 'pumble' (a Slack alternative) free to download on desktop and mobile app, enabling you to know exactly where to focus when working ON your business.
Submit one meaningful piece of work* each month for detailed private feedback, refinement and perspective.
Examples might include:
→ framework drafts
→ positioning or messaging
→ talks, keynotes or book outlines
→ service offers and expansion ideas
Feedback may come as:
→ written reflections
→ annotated documents
→ voice notes
→ short video review
The purpose?
Not perfection, progress alongside strategic refinement and momentum that compounds.
SPARK Reviews are direct between you and Susanna, making them the right place for more sensitive or commercially confidential material.
*SPARK reviews are limited to submissions under 3000 words.
Once each cycle, we gather for a focused live, group Think Tank. A three hour window to step back from day-to-day work and think more strategically about what is emerging.
This is where you:
→ see patterns more clearly
→ guest idea transfer
→ member spotlight conversations
→ creative generation
→ higher-level authority thinking
Think: A room where ideas sharpen and sparks fly.
Think-Tanks are scheduled at the start of month 3 in each cycle and times will vary and are decided on the current cohort's preference, with recordings available for those that cannot attend.
For a small number of members, there is the option to step into STUDIO Elite.
This is for those wanting closer support while shaping something significant — whether that is a new body of work, a shift in positioning, a framework, book, programme or a more substantial period of professional change.
Alongside everything included in STUDIO, Elite members receive:
→ Weekly private feedback channel
→ Two private coaching calls across the cycle
→ Two bonus SPARK reviews
Limited to 8 places per cycle.

Kerri Burchill, PhD – Leadership Trainer
“One session kickstartered my full business framework, two sessions and we nailed it!”
“I have a PhD in frameworks but was stuck. Susanna took my ideas and turned them into a clear, logical offer. I left our session more empowered to pitch what I can do for clients. It's logical, it's cohesive, and I really think it is capturing sort of the talent and the service that I bring to the world. So do it, it's going to be worth it, and you're going to feel inspired and lighter like I do right now. So thanks so much Susanna, your Framework Thinking is the bomb!”
By the end of three months, you will have:
The framework is not the end of the work.
It is the structure from which the work compounds.
Clients are welcome to continue in subsequent cycles to have support on the compounding steps.
"Susanna helped me to develop my PEG and EASE frameworks, and I have really noticed when I am speaking that these are the slides where people reach for their phones to take pictures. Frameworks help pull ideas together and make them easier for people to remember and apply. Who doesn't want that?!" Hayley.W, Corporate Training & Coaching | Author | SpeakerIs STUDIO right for me?
STUDIO is built for practitioners who are already in practice. People who have results — real ones, from real client work — and whose methodology is running inside everything they do, even if it does not yet have a name.

How to Join
STUDIO is not a one step click-to-buy programme. It is a guided working environment that begins with a short 'Reservation Form'. This is a chance for you to tell me about your work, your practice, and what you are building toward. It is NOT a screening process, it is the start of a conversation that we will continue over the next 3 months.
I read every form personally. You will hear from me within 72 hours by email, with details to confirm openings. If the timing is not right, or if a different path would serve you better, I will tell you that too.
There is no pressure. The right decision is always the one that actually moves your work forward.
Doors open quarterly • Spaces available starting 1st August
Why I Created STUDIO
Framework Thinking is a global best seller. Clients live globally, and STUDIO needed to be an offer that crossed time-zones with ease, so everyone can access the same level of strategic direction to develop their thinking.
Since 2018, I have been giving strategic direction to clients through focused text conversations. What began informally, quickly became one of the most valuable ways I worked. Clients often moved further through a concentrated exchange of thoughtful messages than they had in hours of conversation.
"The text coaching is a great idea and I found it really helpful. It's put me in a much better frame of mind now I've got some practical steps to follow. Plus it's such a convenient way to communicate!” Kayleigh FW, Course CreatorOver time, I realised why.
People love to talk about ideas, but talking does not always move them forward, especially when the thinking is still taking shape. What creates momentum is visualising the ideas with focused refinement. The right question at the right moment. Space to reflect before responding. A sharper perspective that helps an idea become clearer, stronger and more actionable.
The results were hard to ignore: Ideas landed faster, decisions became clearer, clients stopped circling and started moving.
It changed how I thought about support. Important ideas need space to breathe, and stronger thinking often emerges after reflection, when both people have had time to think properly.
STUDIO is built differently. A place for strategic refinement, where important thinking is challenged, shaped and made real at the pace meaningful authority is built. A place where you can get my eyes on your work, wherever you live in the world. STUDIO members get my direct feedback - there is no outsourcing to sub-coaches.
"Susanna is so intuitive in how she works, she gets me, she'll get you, as she adapts to people's individuality. Working with Susanna is worth every penny. If you're thinking about working with Susanna, just do it - she is a complete wizard, a master at what she does." Linzy B. Life CoachI adapt to you, rather than changing you to fit a structure that isn't designed for you. My goal is to uncover the gold within you so it can travel far and land with impact (be that within a course, book or talk).
Support inside STUDIO works on your time
Ideas rarely arrive neatly during a set call. More often, they appear halfway through real work.
A question emerges. A pattern clicks. Something suddenly makes sense.
STUDIO is designed around your existing business
You can bring questions, ideas and thinking at the moment they are happening inside our private community space, rather than waiting weeks to revisit them.
Susanna provides regular written or video feedback inside the space.
It is to give you a way to work with your thinking as it develops; in real time, in writing, and in the rhythm of your actual work.
This style of support is called "asynchronous" as we do not need to be available at the same time to develop your thinking, though if you join STUDIO Elite, you can book in private calls with Susanna.
"Susanna has not only huge knowledge but she really cares about her clients. She gives laser focused advice on the next steps to go and how to get there in an easy way even introvert people dare to go." Britt.T, StylistQuick Check

faq
No.
In fact, many people join because they know there is something more in their work — but cannot yet fully articulate it.
Some arrive with a clear direction. Others arrive with ideas that still feel scattered.
Both are welcome.
STUDIO is designed to help you make better sense of what is already there.
Both.
STUDIO is rooted in practical application.
This is not abstract thinking for the sake of it.
The work inside STUDIO helps you shape positioning, frameworks, language, offers, ways of working and the practical structure around your expertise.
But we do not jump straight to tactics.
Because meaningful progress usually comes from making better sense of what you are building first.
In some ways, yes.
But not in the traditional sense.
STUDIO is intentionally quieter, more considered, and less performative than many mastermind spaces.
There is no pressure to constantly show up, prove yourself, or follow someone else’s blueprint.
Instead, it is a place for thoughtful support, practical guidance, and stronger thinking alongside others shaping meaningful work.
Yes, if Susanna has availability. Extra calls will incur an additional fee.
STUDIO Elite members have 2 guaranteed calls during the cycle, and is the recommended option if you like to work this way.
You are not expected to keep up with endless content and calls.
STUDIO is designed to work alongside real life and real work.
The ongoing written support means you can engage with ideas as they arise, at any time of day. SPARK Vault is there to support you with simple and trainings and workbooks to guide your framework development.
No.
STUDIO is not for new start-ups, who need to establish the basic tech, learn how to market and sell, and serve their first clients.
STUDIO uses your lived client experience to develop your Authority Framework®.
1 - GET THE BOOK: I would encourage you to get started serving one to one, and read Framework Thinking® as your starting point.
The exercises in SELF will help you see where you should be focusing on for your business.
Once you have worked with clients for a year, then come back and STUDIO can help unravel the patterns that have appeared in your work. Remember that Framework Thinking® is about uncovering the patterns in your work, not inventing a framework that has no proof behind it.
That uncertainty is often part of the reason people join. You do not need to have everything figured out. But you do need a willingness to engage with your own thinking, and client results that steer your pathway.
The enrollment form exists to help you reflect on whether this feels like the right space for where you are now. Not to judge whether you are ‘good enough’ to join. In fact if you are reading this, my bet is you are - you just were waiting on finding the right space to structure your thinking so it lands with impact.
The enrollment form is the start of our 3 month conversation, and only if it feels the best fit for you, will I send you the payment links to confirm your space. If this isn't quite what you need, send me an email and I will match your needs to the right solution.
You can explore joining at any time.
STUDIO opens in quarterly cohort cycles, and places are limited to 30 members.
If it feels like the right fit, you will receive joining details for the next available intake. If the current cycle is not to capacity, there is a secret early start back door opportunity to join in that Susanna will share if relevant post receipt of your enrollment form.
Excellent! I love questions. Feel free to add your additional questions onto the enrollment form as completing the form doesn't obligate you to join, (click the big gold buttons to get started). Or ping me an email
Completing the form does not obligate you to join us. The process is designed to ensure that this is the right space for you and you are happy to have written support. There are no sales calls involved in joining STUDIO.
Your STUDIO space is reserved when payment is processed.

Jo H. – Marketing Pro
“Susanna just gets business — no matter your niche.”
"I can honestly say that out of all the support I’ve purchased in the 9+ years I’ve been in business, Susanna just ‘gets’ business no matter what area a person is in (from me in marketing, to others like pet therapists) These are TOTALLY different businesses but you just ‘get’ us both."
“
Isabelle C. – Crypto Consultant
“She thinks with you. That’s rare.”
“Susanna really thinks with us. I think Susanna is the best that I have ever met online or offline. She brings all my ideas together and it's really valuable, and I have been a marketeer for a very long time, so I know all the stuff, but psychologically, if it's for yourself, it's a lot more difficult, and she comes up with really specific ideas."
“
Nicla D. – Interior Designer
“Clarity Queen! I finally feel ahead of the game.”
“I now know what makes me unique, and my clients see it too. Susanna helped me untangle my message and build a profitable offer with confidence.”
Is it time to structure your expertise?
You do not need to have everything figured out. Only the willingness to explore what your work is becoming — and the right space to help shape it.
If STUDIO feels like the sort of space you have been looking for, the next step is simple.
Limited to 30 places per cohort cycle, when the fill, doors close.
Final Note:
The expertise is not the gap. The structure is.
Every practitioner who has built a real body of client work has a methodology running inside it. Most of them cannot yet see it clearly, because proximity makes structure invisible. That is not a failure of intelligence or ambition. It is a feature of deep expertise — you are inside it, which is precisely why the excavation is guided.
What STUDIO builds is not something new. It draws out what has always been there, gives it a name and a form, and positions it to travel further than you can carry it alone.
That is what compound authority looks like. And it begins with the framework.
