Still have a question? Read through these — most people find the answer here.
Book a SessionA bit of both. Zubin will ask questions to understand your situation clearly — but he will also tell you what he thinks. If there is something in your approach that is not working, he will say so. If there is a better framework for your situation, he will share it. Expect directness, not just reflection back at you.
Yes — a short pre-session form is sent after you book. It takes around 5 minutes and asks what you want to focus on and where you are right now. Zubin reads this before the call so the session starts in the right place. No lengthy documents required — just enough context to make the 60 minutes count.
Yes. Many people book a follow-up after their first session once they have had time to put things into practice. If you want a regular rhythm — monthly check-ins, a quarterly strategy session, or something else — get in touch directly and we will find an arrangement that works.
The community gives you peer support, access to all of Zubin's content, group sessions, and live events. The 1:1 is one-to-one time focused entirely on your specific situation — not a group format, not a course. It is the fastest way to get a direct answer to a specific challenge. Many people do both — the community for ongoing learning, the 1:1 for pivotal moments.
That is fine — just book and say so in the pre-session form. A good starting point is often "I feel stuck and I am not sure why" or "I have a decision to make and I want to think it through." Zubin will use the first few minutes of the session to help you identify the most useful focus before diving in.
What people say about working with Zubin
From 1:1 coaching sessions to Udemy course reviews — a consistent picture of direct, practical, honest guidance.
Replace this with your strongest coaching testimonial — ideally from someone who booked a 1:1 session and can speak to the directness, the clarity they got, and how the follow-up helped them take action. Focus on outcome, not just experience.
Replace with a second coaching or course testimonial — speaking to Zubin's style, the practical value of the content, or how it helped them think differently about their role.
Replace with a third testimonial — from Udemy, Topmate, or the community. Keep quotes under 50 words; shorter is more credible.
Replace with a fourth testimonial — ideally from a different context (Udemy course, community session, or direct coaching) to show breadth.
Replace with a fifth testimonial. If you only have three strong ones, remove cards 4 and 5 entirely — three great testimonials beat five mediocre ones every time.
How a session
actually works
Three steps from booking to outcome. Nothing complicated — just a focused, well-prepared conversation.
Book a SessionBook and prepare
Choose a time on Topmate or Gumroad and pay to confirm. You will immediately receive a short pre-session form — a few questions about what you want to focus on and where you are right now.
This means the session starts with context, not small talk. Zubin reads your responses before the call so the 60 minutes hit the ground running.
Pre-session form takes 5 minutes. No essays — just enough so the session is focused from the first minute.
The session
60 minutes via video call. No slides, no scripted agenda — just a direct, honest conversation focused entirely on your situation.
Zubin will ask questions and he will also tell you what he thinks. You leave with clarity on the issue, a framework or approach to take forward, and a clear next step — not just a good conversation.
Expect directness. This is not a session where someone reflects your own thoughts back at you. Zubin will share his perspective.
Written follow-up
Within 24 hours of the session, Zubin sends a written summary of what was discussed — the key frameworks covered, the actions you agreed, and any resources or next steps relevant to your situation.
So the value does not disappear the moment the call ends. You have something to refer back to and share with your team if relevant.
Sent within 24 hours. A concise written record — not a transcript, but a distilled summary of the session's key outputs.

What we can work on
A session works best when there is a specific focus. Here are the six areas where 1:1 time with Zubin delivers the most value.
Your L&D career strategy
Where you are, where you want to go, and what is standing in the way. Clarity on your next move and what to prioritise to get there.
Navigating AI as an L&D professional
Building your personal AI strategy — what to use, how to position yourself, and how to lead your organisation through the shift.
L&D framework and approach audit
Review and sharpen what you are currently doing — your learning strategy, your design approach, your measurement framework, or your team's operating model.
Stakeholder and influencing challenges
Getting buy-in, managing up, navigating difficult stakeholders, and positioning L&D as a strategic function rather than an order-taker.
Leadership and management development
Designing better programmes for your managers — from needs analysis to programme structure to how you measure behaviour change.
Transitioning into or growing within L&D
Career moves, skill gaps, development planning, and how to position yourself for the next level — whether you are entering the field or moving up within it.
Don't see your topic here?
Bring whatever is most pressing. These are starting points, not a fixed menu. The pre-session form lets you tell Zubin exactly what you want to focus on so the 60 minutes are used well.
Three profiles.
Find yourself here.
A 1:1 session works best when there is a specific situation, challenge, or decision to work through. Here are the three people who get the most from it.
You are at a crossroads
A new role, a promotion opportunity, a pivot into L&D strategy, or a career move you are not sure about. You need a clear-eyed outside perspective to figure out your next move — not a cheerleader, but someone who will ask the right questions and give you a straight answer.
"I know something needs to change — I just need help working out what."
You feel like you are going in circles
You have the knowledge and the experience. But you keep hitting the same walls — the same stakeholder challenges, the same frustrations, the same questions with no clear answers. You do not need more content. You need a thinking partner who can help you see what you cannot see from inside the situation.
"I know what I want to achieve — I just can't seem to get there."
You want to pressure-test your thinking
You know where you are going. You want to pressure-test your L&D strategy, get direct feedback on your approach, or sharpen something specific before you take it to your organisation. You want direct, honest input from someone who has seen what works and what does not.
"I have a plan — I want someone who will challenge it, not just validate it."
