FAQ
What happens after I join?
You receive the Narrative Edge exercise and can join any of the upcoming Live Positioning Q&As. When doors open August 23–28th, you can book your seat for ETHOS Independent, Guided, or Private.
How is ETHOS delivered?
In your inbox. One module per week for 6 weeks. A module has 1 video (20-30min) plus 1 worksheet, theory and reference sources. If you like to go faster, you can advance. But in reality, all previous participants have found most breakthroughs by taking their time.
Is ETHOS a copywriting course?
Copy is an output; positioning and narrative identity is the core focus. However, you’ll be able to directly use answers from Ethos into your sales copy or positioning language.
Is ETHOS coaching?
We use a combination of reflective questions, narrative strategy, writing exercises, and tried & tested frameworks. If you choose Guided or Private then yes, you’ll also receive coaching to guide you through the work.
What’s the difference between ETHOS Independent, Guided, and Private?
Independent is self-paced. Guided adds live feedback and a group cohort. Private is a 3-month 1:1 build with Roel.
Can I already lock in my seat today?
Doors open 23rd of August. But you can reserve one of the 20 ETHOS Guided seats in advance. Tick the box in the waitlist form and pay the €300 deposit (non-refundable). The reservation fee will be deducted from your total price during the enrollment period.
Do you have anything for me now?
Yes. If you sign up on the waitlist today, you get a free Narrative Edge exercise and access to sign up for a live positioning Q&A with Roel.
What’s your refund policy?
Complete Ethos, put all your assets live. If after 30 days you do not notice a change in how you speak and position your business, you can apply for a full refund. Reservation fees for Ethos Guided are non-refundable.
Can I expense ETHOS?
In many cases, yes. It’s a personal business development tool supporting you with positioning and marketing. Consult your accountant for your specific situation.
