I keep things calm and practical.

We’ll make sense of where you are, choose what matters most, and turn it into steady momentum.

My Approach


LISTEN

A short, focused conversation to understand your goals, constraints, and what’s noisy right now.

MAP

We capture the moving parts, clarify decisions, and agree the next few steps. No jargon, just a simple plan.

MOVE

We work the plan together. Light check-ins, clear actions, and adjustments as you learn.


So you get: clarity on priorities, a plan you’ll actually use, and confidence to move forward.

WHO I HELP

I work with owners and independent professionals who want calm, steady progress, not constant firefighting.

If you value clarity, simple plans, and consistent follow-through, we’ll be a good fit


Small businesses (1-20 people)

Too many priorities, not enough time!

I help you choose what matters, simplify processes, and give your team a plan they’ll actually use.

Independent professionals

You wear every hat. We’ll create a lightweight rhythm for growth, delivery, and ops so you can move forward without the overwhelm.

Growing teams

As work scales, things get noisy. I bring structure, decision clarity, and a simple cadence so progress sticks.


Signs we’re a fit: you want clearer priorities, decisions captured in plain English, and momentum you can trust.

Project Leadership

Grounded in professional project management, I keep moving parts organised, decisions clear, and progress steady, without the theatre.

FAQ

A workspace with a laptop, wooden rulers, two pencils, and colorful sticky notes.
  • We start off with a 20/30 minute clarity session, then two-three weeks of momentum of hour long calls. We set the cadence to fit your pace.

  • It depends entirely on your needs but typical deliverables are action plans, decision notes, simple templates, and mapping documents - plus light guidance or coaching to keep progress steady.

  • Mostly remote. In-person is possible by arrangement.

  • No. We agree the deliverables together to prioritise, remove noise, and make the steps smaller. But my clients often move on to bigger projects after we work together.

  • Fixed, transparent packages. No surprises. We’ll choose what fits in the intro call.
