MY Services

Scaling a business means building strong teams and the systems that support them.
That’s where I come in.

I offer three ways to work with me:

  • Fractional leadership & consultancy — to fix, build, and optimise your people and operational functions.

  • The Step Up — my tactical training programme for early-career managers.

  • Hands-on coaching - a blend of mentoring and management support to help leaders decide smarter, deliver faster, and grow with confidence.

Each are practical, no-fluff, and designed to cut to the chase, quickly.

1. FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP & CONSULTANCY

When you need to fix the people and operational stuff that’s slowing you down.

Scaling isn’t just about hiring more people. It’s about making sure your leadership, operations, and culture can support growth.

I work with founders, exec teams, and people leaders to:

  • Build or overhaul your people team.

  • Shape your exec team into confident, capable leaders.

  • Create talent acquisition processes that attract and retain the right people.

  • Design performance management systems that actually work.

  • Make hybrid or remote models work in practice.

  • Remove operational bottlenecks.

I can embed myself in your team as a fractional leader or work alongside you as a trusted consultant. Either way, I get hands-on, fast.

Who it’s for:

  • Fast-growth companies without a dedicated people leader.

  • People teams who need an extra pair of seasoned hands.

2. THE STEP UP: TRAINING & COACHING FOR EARLY-CAREER MANAGERS

Two-part tactical training

  • Hiring - how to identify what you need, run a sharp process, assess candidates properly, and make good hiring decisions.

  • Leading - how to work out your style, problem solve, run great meetings, give feedback, speak with clarity and confidence, design rituals, keep track of things, handle the hard stuff, build trust…and more

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?

  • Real-world, battle-tested tools, not just frameworks designed by management consultants.

  • Immediate application - no “come back to it later” content.

  • Coaching from someone who’s led teams in high-pressure, high-growth environments.

  • A focus on how to do things - with lots of demonstrating and role playing (and laughing, because learning should be fun).

I don’t just deliver the training and disappear — I take the time to get to know your business, tailor the content to your context, and partner with your managers afterwards to make it stick.

That’s also why I don’t run public cohorts. Every cohort is made up of managers from the same company - building trust, a shared language, and genuine peer support.

It’s not just good learning - it’s great retention.

3. HANDS-ON COACHING

NOT ALL COACHING IS CREATED EQUAL.

Traditional business coaching is great for helping people reach their own conclusions - but sometimes that’s not what’s needed. Sometimes a manager needs more than reflection. They need direction. They need someone who’s been there before, can spot the pitfalls ahead, and can say, “Here’s what works - do this.”

That’s where I come in.

I combine the best parts of coaching and mentoring with the pragmatism of a second manager. I work alongside your leaders - particularly first-time or early-career managers - to help them:

  • Set up the ways of working within their team.

  • Develop and engage team members.

  • Develop their core skills (communication, problem solving, change management etc).

  • Plan and deliver strategic projects.

  • Handle difficult conversations or performance issues.

  • Make smart, timely decisions under pressure.

I don’t just listen - I advise, guide, hold them accountable, and roll up my sleeves when needed.

The benefit? Senior leaders don’t have to hover over their managers, but they can be confident their frontline leaders are getting the support, challenge, and accountability they need to succeed.

It’s targeted, practical, a great perk, and designed to accelerate growth for the individual and the business.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

I’ve been building and leading teams for over 20 years - in high-growth companies, government, and everything in between.

I don’t just turn up with a deck. I get embedded in your world, understand your people and your pressures, and deliver tools your managers can use the very next day.

My style is practical, no-nonsense, no-fluff…with a touch of humour (or so I’d like to think…).

The result? Your company scales. Your managers succeed. Your teams deliver.
