Work With Me 1:1

A 3-month 1:1 programme for product brand founders who are ready to go back to the stuff they enjoy.

You built something great. It shouldn't feel like a job.

You started this because you had a vision - a product, a standard, an aesthetic that was entirely yours. Somewhere along the way the business took over and the part you loved got buried under everything else.

This programme is about changing that. Not by teaching you to be a better manager. By helping you rediscover what only you can do and building the team around you that handles everything else.

Here's how it works:

We start with you

Before we look at anything else, we get clear on who you are in this business and what you actually want from it. We dig into your strengths, your DISC profile and the vision you've been carrying around in your head but never quite managed to get out. We audit where your time and energy really goes and work out what you should stop doing, so you can start doing more of what you're actually built for.

Then we look at your team - honestly

I talk to every single member of your team individually. I find out who's thriving, who isn't, who has the potential to take on more and who might be quietly ready to step up. I DISC-assess the whole team so we can see clearly where the strengths are, where the gaps are and who could take real ownership - freeing you up in the process.

Then we do the hardest bit

Letting go. For a founder who cares as deeply as you do, this is rarely straightforward. We work on the mindset shift that makes delegation feel safe rather than terrifying, so you can hand things over without lying awake worrying that the standard will slip.

Then we bring the team with us

We run workshops with your team covering the things that will make the biggest difference: how your brand thinks and speaks, how to talk to customers the way you would and the mission, vision and values that should be driving every decision they make - even when you're not in the room.

Then we build the structure that holds it all together

Clear roles, smart workflows and the processes that mean your brand is consistent whether you're there or not. Not a manual that gathers dust - a way of working that actually sticks.

What you walk away with

By the end of three months you'll have a team that can carry your vision forward, a structure that holds without you at the centre of everything and the headspace to get back to the part of this business that lit you up in the first place.

A note on timing

I'm currently accepting a small number of founding clients for this programme at a preferential investment rate. In return, I ask for honest feedback and a testimonial at the end.

If you've been thinking about sorting this out for a while, now is a genuinely good time to start that conversation.

This is right for you if:

You know you're a visionary, not a manager and you're ready to stop pretending otherwise

You're exhausted by how much of your time goes on things that drain you

You want your team to think for themselves and make their own calls as long as those calls sound like you

You want practical, human support from someone who gets it - not advice that asks you to be someone you're not

This probably isn't right for you if:

You're a solopreneur with no team yet

You're looking for a quick fix or a done-for-you solution with no owner involvement

You're not open to your team being part of the process

Ready to find out if my work is right for you?

Let's have an honest conversation about where you are and what you need. No pitch, no pressure.
