Success in business is never by accident.
You had your Business MOT. You had your Verdict.
Now, you need someone in your corner while you’re actually doing something about it.
Every relationship starts with a Business MOT. No exceptions.
I won't advise on something I haven't properly diagnosed. The MOT is how I understand your business through six lenses, find the real constraint, and work out where to start.
Without it, any support I offer is guesswork dressed up as strategy - and I am not that kind of consultant…
Three ways to work together
The right tier depends on the complexity of your business and how much strategic support you actually need
Eyes On is a structured advisory retainer — regular check-ins, a monthly focus, and access to a thinking partner who actually knows your business. Not someone who asks you to fill in a form every month. Someone who remembers what you said last time and holds you to it.
What's included
- Structured check-in sessions at 30, 60 and 90 days — we review progress against your MOT priorities and set the next direction
- Monthly written briefing — one page, what to focus on, what to watch, one question worth sitting with
- Email access between sessions for quick sense checks — answered within 48 hours
- Annual mini-diagnostic — a lighter review of your six lenses to see what's shifted
What this isn't: I am not implementing anything for you. I advise on whether what you're doing is working. You lead. I keep you honest.
Strategic Partner is for the owner with a team, multiple service lines, or a business growing faster than their systems can keep up with. You need someone close enough to spot what's coming before it lands on your desk — not just checking in, but genuinely across the business.
What's included
- Everything in Eyes On
- Quarterly meetings with key team members or managers — I listen for the gap between what you think is happening and what your team actually experiences
- Post-team-meeting debrief — what I observed, what it means, what to address
- Six-monthly deeper diagnostic review — focused on whichever lenses are under most pressure
- Priority email response within 24 hours
- Your full six-lens framework applied continuously — not just at MOT stage, but as an ongoing way of reading your business
What this isn't: I am not managing your team. I am advising you on how to lead them better. The decisions are yours. I'm the person who asks the questions nobody else will.
Full Picture is what it sounds like — I'm fully across your business, available when it matters, and in the room for the conversations that shape where you're going. Not a retainer you forget about. A thinking partnership at the highest level of your business.
What's included
- Everything in Eyes On and Strategic Partner
- Monthly strategy sessions — structured, agenda set in advance, outputs documented
- Availability for additional meetings when something significant is happening — a hire, a pivot, a pricing decision, a difficult client
- Input on strategic documents before they go out — proposals, plans, offers, anything that shapes your direction
- Quarterly board-style review — where the business is, where it's going, what the gap is
- Real-time access to my thinking for significant decisions
If you're wondering whether Full Picture is right for you — it probably is if the cost of getting the next decision wrong is higher than the cost of having the right person in the room.
I give recommendations.
You make decisions.
That distinction matters — not just practically, but philosophically. You built this business. You know it better than anyone. My job is to see it clearly from the outside, tell you what I find, and help you work out what to do with that.
No open-ended retainers. No vague ongoing support. Clear work, done well, for as long as it's useful.
Not sure which tier is right for you?
Start with the Business MOT. The written verdict will tell us both where you are and what level of support makes sense from there.
