Working with us.

Team development + leadership support

You’ve got a capable team, but it’s still too reliant on you. Things get done, but not always in the way you want. Expectations slip. Decisions slow down. You’re spending more time checking and following up than you should be.

This isn’t about having the wrong people. It’s about how the team is set up to work together. And whether it’s helping or hindering the business as it grows.

That’s what this work is about.

What we focus on

We support founder-led teams to:

  • Get clear on roles and responsibilities

  • Agree what good looks like

  • Build habits that support consistent delivery

  • Strengthen accountability and follow-through

  • Work through trust or communication issues

  • Reduce the need for founder input at every stage

It’s not about theory or models. It’s about making the day-to-day run better.

How it works

We start by understanding what’s actually happening. Where things are unclear. What’s slowing people down. What’s falling back on you.

From there, we work with you and the team to build a better way of working. That might involve planning sessions, resetting expectations, or setting up a new rhythm that helps things stick.

If you’re rolling out something like Working With Me, we can support that too — making sure it’s not just introduced, but used.

Who this is for

Small, founder-led businesses where the team is growing but the way of working hasn’t caught up yet. The team is busy, the work is there, but the structure isn’t holding it all.

What changes

  • The team gets clearer and more consistent

  • You don’t need to chase or step in as often

  • Work flows better

  • Conversations get easier

  • You get more space to lead

Sound familiar?

If you want your team to perform better without needing more from you, this is a good place to start.
