YOUR PARTNER FOR PEOPLE & GROWTH
For founders and leaders serious about growth
Does this sound like you?
I work with founders, leaders of small and growing businesses of 5–50 people. Here are the situations I hear most often, and where I bring the most value. Find yours, and let's get started.
Situations
Does it sound familiar?
01
“We're about to hire our first ten people.”
Everything you set up now, how you hire, how you land people, who decides what becomes the way things are done. Worth getting right once.
HR Consulting · Strategic Projects →
02
“I'm still the HR department. And I have a company to run.”
You don't need a full-time HR lead yet. You need one a few days a month who knows the business and takes the people work off your desk.
HR Consulting · Fractional HR →
03
“We're hiring, but the right people aren't applying.”
Usually the job is fine and the story isn't. Candidates can't tell what it's like to work with you, so the good ones don't bother.
Employer Branding →
04
“We've grown past thirty and the old ways have stopped working.””
The things that used to happen naturally such as feedback, onboarding, knowing who owns what now need a light structure so they keep happening.
HR Consulting · Strategic Projects →
05
“Our people love it here. Nobody outside knows.”
That's the easiest employer brand to build: it's already true. It just needs to be said, in your people's words, where candidates will see it.
Employer Branding →
06
“Something's off with the team. We're not sure what.”
Start with a scan. A few minutes, free, and you'll know whether it's a foundations problem or a story problem before we ever speak.
Honest Fit
And when I'm not the right person.
If you need payroll run, a legal case handled, or an HR department for 500 people, I'm not for your though I'll happily point you to someone who is.
I work on the people foundations and the employer story of companies small enough that one good decision still changes everything.
Not sure? That's what the call is for.
