Cases
Where I’ve been, minus the names.
Names are left out and some details changed, to protect the people I worked with. What happened, and what came out of it, is real.
In the seat
4 cases
Here I held the role myself, with the mandate and the accountability that come with it.
Where love came in
Why I call it love →You’ll find “Love will fix it.” at the bottom of every page. In these cases, this is where it showed up.
People got to steer their own growth, with their manager next to them.
Scaling a culture of learning and ownership
We put everyone’s worries and ambitions on the table early. That built the trust the merger needed.
Merging two family businesses
Pay started to follow what people really contributed, and it was open enough for everyone to trust it.
Clear roles for a fast-growing SaaS company
Leaders helped shape the program themselves, and engagement went up.
Rebuilding how leaders learn
Managers started having better conversations with their people about pay and growth.
Building a reward model that reflects impact
Feedback became a habit, so growing as a leader happened in the everyday work.
Preparing leaders, without slowing down
Alongside leadership
6 cases
Work where I designed and facilitated next to the leadership team, without taking a seat myself. A lot of how I look at organizations comes from here.
Sectors I’ve worked in: Tech & SaaS · Family Businesses · IT Services · Manufacturing · Retail · Professional Services · Education & Publishing
In a first conversation I’m happy to share names and references, under NDA.
The messy version is fine. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
