How I work with you
-
I help business founders find strategic clarity by understanding the cultural context in which their decisions will be read, tested and judged.
Using cultural intelligence, I work with leaders to reduce unnecessary complexity, sharpen positioning and introduce strategic restraint — the discipline of focusing on what truly matters, rather than reacting to every option or signal.
This results in fewer assumptions, clearer communication and more confident decisions across brand strategy, business planning and investment narratives.
The work is thoughtful, direct and grounded in experience — designed to replace guesswork with informed choice.

Strategy & Business Planning
Clear, practical strategic planning for growth — from concise decision-making conversations to brand development, business and offer modelling or investment pitching. By drawing on cultural intelligence insights and using tools like the Business Model and Value Proposition Canvases, I work with you to identify your real strengths and sharpen your point of difference. Then we build an action plan for implementing fresh ideas and insights across your business.

Brand, voice and communications
Whether you're repositioning a brand, or figuring out how to talk about the value of what you do — I work with you find language that is true to your business culture and compelling to the people you're trying to reach.

Use this documented analysis and supporting workshop to identify your brand communication gaps or misfires. Insights can be applied across your wider sales and marketing activities.Brand Culture and Strategic Positioning
This workshop helps founders define their brand culture with clarity and intent. Using a cultural intelligence lens, we work on values, mission and vision as practical tools for better decisions, stronger communication and long‑term growth. Ideal for businesses refining direction or preparing for their next stage. -

Reframing Pricing
The advent of AI makes pricing a current hot topic, as business operations and service design are changing at an unprecedented pace. For service-based businesses, this is a particular challenge, as clients come to expect more for less.
With more clarity on pricing, you can actively model your business for future sustainability and growth.
In this workshop, we take a fresh look at your implementation of AI and its impact on your brand positioning, business design and pricing strategy. In particular, we identify where value in your business is being created, absorbed or lost - and how to reposition your offer and build lost value back into your business profitability.

Sales & Marketing Strategy
A joined-up approach to planning for commercial growth — covering digital, direct, trade and consumer channels. Using cultural intelligence principles, I help you cut through the noise, prioritise what actually moves the needle, and avoid wasting limited time and budget on strategies that aren't right for your business.
Who I work with
I work with people doing meaningful, creative and commercial work, including:
Business founders — from brewery and hospitality businesses to creative makers and non‑profit CIC founders
Lifestyle and design‑led businesses looking to grow their brand, reach, and relevance
Creative consultants, agencies and independents seeking a strategic sounding board and actionable brand communication insight
Serial entrepreneurs preparing to pitch or launch their next venture with greater confidence
What connects all my clients is a belief that culturally intelligent businesses — ones that act with intent, clarity and self‑awareness — make better decisions and create stronger value over time.
