Make Better Decisions with Someone in Your Corner

You're making decisions that will shape your business for months or years to come. Get them right, and you've built momentum. Get them wrong, and you're dealing with consequences that take time and resources to unwind. The pressure of that responsibility can be considerable.

Perhaps you've been going in circles on a decision, seeing valid arguments on multiple sides. Or maybe you've made similar decisions before but are uncertain if the same thinking applies in your current situation. Your team looks to you for direction, but who do you turn to when you need perspective?

There's often an isolation that comes with leadership roles. The very people who might have useful input are also the ones you need to lead with confidence. Showing uncertainty can feel like weakness, even though working through uncertainty is just good sense. You need a space where you can think out loud without worrying about how it looks.

Sessions typically run for ninety minutes, though we can adjust based on what you need. We begin by understanding where you are and what questions are most pressing. This isn't rushing to solutions—it's taking time to understand your context properly, because good advice depends on good understanding.

The conversation itself feels more like thinking alongside someone than receiving instruction. We explore different perspectives on your situation, consider potential approaches, and work through implications. You'll find yourself articulating things more clearly just through the process of discussion. Often, clarity emerges not from being told what to do, but from having someone ask the right questions.

Sessions can happen in person if you're in or near Leeds, or remotely if that works better. What matters is having focused time without interruptions. You'll leave with clearer thinking on your questions and usually some specific next steps worth considering. We can provide follow-up notes if that's helpful, though many founders find the clarity itself is what they needed most.

The effectiveness of advisory sessions comes down to the quality of conversation and the relevance of perspective. We've worked with over eighty-five organisations across different industries and stages—from founders figuring out their first funding round to established businesses entering new markets. That breadth of experience means we've usually seen something similar to your situation before, which helps us ask better questions and spot considerations others might miss.

Results show up in different ways depending on your needs. Sometimes it's making a decision you'd been stuck on for weeks. Other times it's avoiding a path that looked appealing but would have led to problems. Often it's simply having greater confidence in your direction, knowing you've thought things through properly. The measure of success isn't following our advice—it's you moving forward with clarity.

For those who arrange regular sessions, the benefits accumulate over time. You start making better decisions because you're thinking strategically more often. Problems get addressed earlier because you have regular space to spot them. Your business becomes more resilient because you're not just reacting to whatever comes up. That compound effect is often more valuable than any single conversation.

Starting the conversation is straightforward. Reach out through the contact form below, mentioning that you're interested in advisory sessions. Let us know a bit about your situation and what questions you're working through. We'll get back to you within one business day to arrange that initial conversation.

During that first discussion—which typically takes about twenty minutes—we'll learn more about your circumstances and what you're hoping to address. You'll get a better sense of whether our approach feels like a good fit. If both of us think there's value in proceeding, we'll schedule your first full session at a time that works for you.

From there, it's entirely up to you whether you want to continue. Some founders book a series of sessions to work through a particular challenge. Others schedule monthly check-ins as ongoing support. Many start with a single session to see how it goes. There's no pressure for any particular arrangement—we adapt to what makes sense for your needs.
