Does this sound familiar? You run an established business and are committed to levelling up to the next stage of success. BUT the way the company operates at the moment won’t allow it. Growth strategy documents end up stuffed in a drawer because it’s too challenging and overwhelming to get the ball rolling and get everyone’s buy-in. The team returns to working ‘in the business’, and things stay stuck. In my experience, seven out of 10 businesses sit here because the change process needs structure, focus, realistic timelines, constant feedback loops, flexibility and someone outside the business to help pull all this together to make it happen. That’s why I developed a dynamic, focused, and flexible three-step, no-BS process to help CEOs implement business growth; it’s called Demystifying the Road to Change, which is also the title of my book. My no-BS approach is built from my experience working with many CEOs and my life in the corporate trenches in senior leadership teams. At Ella Bache, I designed and led a dynamic change culture that inspired the team and the business to greatness. Unfortunately, my time at Freedom was the opposite. I learned a tremendous amount from both roles. I know the pressure leaders face, and I want to show them how to balance head and heart to navigate change and growth and ensure their business is set up for the long haul, no matter what changes are thrown in their path My no-BS process? 1️⃣ Reality Check: The good, bad and ugly of where the business sits concerning purpose, values, mission, etc. Have we lost the heart of the organisation along the way? 2️⃣ Decide and Act: We create achievable one-page plans that won’t end up stuck in a drawer. We also build in KPIs and communicate the vision to get buy-in from top to bottom. 3️⃣ Make it Stick: We imbed a fluid and agile planning process into the DNA of the business. No BS, no secrets, and no surprises as the leadership team inspires everyone along on the journey. Traditional planning doesn’t work. You will likely end up with a to-do list as long as your arm and no people, time or energy to create lasting change. I love turning good businesses into great businesses, and I come with a no-BS guarantee. I’ll tell you the truth, not necessarily what you want to hear. Together, we’ll evolve what you have into a purpose-led, high-performing business with an aligned, accountable team - set up for long-term success.
