You’ve got a business you really believe in.

Let’s get it growing.

Hi there!

I’m Jude - strategic growth partner for founder led businesses. I work with business owners who have built something they’re passionate about - and then got a bit stuck. Wearing all the hats, spinning all the plates, in the weeds daily, and wondering when this thing is going to take off. If it’s going to take off.

We go back to the foundations that growth is actually built on: your product or service, your positioning and proposition, your people and your processes. We work out what’s not working, and then we fix it. We keep things simple, we do the basics brilliantly, and we get you ready for the next level.

Let’s have a chat to see if we’re a good fit.

BOOK A CALL

If you’re nodding along to any of the following - it’s time to get some help...

You’re fed up and frustrated. You know you’ve got what it takes to scale your business. You’re brilliant at what you do, you know people need and want what you’re selling - and yet, something’s not quite landing and sales are intermittent. Some months are great, some months it’s crickets. You need more stability.

You’re stuck in delivery mode. You’re in the day-to-day weeds of getting the work done and out the door. You’re managing clients, customers, logistics, and everything just feels a bit fly by the seat of your pants. As a result, you have no time to think about your business growth strategy.

The business ‘just kind of grew’ and you just kind of went along with it, without having the time to think about the key pillars or foundations - what your business is, who it’s for and how you talk about it. Now the cracks are starting to show and you can’t keep up. You need to stabilise and get some clarity and structure in place.

You’re carrying it all on your own. All the decisions, the worry, the strategy. You need someone who can help you zoom out and see the bigger picture. You need more than a business advisor, you need a thinking partner who can bring out the very best in you - and the business.

You might need a proper diagnostic; a clear picture of what's working, what's not, and where to focus first. You might need a day out of the office to think about your business properly, with someone in the room to think it through with you. Or you might need ongoing support, with regular check-ins, a thinking partner, someone to share the load as you grow.

Whichever route makes sense, our work together is about the same thing: untangling the spaghetti, deciding what to do next, and helping you feel excited about your business again.

Here’s how we can work together

Business Audit

A full diagnostic across the four foundations of your business: Proposition, Product, Processes and People. You'll come away with a clear picture of what's working, what's not, and a prioritised roadmap of what to fix first.

Best for: Founders who know something's not working but can't see it clearly.

What’s it like working with me?

  • "We’ve had the absolute joy of working with Jude for almost 2 years now, and I honestly don’t know how we ever functioned without her. Jude is a a force of nature. She brings brilliance, creativity, and clarity to everything she touches. She has this magical ability to take the chaos of ideas, half-finished drafts, and “we should really do this sometime” thoughts, and turn them into powerful, polished, and purposeful strategy. She keeps us accountable (in the kindest way possible), cheers us on when we need it most, and somehow always knows when to push and when to pause. She is our "calm". She’s smart, witty, thoughtful, and wildly talented. And on top of it all, she’s just an incredible human being. Her energy is contagious, her positivity is grounding, and her presence has made us stronger, more focused, and a whole lot more joyful. We adore and trust her. And we are so grateful for her."

    Gail M. - Strategic Growth Partnership

  • “Jude is brilliant! She has bags of enthusiasm to fire you up when necessary. She’s smart and pragmatic and held me to account when the real work needed to be done. She always managed to be several steps ahead of me and was able to offer hugely useful advice. Enthusiastic and full of confidence, she is a great person to work with. Thanks so much for all your help and encouragement, Jude.”

    Angus M. - Business Coaching & Strategy

  • "After working in a creative field for over 15 years, I started to feel both stuck and overwhelmed. Prior to working with Jude, I was undercharging, over capacity and constantly scrambling to make things work. Jude helped bring direction and process to my business. From our first call I knew hiring her was the best thing I could have done. She put me at ease and brought positive energy to every session. I left each call feeling inspired and excited. I now have structure and the tools needed to streamline my business so I can focus on doing what I love. Jude also gave me the confidence to align my pricing with the value I provide. Who doesn’t want that?! I’m so thankful to have found Jude. I would highly recommend Jude to any creative business looking to grow. She is a true gem!"

    Erin M. - Business Coaching & Strategy

  • "I wanted to reposition my business, and I could feel my brain getting tangled up, second-guessing itself and overcomplicating things. So when Jude offered a two-hour clarity session to help me move forward, it felt like EXACTLY what I needed. Jude is brilliant at holding space, asking the right questions, holding up a mirror up to things you can’t see for yourself, and offering insight and ideas. By the end of our session, I realised that the way forward was FAR simpler than I was making it out to be. Two hours with Jude got rid of the doubt I was feeling, and gave me a shortcut to some important realisations that probably would have taken me several weeks (and a ton of wasted effort) to get to on my own. Thanks so much, Jude!"

    Alice R. - Strategic Clarity Session

  • Jude steered us through massive conversations, bringing us back on track when we needed it, and helped craft a fantastic document of thoughts, ideas, and plans. Without her, we would have been stuck in the weeds for weeks! She facilitated with purpose and humour and if, as a group, we got distracted by a side-topic conversation, Jude would spot the most useful parts, write them down for later, and then guide us back to the main focus. It gave us room to talk, room to explore ideas, but kept us on track enough to get things done.

    Billy M - Strategy Session for a Tech Startup

  • The session was incredibly productive. Having an independent facilitator brought structure and insight that would not have otherwise been possible. It's very easy to get stuck in the weeds, make assumptions and lose focus when it's just the normal contributors, and having Jude there to dig a little deeper, and give a timely nudge, was invaluable. I am (was) a sceptic when it comes to facilitation, following less successful previous experiences. I can honestly say that Jude has changed my mind on what can be achieved with a good facilitator to lead the meeting.

    Antony R - Faciliated Strategy Session

  • "I sat down and looked at the notes from our session again yesterday. SO brilliant. The session with you and the follow up have been so incredibly timely and useful. It's given me a whole new - and much more clear - perspective on the way forwards. Thank you so much."

    Daisy O. - Strategy Session

  • I attended a two hour business strategy session with Jude and in her calm, spacious way, we were able to explore my ideas without pressure, yet with real purpose and direction. Spending time with Jude like this has completely reignited and reinvigorated my business. She is an expert facilitator who is ablet to gently but skilfully get to the root of things and make clear sense of the muddle of words that often come tipping out of my mouth. Even in the final ten minutes, she drew out ideas and insights that will now shape my next steps. I've come away with a plan that makes absolute sense and that clarity has given me the confidence to get started. If you're a solopreneur in need of direction and spark to get your mojo back, Jude is your woman.

    Adrienne S. - Business Strategy Session

  • I came to Jude looking for clarity on who I am as a consultant: what problem I actually solve, and how to position myself. A friend suggested I have a chat with her. We spoke for an hour. Within 24 hours, she sent me a document that I genuinely read with my mouth open. She reflected back things I hadn't spotted myself: the themes, the patterns, the thread running through my whole career. And she didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. She gave me questions that properly challenged my thinking. If she can do that for me in one hour, I can only imagine what she could do with a business over two, six or ten months.

Got questions about growing your business? Here are a few we prepared earlier!

  • A business growth consultant helps you work out what's going to make the biggest difference to your business and how to make it happen. That might mean getting clearer on your proposition, identifying new opportunities, improving how your business operates or simply figuring out what's getting in the way. I work alongside founders and business owners to bring fresh perspective, challenge assumptions and turn good ideas into practical plans that actually get implemented.

  • Sometimes the problem is obvious. More often, it's a combination of things that are difficult to see when you're right in the thick of running the business. You might have a brilliant product that isn't quite reaching the right people, a team that's stretched too thin or processes that have become unnecessarily complicated. We'll take a proper look at what's happening across your business, identify where the real opportunities lie and work out what to tackle first.

  • Business strategy is about the bigger picture: where you want to take your business, how you're going to get there and what needs to happen along the way. Brand strategy is about how you position your business in the market, who you're talking to and why people should choose you over the alternatives. They're closely connected, which is why I often work across both. After all, there's not much point having a brilliant growth plan if nobody understands what makes your business worth buying from.

  • Growing a business doesn't always mean finding more customers or generating more revenue. Sometimes the biggest opportunities are already sitting right under your nose. It could be improving your pricing, doing more work with existing clients, simplifying your services or getting rid of processes that are costing you time and money. My approach is about helping you build a stronger, more profitable business without making life unnecessarily complicated.

  • A brand audit is an opportunity to take a good, objective look at how your business is showing up in the world. We'll explore your positioning, proposition, messaging and how consistently you're communicating what makes you different. It's particularly useful if your business has evolved, your website no longer reflects what you do or you're struggling to explain why someone should choose you. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of what's working, what isn't and what needs to change.

  • What got your business to where it is today isn't necessarily what will get it to the next level. As businesses grow, the things that used to work brilliantly can start creating problems. Roles become blurred, processes get messy and founders find themselves spending more time firefighting than moving the business forward. I use my 4Ps framework (Product, Proposition, People and Process) to help you get the foundations right, identify your priorities and create a practical strategy for sustainable growth.
