FemPowered Advisory

Clearer thinking. Better decisions. Experienced support beside you.

Building and leading a business can be complex. Sometimes you need someone experienced to challenge your thinking, share the load and help you navigate the decisions, people and priorities that matter most.

FemPowered Advisory gives you experienced business and leadership support, at the level your business needs.

FEMPOWERED ADVISORY · THREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

The right level of support, when you need it.

FemPowered Advisory offers three ways to work together, depending on what’s happening in your business and how much support you need. Choose an experienced thinking and accountability partner, practical support to get something specific done, or experienced leadership embedded alongside your team.

Business Partner on Demand

My role

Your experienced thinking & accountability partner

The support

Strategic perspective, challenge and accountability to help you make good decisions — and follow through on them.

Investment

$2,200 + GST / month

Our rhythm

90 minutes of focused advisory every fortnight.

How we’ll work together

Regular space to step out of the day-to-day, work through decisions and challenges, and keep moving with clarity and perspective. We’ll agree what happens next and keep you accountable for moving it forward.

This could be right for you if…

You want an experienced sounding board who knows your business, challenges your thinking and gives you the accountability to keep moving.

Business Partner+

My role

Your thinking + implementation partner

The support

Thinking plus practical support around a specific project, challenge or people issue.

Investment

Scoped around the work. Let’s talk.

Our rhythm

Dedicated weekly support to move one defined piece of work forward.

How we’ll work together

We choose something specific that needs moving and work on it together — combining experienced thinking with practical support to build it, solve it or get it done.

This could be right for you if…

There’s something specific in the business that needs more than advice — you want an experienced partner to help you actually move the work forward.

Embedded Business Partner

My role

Part of your business & leadership team

The support

Experienced leadership working alongside you and your team.

Investment

Scoped around the level of support you need. Let’s talk.

Our rhythm

Typically one day a week embedded in your business for a defined period.

How we’ll work together

I step further into the business alongside you — working with your leadership team, joining key conversations, supporting your people and helping lead through change or complexity.

This could be right for you if…

You need experienced leadership inside the business for a period of time — working alongside you and your team to help make things happen.

Support that changes as your business does.

What you need now might not be what you need six months from now. You might start with a Business Partner on Demand, then need more hands-on support when there’s something specific to tackle together. Or you might need me embedded in the business for a period of change, before stepping back into lighter-touch support.

The relationship can flex as your business does.

Not sure where you fit? Let’s book a chat and talk about what’s happening in your business. We’ll work out the right level of support from there.

In her words

“Probably the most valuable hour I've had. No one has ever suggested looking at it this way before. Instead of jumping to solutions, you've given me a way to understand the actual problem.”

CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW ADVISORY WORKS?

First, we make sense of what’s really going on.

Before we make a plan, I want to understand you and your business properly.

Every Advisory relationship starts with a Business & Leadership Deep Dive. We’ll get underneath the day-to-day — how the business works, what’s driving you, what you’re trying to create, where things feel messy and what might be getting in the way.

Because often, the challenge you arrive with isn’t the whole story.

I’m good at taking the chaos, ideas and passion inside a business and turning them into clarity, structure and a plan. But that starts with understanding what matters to you — not imposing somebody else’s version of what your business should look like.

From there, we work out where we’re going, what needs to change and the clearest path forward.

Then we get to work.
