When something important needs more headspace, structure and ownership.
Whether you’re running a successful one-person business or part of a larger organisation, there are times when you need experienced support to work out what needs to happen next and someone who can actually make it happen!
Maybe there’s an important project that needs someone to take ownership of it. The way you’re working has become harder than it needs to be. You’re growing or going through a period of change. Or there are simply too many decisions, priorities and moving parts sitting with too few people.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Jen, a Business Consultant and Project Leader. I work with business owners and organisations that need an experienced second brain, additional capacity or someone to take ownership and get something important over the line.
I come into your business or organisation on a short-term or project basis to work out what needs to happen and when, take ownership of projects and moving parts, coordinate the people involved and keep things moving through to completion.
That could mean leading a project you don’t have the capacity to manage, improving a process or system that isn’t working, researching and implementing a new solution, documenting how things are done, putting better structure in place or helping you navigate a period of growth or change.
Sometimes you need someone to think alongside you. Sometimes you need someone to take something off your plate and get it over the line - I can do both.
How can I help?
You don’t necessarily need ongoing support or another permanent member of the team. Sometimes you need the right person, with the right experience, for a specific problem, project or period of growth. That’s why everything I offer is focused, defined and designed around what your business actually needs.
Decision & Direction Session
When you need to work something out.
A focused business consultation for when you’re facing a decision, problem or opportunity and need an experienced, independent perspective.
We’ll look at what’s happening, challenge assumptions, explore the options and work out the right way forward.
Business Blueprint
When you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to start.
A strategic review business to understand what’s working, what isn’t, where the current way of operating is creating friction and what needs attention first. You’ll come away with practical recommendations, clear priorities and a roadmap for what happens next.
Project Leadership
When something important needs to actually get done.
There’s an idea, objective or project that needs to move forward, but not enough capacity to lead it internally. I step in and take ownership. Depending on the project, that could mean researching options, creating the plan, coordinating teams/external suppliers, managing timelines, solving problems and keeping everything moving from idea through to delivery.
You get experienced, senior-level project leadership for a defined period – without the need to recruit someone permanently or manage me along the way..
The 90-Day Business Edit
When it isn’t just one thing - it’s several things across the business.
A focused 90-day period of senior-level support when the business is growing, changing or just has too many moving parts and not enough capacity to manage it all.
I’ll work out what’s happening, help identify what needs attention and work alongside you to move it forward - bringing structure, direction and additional leadership capacity where it’s needed most.
This isn’t a retainer or another pair of hands waiting for instructions. It’s experienced support, additional capacity or someone taking ownership where needed - for a defined period of time.
Business Consultant. Project Leader. Second brain when you need one.
My background spans more than 20 years across HR, people, operations, systems, learning and development, leadership and project work. I’ve also been self-employed for over a decade, so I understand both sides - the structure and complexity of established organisations and the reality of running a business where so much ultimately comes back to you. I’m naturally curious. I ask questions. I spot things. I research. I organise. I challenge when I think there’s a better way. And once we’ve worked out what needs to happen, I’m very comfortable rolling my sleeves up and making sure it does.
It’s that combination of thinking and doing that sits at the heart of The Business Edit.
