Will you take a board seat?
This service is independent counsel. If a seat is needed, we agree terms separately. Many clients prefer the flexibility of advisory.
How does this differ from consulting?
You get short, practical involvement focused on decisions and leadership. No slide decks for their own sake. No team of juniors. Fast cycles.
How do we measure impact?
We agree indicators at the start. Typical ones are time to decision on critical items, meeting overrun, clarity of owners, and delivery on 30-60-90 plans. Reviewed monthly.
Can you support during a live crisis?
Yes. We set a decision drill, a 24-hour comms plan, and a clear next-day review. The aim is calm action, not noise.
Will you coach specific executives?
If it serves the board’s goals, yes. We keep clear boundaries and outcome-level reporting only.
Can you help improve board papers?
Yes. I provide a one-page template and coach authors to write to it. Options, risks, triggers, and the ask.
Do you work with new Chairs or first-time CEOs?
Often. We set decision cadence, a meeting rhythm that works, and a simple relationship map for the first 90 days.
What references can you share?
Short, anonymised snapshots and private references on request with permission.
