This work is usually right for you if:

• You are the founder or owner-leader of a business

• Your company is £5M+ and growing, but feels heavier than it used to

• You’re still close enough to the business to feel where things aren’t quite working

• The team is capable, but alignment and execution aren’t consistent

• Decisions feel slower, more draining, or more complex than before

• You’re carrying more context, responsibility, and pressure than is sustainable

• You value calm, honest thinking over hype, noise, or theory

You don’t need motivation.
You need clarity, alignment, and momentum.

The founders I work with tend to share a few things in common:

• They take responsibility rather than outsource blame

• They want the truth, not reassurance

• They’re open to addressing people and leadership issues at the root

• They care about how the business feels to run, not just how it looks on paper

• They want progress — not drama, not delay

They’re not failing.

They’re usually at an inflection point.

Being clear here protects everyone’s time.

This work is not for you if:

• You’re looking for surface-level inspiration without action

• You want someone to tell you what you want to hear

• You’re unwilling to address leadership or people issues directly

• You want long reports, complex models, or off-the-shelf programmes

• You’re outsourcing responsibility rather than staying engaged

This work is practical, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable — but it moves things forward.

While much of my work is with founder-led businesses, I also work with owner-led dental practices through Lighthouse Training — applying the same leadership and execution principles in a highly practical, sector-specific way.

The environments differ.
The leadership challenges are the same.
