For founders of growing tech and B2B service businesses with 3–25 employees
The work can’t move without you.
Your team is busy. But you’re still answering routine questions, checking work and making decisions that leave little time to grow the business.
Growth Bottleneck Intensive
Make one change. See what improves in 30 days.
A focused half-day working session for founders who want to grow but are still too involved in the day-to-day.
Get details of the next group when dates are confirmed.
What keeps taking time you meant to spend on growth?
- Proposals sit unsent until you approve them.
- Client work needs correcting before it can go out.
- Routine questions interrupt work only you can do.
- The same issue returns despite your efforts to fix it.
You may have hired more people or introduced better systems. Yet too much still needs your attention.
Growth Bottleneck Intensive
Bring one frustration. Work out what needs to change.
If you’re working harder but still feel stuck, you don’t have to figure out what’s wrong on your own.
Bring one thing that’s frustrating you or slowing your business down.
You don’t need to know what’s causing it.
We’ll look at what’s happening, explore what’s behind it and work out what needs to change first.
You’ll leave knowing what to do next, who needs to do it and how you’ll measure progress.
A focused half-day experience with up to six founders, with support to get your first change underway.
Come with a real problem. Leave with a first move.
01
Before
Spend 30 to 45 minutes describing what's happening, sharing a recent example, exploring its business impact and noting what you've tried. Juliette reviews your preparation to help narrow the scope. You don't need to diagnose the problem beforehand.
02
Half-day
Through guided exercises, group discussion and direct input from Juliette, investigate your issue, challenge assumptions, consider likely causes, choose a first change and build your action plan.
03
Day 7
A private 15-minute checkpoint with Juliette to review your initial action and address early difficulties.
04
Day 30
A 60-minute group progress review to compare results against your chosen measure and decide what to continue or adjust.
Make progress you can see in 30 days.
Instead of dealing with the same frustrations, start changing how the work gets done.
Over the next 30 days, you’ll work towards:
- Less coming back to you for decisions, checks and approvals.
- More work moving forward without needing your input.
- A measurable improvement in the issue you’ve chosen to address.
You’ll test one practical change, with support at Day 7 and a review at Day 30 to see what’s working and what needs adjusting.
Selected client results
What can change when the work stops coming back to the founder?
60 DAYS
Revenue back on track
We found that the sales issue went beyond delegation. New leadership and clearer ways of working put revenue back on track and helped the founder refocus on growth.
30%
More work approved first time
Clearer standards and rules about who could approve work reduced repeated checks. First-time approvals increased by 30%.
WEEK 8
Decisions moving without the founder
Clear ownership helped the team make more decisions without waiting for the founder’s final answer.
I learned why capable teams still wait for the leader to make decisions.
I’ve spent more than 15 years helping organisations including Shell, BP, HSBC and easyJet make changes involving people, processes and technology.
That experience helps me look at how people, processes and technology work together, rather than assuming the first explanation is the right one.
Today, I bring that perspective to founders of growing businesses, helping them examine what’s happening and choose a practical change to test.
The organisations named above are career context, not endorsements.
My approach
Find it. Fix it. Keep it working.
The Intensive uses four practical steps to understand what’s happening, decide what to change and measure the result.
- 01
Pinpoint
See where the work is getting stuck and what may be causing it.
- 02
emPOWER
Work out who needs to own which decisions.
- 03
Pattern
Identify a better way for the work to happen next time.
- 04
Protect
Decide what you’ll measure and how you’ll keep the change on track.
This is for you if…
- You have a team, but decisions and problems still come back to you.
- You've tried making changes, but too much still needs your attention.
- You're ready to try a practical change in the next seven days.
It’s probably not for you if you’re looking for a general productivity webinar, an instant fix for every problem in the business or someone else to implement the change for you.
Future Readiness
Looking at a bigger question about the future of your business?
The free Future Readiness Pre-Assessment is a focused 45-minute conversation to identify where the business may be least prepared, why it matters and what may need attention first.
It’s a separate route for founders exploring a broader question about their next stage of growth. The Intensive focuses on one situation affecting how your business runs.
