For founders of growing businesses with 3–25 employees
Your business is successful. So why does so much still come back to you?
You hired good people. Yet decisions still wait for you. Client issues still reach you. Work still comes back for a final check.
I help founders see why they’re stuck in the detail and decide what to change first.
It often looks like this.
- Someone asks, "Can you take a quick look?"
- A client wants you on the call.
- A decision waits until you reply.
- Work comes back because only you know if it is ready.
- You step away and something slows down.
None of this means your team is lazy or incapable.
It means there is still work in the business that depends on you more than you want it to.
What if you only stepped in where it mattered?
Imagine your team making more decisions confidently.
Work moving without needing your input every time.
You stepping in where your judgement matters most.
I learned this by watching how work really moves.
For more than 15 years, I have led major business and technology change in large global companies, including Shell, BP and HSBC.
Different size. Same human problem.
Good people can still get stuck when it is not clear who should decide, what they can do without asking, or what good work looks like.
Now I help founders spot where work keeps coming back to them and change what happens next.

Case study
Why the founder kept stepping into sales
The sales team was missing its targets, so the founder kept stepping back in to check the work.
We traced where sales was getting stuck and why. This showed that delegation was not the real issue: the Head of Sales was not turning performance around, and the team lacked clear roles, processes and standards.
That clarity led to a change in leadership. Within 60 days a new Head of Sales and team members were recruited, with stronger ways of working introduced.
Revenue was back on track and the founder could refocus on growing the business.
Growth Bottleneck Intensive
Bring one issue that keeps coming back
The Growth Bottleneck Intensive is a live half-day working session for founders who want to understand why one recurring issue keeps reaching them and decide what to change first.
It runs as a small group of up to 6 founders, and you leave with a clear 30-day plan.
You might bring:
- a decision that always waits for you
- a client issue that keeps reaching you
- work you keep checking before it goes out
- a problem that keeps coming back even after you thought it was fixed
You leave with:
- one clear issue to work on
- a better view of what is keeping it stuck
- the first change to make
- a clear owner for what happens next
- a simple 30-day plan
- a private 15-minute review with Juliette within 7 days
Why 6 founders: the session is built around real issues and direct feedback. Six keeps the group useful without making your issue feel rushed.
What happens after the Intensive?
You may have everything you need to continue on your own.
If you want more hands-on help putting the change into place, we can decide the right next step during your 15-minute review.
This is for you if:
- you have a team, but too much still reaches you
- you want to grow without becoming the answer to everything
- you keep seeing the same kinds of problems
- you want to work on one real issue, not collect more ideas
It is probably not for you if you only want general productivity tips or a passive webinar.
