Consulting for small business owners

The Power Hour

Something in your business only works when you’re in the room. Bring it to one focused hour, and leave with a written plan to fix it, in your inbox within 48 hours.

What This Is

A working session. Not a sales call.

You bring one problem that keeps landing back on your desk. We spend sixty minutes on it. You leave with a decision and a plan, and the plan arrives in writing within 48 hours.

For 30 years I’ve been the person brought in when projects stall, rollouts fail, and teams hold on to the old way. The pattern behind your problem is almost certainly one I’ve fixed before. You don’t need a twelve-week engagement to find it. You need one hour with someone who already has.

Sound familiar?

  • Every decision still lands on your desk, and the team waits.
  • A project has dragged for months and nobody owns the finish line.
  • You rolled out new software and the team went back to the spreadsheet.
  • One person leaving would break billing, onboarding, or a key client.
  • Client “quick favors” keep eating the margin you priced in.
How It Works

This Is For You If

Your business has outgrown “just ask me”

  • You own or run a business of 10 to 100 people
  • Something only works when you’re personally involved
  • A project, rollout, or process is stuck and you can’t see why
  • You’re about to roll out a big change and want it to stick the first time
  • You want an experienced outside eye before you hire, buy software, or restructure
Not For You If
  • You want ongoing support. Ask about a bigger engagement instead.
  • You want the fix put in place with your team. That’s a done-with-you engagement, also available.
  • You’re looking for general business or life coaching.

Need hands-on help?

Most owners start with a Power Hour. When the problem needs hands-on work, we scope the next step together.

Done-with-you fix

We put the systems in place with your team: decision rules, a weekly project rhythm, written processes, or a rollout plan for new software. You end up with a business that runs without you in every decision.

Build your project or change team

Ready for a dedicated function? I help growing firms stand up a project management office or change management practice, with the processes, templates, and training it runs on.

Who I Am

30 years of fixing what keeps businesses stuck

I’ve run the rollouts, untangled the stalled projects, and rebuilt the processes that only one person understood. I’m certified in PMP®, ITIL®, OCM, and CSM, but you don’t need to know what any of that means. You just need someone who has seen your problem before and knows what fixes it.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need to know project management terms?

No. Describe the problem in plain language. Translating it into a fix is my job.

What if my problem is bigger than an hour?

Then I’ll tell you in the session, and we’ll use the time to scope what it actually needs. You’ll still leave with a plan, and if you want help putting it in place, we can talk about a done-with-you engagement.

Can I bring my business partner or a manager?

Yes. Up to two people from your business, at no extra cost.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Send it before the session.

What if I need to reschedule?

No problem with 24 hours’ notice.

Can I pay through the business?

Yes. You’ll get an itemized receipt at checkout for your books. If you need a formal invoice before paying, email me first and we’ll sort it out.

What if I’ve never worked with a consultant before?

Then the intake questions do the hard part for you. Answer them honestly and show up. That’s all this needs.

You bring the problem. I bring the pattern.
