Mentoring for agency founders and senior leaders

You spend much of your time supporting other people. It helps to have someone you can turn to as well.

I provide confidential one-to-one mentoring for founders and senior leaders in events and brand experience. We make time to work through the decisions, relationships and pressures that come with leading a business.

Bring the real issues

A difficult client, a change in the team, a growth decision you keep putting off or a sense that the business needs something different from you.

We can explore what deserves your attention, where to delegate and how to develop the people around you. I bring experience, practical advice and honest challenge. The decisions remain yours.

I bring the experience of founding and leading an agency for 19 years, including the responsibility for clients, people and commercial decisions.

What you can expect

  • Regular one-to-one conversations focused on your priorities.
  • A monthly session of up to 90 minutes, with support between meetings within agreed availability.
  • Space to speak openly and test your thinking.
  • Actions and decisions to revisit as we work together.
  • Relevant introductions where helpful and agreed.

A relationship built on trust

We agree your objectives, the meeting format and confidentiality arrangements at the start. If your employer funds the mentoring, we also agree what, if anything, is shared with them.

The focus is you and your leadership. If a challenge needs work with the wider business, we can discuss separate advisory or fractional support.

Is it right for you

This is for agency owners, managing directors and senior commercial, growth or client leaders who value an experienced outside perspective.

We discuss the format, commitment and fee after establishing what you need and whether we are a good fit.
