You started your business to follow your passion. But with growth comes growing pains.

You’re wondering how to boost sales and earn more while also working fewer hours.

You want to bring on more staff, but you’re not sure who to hire or how to delegate all the things you do to other people.

Maybe you get to Thursdays and wonder when you’re going to find time to work on your business..

And the hardest part? 

Figuring things out by trial and error without ever really knowing what’s the right way forward. 

But today you can change all that.

Imagine if you had... 

  • A good understanding of your business goals and a clear path to achieving them.

  • A clear understanding of the value you offer and what sets you apart from the crowd.

  • The ability to consistently hit and exceed your revenue goals.

  • Clarity about your business growth strategy.

  • Systems and processes in so you’re able to easily delegate tasks to your team. 

  • More time on your calendar so you can choose to work on your business or to take an afternoon off.

Sound like a faraway dream? Then it’s time we met!

Hi there, I’m Denyse

A former CEO, I specialise in helping women-led business owners realise their business goals and achieve strong, steady, sustainable business growth.

With over 25 years of senior management and leadership experience under my favourite Sézane belt, my purpose is to give you the strategic know-how and tools and to achieve your goals and grow your business with confidence.

How? My strategy first approach to business.

A strategy first approach means you can say goodbye to the endless cycle of DIY’ing your business which stops female founders from achieving strong, steady, sustainable business growth.

Instead you’ll put in place a strategic roadmap which takes your business from where it is now to the future you envisioned when you first started your business. 

Here are the results some of my clients have got from working with me

  • Lucia launched …

    … her ceramics business after her fashion job fell through due to the pandemic and she decided to follow her passion and start a ceramics brand.

    When early collections of her Spanish influenced tableware sold out, she hit the growing pains which came with fast growth.  I worked with her to stabilise cash flow so she could build her business safe and strong.

  • Natalie generated...

    … > £11,500/ month in recurring revenue by developing a subscription model for her sustainable flower business.

    When the pandemic struck, Natalie’s routes to market were closed. With help from a grant, she digitalised her business. She set a goal of achieving 250 subscriptions/ month which she achieved 3 months ahead of schedule. Natalie employed a marketing team, and this has sped up growth.

  • Tara paid herself...

    … ...3x what she did within 6 months of starting work with me after doubling the turnover of her marketing agency.

    We repositioned Tara’s agency to focus on working with companies in the green technology sector. This took courage and some serious soul searching. But by pruning, Tara’s agency was better able to stand out to her target client and her pipeline and her business grew as a result.
