Become the Strategic Ops Leader Your Team (and CEO) Can Rely On
Get strategic, think bigger, and step into true operational leadership, with mentorship designed for your role.
Your Business Runs on You—Let’s Make Sure That’s by Choice, Not Necessity.
Most businesses don’t fail because of bad ideas—they fail because of bad systems. In our 1:1 Operational Mentoring, we’ll work together to streamline your processes, optimize your team, and build an operational strategy that allows you to scale without chaos.
People we have worked with
This Is for You If…
You’re an operations manager (or stepping into the role) and:
You want to feel less reactive and more in control
You’re ready to shift from “doing everything” to leading everything
You’re craving guidance from someone who understands how your brain works
You want to improve how you delegate, manage, and influence others
You’ve built solid systems, but you know they could be stronger
You’re tired of working in the shadows and want to show up as a true operator
You’re ambitious, but not in a loud way. You just want to do great work and be respected for it
You want your role to feel sustainable, impactful, and aligned with your strengths
If you’re ready to grow, not just manage, this is built for you.
This mentoring isn’t about hustle, heroics, or handling it all on your own. It’s about stepping into the kind of operational leadership that creates calm, clarity, and results, for you, your team, and your business.
This Isn’t for You If…
You’re an operations manager (or stepping into the role) and:
You’re looking for someone to do the work for you
You’re not interested in growing your leadership skills or changing how you work
You’re expecting instant results without putting in the reps
You want a course or step-by-step framework you can follow passively
You think “operations” just means clicking buttons and chasing tasks
You’re not open to feedback, reflection, or being challenged in the best possible way
If you’re not ready to reflect, be challenged, or grow into real leadership, this probably isn’t a good fit.
This mentoring is built for people who want to lead operations with clarity, ownership, and long-term impact, not just tick boxes or manage chaos better.

Hear What Our Clients Are Saying
You're in the right place if...
You’re not new to operations. You know how to get stuff done.
You’re the one people rely on when things get messy, and most days, you’re fine with that.
But lately, it’s starting to feel like:
You’re stuck between the founder’s big-picture ideas and the team’s day-to-day chaos.
You translate strategy into action, but you're rarely part of setting that strategy. You're expected to make things happen, without being fully looped in on where the business is going.
You have the ideas, but no one to bounce them off.
Your brain sees connections, gaps, and opportunities, but explaining them to someone who doesn’t think in systems takes so much energy. You just want someone who “gets it” without needing a 30-minute backstory.
You’re always in motion, but not always making progress.
Your days are full, your Slack is pinging, your to-do list is overflowing. But at the end of the week, you’re not sure what really moved the needle, or if you’re just keeping things from falling apart.
You’re expected to lead, but weren’t trained for it.
You’re managing people, timelines, delivery, but no one ever showed you how to delegate well, give strategic feedback, or coach others through complexity. So you do what most ops managers do: you just take on more.
You want to feel like a strategic partne, not just a task router.
You know you have the potential to do more. You just need support to step into it: a sounding board, a strategist, a mentor who can help you shift from being the glue to becoming the engine.
You’re starting to realise: more effort isn’t the answer.
What you need isn’t more hustle, it’s clarity, structure, and the confidence to lead. Not just to manage what’s already happening… but to shape what happens next.
You don’t need to hold it all together on your own anymore.
This mentoring gives you the structure, feedback, and strategy you’ve been missing, so you can lead with confidence, not chaos.
What You’ll Actually Get from 1:1 Ops Mentoring
This isn’t a course. It’s not coaching from someone who only knows theory.
This is strategic, real-time mentorship designed for operations professionals who want to
think bigger, lead stronger, and solve better, without needing to over-explain their role or their brain.
our approach
A Trusted Thinking Partner
Someone who
gets your operational brain, and can help you make it even sharper. You’ll stop second-guessing your decisions and start thinking more strategically, with a mentor who knows the terrain and speaks your language.
Stronger, Smarter Systems
Got a sticky team situation? Unclear on how to frame something to your CEO? You won’t wait two weeks to get answers. You’ll have quick, flexible access for when things come up, and they will.
Better Communication with Leadership
You’ll learn how to bridge the gap between your brain and your founder’s. That means presenting clearer ideas, influencing decisions, and showing up as the partner they’ve been looking for (but didn’t know how to develop).
Leadership Without Burnout
This is where delegation stops being scary. You’ll build confidence in how you lead others, hand off work without guilt, and stop defaulting to “I’ll just do it myself.”
Space to Think Bigger
You’ll finally have the breathing room to stop reacting, and start designing the systems, culture, and strategy that move the business forward.
Let's Chat About Your Systems
Growth Guarantee
I don’t offer fluff, filler, or frameworks that collect dust.
This mentoring is designed to create real traction in your role, from how you lead and delegate, to how you think, communicate, and solve problems. If, after the first month, you don’t feel like you’re thinking more strategically, leading with more confidence, or making meaningful progress, we’ll part ways, no hard feelings. No pressure. No awkward conversations. Just a clear, respectful off-ramp if it’s not the right fit.
Because I only want to work with people who know this is helping them grow.
“Before, I was erratic. Now I focus on what moves the business forward.”

Operations Manager, SwimTech
You’re Not Just Here to Keep Things Running,
You’re Here to Build What’s Next
You already know how to make things happen.
You’re the one who keeps the trains running, often without enough recognition, clarity, or space to think.
But being good at getting stuff done doesn’t mean you should have to figure everything out on your own.
That’s where this mentoring comes in.
We work together in a high-touch, low-friction container that fits around the reality of your role, not one that adds pressure to it. You’ll have regular 1:1 sessions with me (usually every two weeks), where we don’t just talk theory, we tackle the real challenges you're facing that week. That problem you’re dealing with right now?
We’ll solve it. Together.
And you won’t need to wait until our next call to get support. I’m available between sessions when something urgent comes up, whether it’s how to navigate a team dynamic, respond to a curveball from your CEO, or sense-check how you’re framing an idea. This isn’t a one-way download. It’s a strategic partnership with someone who gets how your brain works.
Every tool, framework, and system we develop is shaped around your business, not pulled from a generic playbook. This is support that adapts to your context, your communication style, and your goals. Whether it’s refining how you delegate, building better meeting rhythms, or finding the language to manage up with confidence, this mentorship is about helping you lead your way.
Most ops managers don’t need to “hustle harder” or take another course they don’t have time to finish.
What they need is someone who can meet them at their level, challenge their thinking, and make space for them to finally step into their full potential as a strategic operator.
That’s exactly what we do here.
Because when you have real support, you don’t just keep the business running, you help it move forward.
FAQS
I’m already running operations, why would I need mentoring?
Because you’re often expected to lead without support. This mentoring gives you a strategic sounding board, the tools to lead more confidently, and the structure to build real systems—not just keep things running.
Will this help me manage my team better?
Absolutely. We’ll work on delegation frameworks, communication strategies, and accountability systems so you’re not stuck chasing people, or doing everything yourself.
Is this just about systems, or do we cover leadership too?
Both. You’ll develop operational systems and grow your ability to lead, influence, and drive outcomes across the business. If you want to be seen as a strategic leader, not just the person who ‘keeps the wheels turning,’ this is for you.
What if my founder is chaotic or changing direction all the time?
Been there. We’ll build structure around the moving parts, help you manage up effectively, and create the internal clarity you need to lead, even when the vision isn’t always clear.
Will I be expected to follow a framework?
Nope. This isn’t a course or a rigid program. Every session is tailored to what’s happening in your world, real-time problem-solving with practical tools you can apply instantly.
