getting started

There can be few things more exciting than starting up your own business. It’s a huge leap of faith that’s going to demand a lot of work, complete commitment and a certain amount of stress. Is it really such a good idea: have you got what it takes and is it going to work?

how we work

we can help

We have been there not once, but several times. With 40 years in the creative industry, we have established and managed businesses from start-up to profitable operation. We have earned our stripes but we are not quite ready to step aside yet. We would like to help you.

Wouldn’t it’s be great to have someone to talk to, to run your ideas by, and to get things into shape? To help you solve problems, develop strategies and powerful presentations? Sometimes just to share some coffee and have a chat?

 

We are not management consultants or business coaches. We are creative people who speak your language and think as you do. We offer a fresh perspective, a wealth of experience and the expertise to help you get things done.


We cannot teach people anything;

we can only help them discover it

within themselves.


– Galileo Galilei

what we do

From generating initial ideas to delivering final projects is a steep learning curve. You are an expert in your field, but these can be new and unfamiliar challenges. Sometimes it will be more than just finding answers: first you need to formulate the questions. There is no shortage of expertise available, but time is money and both may be in short supply.

Perhaps you need help with ideas generation, proposals and business plans? Maybe you would like some objective feedback throughout the evolution of your project, from preliminary ideas to final prototypes? You may appreciate practical tips on technique as you prepare and practice your pitch, or someone who can write and edit compelling collateral documentation?

 

 

 

 

The guidance of a mentor, an experienced professional in your field, can provide both the advice and the empathy that you need to stay on track. Our first-hand experience enables us to walk through the process with you, to identify the problems and help find solutions.

In addition, we bring a quite specific set of skills to the table. Our professional training and practical expertise in counselling and therapy adds a further dimension to our input; ensuring that both you and your project remain in great shape.

Our objective is to build an enduring relationship that will prevail beyond start-up to a  successful and sustainable venture. When you decide that you no longer need us, our work is done.

We agree full nondisclosure from

the outset so that you can be sure

that your project remains safe with

us. Our engagement will be strictly

confidential. Thereafter we are on

hand, as and when you need us.
