Identify and overcome the invisible problems in your business

I BELIEVE THAT…

We all experience invisible problems, and the best way to overcome them is to fully understand the route cause.

WHAT’S AN INVISIBLE PROBLEM?

Invisible problems often show up as a hard to articulate feeling that something just isn’t quite right. By their very nature they can feel like “no big deal” or something you should “just get over”, but they are real, they are challenging, and they need an open-minded and curious approach to identify and overcome.

WHAT TO EXPECT

When we work together, it’s you and me against the problem.

JUDGEMENT-FREE

Uncovering invisible problems means we need to go deep to find the route cause. We’ll explore what the problem is, when it shows up, and how it impacts you.

At every stage I invite you to share openly and honestly in a judgement-free space. Truthfully, I do this work because of the invisible problems in my past - I know how difficult they can be!

COLLABORATION

We are using our collective strengths, skills, and knowledge to overcome a barrier together. This is a collaborative process from start to finish, while we work together it is our problem.

To find the most effective solution, I need your expertise just as much as you need mine.

CREATIVITY

One-of-a-kind problems need one-of-a-kind solutions. While I work using a set of tried and tested principles, the solutions and strategies created for you will be adapted and modified for your circumstances.

I’ll blend industries, disciplines, and out-of-the-box approaches to help you overcome your invisible problem for good!

MY METHODOLOGY

No matter how big or small your invisible problem, we’ll work together in three stages:

1. RESEARCH

Can’t solve the problem if you don’t know what the problem is!

This stage starts with a simple conversation, and may include:

Literature reviews;
Interviews;
Questionnaires;
Reviewing systems/processes;
Analysing your data; and
Anything else required to get to the route cause!

2. STRATEGY

You know what the problem is, now it’s time to overcome it. Based on the results of the research phase, I’ll get to work on creating a step-by-step actionable plan for you to work through.

This plan may include:

Exercises and practices;
Theory and research summaries;
Product and service recommendations;
Templates;
Key milestones

3. SUPPORT

You’ve got your plan, but we all know it’s nicer to walk with company. Depending on your unique situation, I’ll provide on-going support to help you make the changes you need to reach your biggest goals.

Your support package may include:

Coaching calls and accountability;
Creating and implementing new systems;
Invitations to group sessions;
Review sessions and tweaks to the initial strategy based on results

HAPPY CLIENTS

Without fail, every person interviewed in depth about the project drew attention to the positivity of the project officer as one of the main reasons for the successes of the project. The qualities they repeatedly and consistently drew attention to as the vital characteristics impacting on the project were: enthusiasm and the ability to generate / increase enthusiasm in others; getting people on board with the project (both in terms of numbers of people, and inspiring commitment); a spirit of encouraging sharing and learning from one-another rather than top-down instruction; explaining and showing people the benefits of their activity – being clear about why it was important; clear explanations of what to do and getting hands-on herself; showing that every individual’s help makes a big difference and being authentic about valuing that; making an effort to be inclusive and ensure the project was accessible for a wide range of people; raising awareness of the work across a range of local people and partners; and being efficient with quick responses and delivering what was agreed, on time, without needing reminders or supervision.

Improving Clifton Beck’s Water - Full Evaluation Report, Sally Fort, 2018
It sounds really cheesy, but it’s been an absolute game changer. Not just for business, but like, my whole life! My brain feels empty and I feel much more chilled in the in-between moments. When I’m not actually working I can switch off more from the business. I know that everything’s fine. And when things do pop into my head, it’s fine because I’ve got a system now where I can just dump it and then get back to it. It’s not just gone and forgotten. It’s been absolutely incredible, and I can’t believe how much I’ve got done this week. Things that normally just wouldn’t get done. I highly, highly recommend getting in touch with Seonaidh, because it’s been just life changing, as cheesy as that sounds!

I signed up for the VIP Week because I was feeling really overwhelmed with the day to day, lack of, productivity. I’m running a start-up, so how much work I get done will, in part, determine how successful it is. I knew the basics of Asana and had been using it (in a non-effective way), so completely deconstructing how I had been doing it, and starting again, a better way, although it was tricky to get used to, has been so worth it, and the best way for me to stop, and start again. Now, with some suggestions of other tools, that really compliment my ADHD way of thinking and working, I am much more able to get stuck into a productive day or work. Seonaidh has gone above and beyond to help me, and I couldn’t have asked for a more lovely person to meet out of this.

Yesterday I had my second session with Seonaidh. Every moment of it was so worthwhile. The reason I booked my first session with her was I listened to her mindset Series: Embrace the Dork Side. At one point she asks us to think about something we are proud of, an accomplishment of our own. I could not think of a single one. I realized that I had gone from a bubbly, positive person to someone who couldn't even think of one positive thing about herself. So I booked a session with Seonaidh. And we talked she gave me some homework, and I did it. I booked a follow-up with her because I thought it might take a few sessions to get myself together. At the follow up yesterday, I (without realizing it) spent 20 minutes talking about everything that I have accomplished, am proud of in the last 3 months. I didn't realize how much I had changed my mindset. How easy it was when I put in the work (not talking hours a day, talking being mindful) Seonaidh helped me rediscover the person I am. The person I love to be. The side benefits are also pretty good. I am sleeping better, I am more productive and I have started to care about myself again. Bought a pair of pants with a button fly and not a drawstring. This is awesome! So if you are thinking about booking a session with Seonaidh, do it! She is amazing and you will be so glad to have done this for yourself. So worth every penny!

I hired Seonaidh for two projects within the IPIA, the pole industry’s first trade association. I was too close the the projects—one in marketing and one in survey creation—to think critically about them and the longer I procrastinated about them, inexplicably, no progress actually happened. I knew Seonaidh would be a good fit for working on both projects with her background in both corporate and pole worlds but I had no idea just how insightful, thorough, and well-documented her recommendations would be. I’m blown away by the level of thought-provoking suggestions she provided that really went above and beyond my expectations for both of these projects. Her advice will undoubtedly help the pole industry continue to move forward in a meaningful way.
