STRATEGIC ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAMME - GROUP WORK:

Designers' Boardroom - is a year-long strategic container for established designers. You join a cohort of up to ten peers and meet monthly in a board-meeting format, reviewing performance, setting targets, and staying accountable to your ambitions. It brings structure, clarity, and grown-up discipline to your business year. Speak to me to work alongside existing friends and colleagues, or join a mixed group of like-minded, collaborative and ambitious entrepreneurs. 

A PERSONAL STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME - 1-to-1:

Boardroom Bespoke - is a 12-month private advisory partnership focused on measurable change.

Over the year, we work together to elevate your business - commercially, creatively, operationally and emotionally. We’ll set meaningful goals, track your progress, and build momentum so that by December you can look back on tangible developments and forward movement in the areas that matter most to you.

Your journey begins with the Hothouse Signature Success Scan™ - my trademarked framework that assesses your business across six core domains: inner leadership, client trust, commercial engine, operational backbone, creative output, and visibility. This gives us a comprehensive starting point for the year and a clear map of what will make the biggest difference to your growth. Every month we’ll use this framework to guide your priorities, track your progress and keep you focused on high-value actions that move your business forward.

This is the highest-touch, highest-impact container I offer. It draws on my first year operating Hothouse and on the power of clarity and ambition aligned with strategy, sustained through consistent attention and application.

Boardroom Bespoke blends structured planning, strategic interventions, leadership development, and relentless follow-through.

Maximum four Boardroom Bespoke places are available at any one time. Let me know if you'd like to chat about this intensive programme.
