Businesses don't
fail to grow.
They fail to
decide to grow.

The gap between where your business is and what it's capable of isn't a talent gap. Let's close it.

Where I
Can Help

The right support depends on where you are. Founder-led businesses need different things from board-led ones. Both need clarity, honest data, and a goal ambitious enough to be worth building toward.

Founder-Led Businesses
01

3x in 3 Years Programme

Most founder-led businesses are capable of far more than they achieve — not because of a talent gap, but because the decision-making foundations simply aren't there. The question isn't whether 3x growth in 3 years is possible. It's whether your business is ready for it. The free readiness assessment takes an honest look at where your business stands today — what's working, what's missing, and what's quietly holding you back. If the foundations are there, or close enough to build on, we'll know. If they're not, you'll know exactly what needs to change first.

Business Mentoring

One-to-one mentoring built around your specific challenges. Whether you're navigating a critical decision, trying to break through a growth plateau, or simply need someone in your corner who has seen it all before — I work alongside you to cut through complexity, challenge your assumptions, and build a clear path forward. Direct, practical, and entirely focused on your business.

I've found Jonathan Cozens to be an incredibly supportive, insightful, and generous mentor. He listens carefully, asks the right questions, and challenges me in a constructive way that has helped me think more clearly and confidently. His experience and perspective have been invaluable, and I always come away from our conversations with practical takeaways and renewed focus. I'm genuinely grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him as a mentor.

Board-Led Businesses

3 Year Objective Setting

Most established businesses set their annual targets by looking backwards — adjusting last year's numbers by a percentage that feels ambitious without being uncomfortable. Working with your leadership team, we set a genuinely ambitious three year goal and build the execution plan back from there. The result is a business that knows exactly where it's going and why — and a leadership team aligned behind a shared destination rather than a spreadsheet.

Management Information Audit

Good decisions require good data. Most businesses think they have it — until someone asks the right questions. A Management Information Audit examines the quality, completeness and reliability of the information your leadership team uses to run the business. We identify where your data is strong, where it's misleading, and where it simply doesn't exist. The output is a clear picture of what you're working with — and a practical roadmap for turning your business information into genuine decision-making power.

We originally engaged with Jonathan to help us address some apparent scalability issues in the business. He helped us see past them by challenging our existing growth goals and helped clarify the kinds of changes necessary to achieve significantly better results in a worthwhile timescale. His focus on business strategy and long term outcomes helped us put our growing pains into context and reach some critically important decisions on achieving meaningful growth.
