Ways to Work Together
Fractional Chief of Staff. Executive and personal support. Business organization and systems.
Designed around your priorities, your pace, and the level of engagement that fits your business.
Every leader's situation is different. Some need a strategic partner. Some need focused help on a single initiative. Some need order brought to their inbox, calendar, or business systems. Some just need a steady hand through a demanding season.
Whatever you're navigating, we'll design an engagement that fits — without unnecessary overhead, complexity, or long-term commitment.

Three Ways to Engage
Every engagement is scoped collaboratively in a free 30-minute consultation. The three models below are the typical shapes an engagement takes — though many evolve over time.
Model 1: Fractional and Ongoing Engagement
For leaders who need consistent, ongoing support — without adding a full-time hire.
Time commitment: 1-3 days per week
Typical duration: 3-12 months, month-to-month after 90 days
Best for: Founders and executives who need consistent operational, strategic, and people-focused support
What this looks like: Executive operations, cross-functional initiative leadership, strategic planning support, rhythm of business, board and investor communications, executive and leadership presentations
Model 2: Project-Based Engagement Support
For initiatives that need clear ownership and steady follow-through .
Time commitment: Varies by project scope and phase
Typical duration: 6-16 weeks, depending on scope
Best for: Leaders who need focused support on a specific, time-bound effort with a clear finish line
What this looks like: Annual planning facilitation, leadership offsite design and execution, operating cadence redesign, onboarding program build, internal communications overhaul, process documentation
Model 3: Short-Term & Transitional Support
For moments that require judgment, structure, and careful execution.
Time commitment: Concentrated; tailored to the situation
Typical duration: 30-90 days
Best for: Leaders entering a new role, navigating a significant transition, or managing an unusually demanding period
What this looks like: New-executive onboarding, leadership transition support, interim chief-of-staff coverage, fundraising or board prep cycles, reorganization rollouts, high-stakes launches or events
Not sure which model fits? Start with a Clarity Session — one focused conversation, one actionable plan, $500. It's the natural on-ramp to any engagement, and it stands on its own.
Discovery conversation: A free 30-minute consultation — or a Clarity Session — to understand what you’re navigating and where support would help.
Scoping & alignment: Within 1-2 weeks, we align on engagement model, scope, cadence, and initial priorities.
Engagement begins: I integrate quickly, meet the people I need to meet, and initiate progress within the first two weeks.
Regular check-ins: Review of priorities, progress, and what’s working — engagement stays relevant as needs change.
Wrap or evolve: As priorities shift, engagements scale, adapt, or wind down. No long-term retainers required.
How Engagements Unfold
-
Most engagements begin within 1-2 weeks of our initial conversation. Short-term and transitional engagements can often move faster.
-
Fractional engagements are priced as a monthly retainer based on scope and hours. Project-based and short-term engagements are priced as fixed fees tied to a defined scope. Specific rates are shared during the scoping conversation, once we've aligned on what the engagement actually looks like.
-
Primarily remotely, with on-site support available for key moments, such as leadership offsites, launches, or major milestones.
-
Yes — always. Confidentiality and discretion are non-negotiables.
-
Yes. Many clients start with a defined project and move into ongoing fractional support, or begin with fractional and scope down as needs shift. Flexibility is intentional.
-
Founders, executives, and senior leaders across a range of industries and stages — from early-stage startups to established enterprises. What's common across all clients: complex, fast-moving environments where execution matters.
-
Yes. Many clients find the line between professional and personal support blurry — and that's intentional. Inbox management, scheduling, personal task coordination, and household logistics are all within scope. If it's taking up mental bandwidth you'd rather spend elsewhere, it belongs in the conversation.
-
Fractional engagements typically run 3-12 months. Project-based engagements are scoped to the work, usually 6-16 weeks. Short-term engagements typically run 30-90 days.
-
A 90-day initial commitment for fractional support, so we can establish rhythm and momentum together. Project-based and short-term work are scoped to the engagement itself — no long-term retainers required.
-
Yes — the Clarity Session is designed exactly for this. It's a focused 1-2 week engagement with a clear deliverable, priced as a flat fee of $500. You'll walk away with a concrete picture of where you are and what you need — and a plan for how to move forward. It's the natural entry point into an ongoing or project-based engagement, but it stands on its own.
