CEO, Founder & Chair Advisory
Service Description
Purpose This service provides confidential, high-level advisory support to CEOs, founders, and chairs carrying ultimate responsibility for people, performance, reputation, and long-term direction. It is designed for leaders operating in complexity — where decisions cannot be delegated, consequences are material, and clarity is often hard-won. What This Advisory Focuses On • Strategic decision-making under pressure • Navigating ambiguity, risk, and competing accountabilities • Leadership judgement where formal authority meets moral responsibility • Founder or CEO transition, growth, or consolidation phases • Holding the boundary between personal leadership and organisational need This is not coaching. It is not mentoring. It is thinking partnership at the point of responsibility. How the Work Is Done Advisory support is delivered through structured, confidential conversations that allow leaders to: • Test assumptions • Surface blind spots • Clarify options and consequences • Strengthen decision confidence without false certainty Where appropriate, advisory work may extend into: • Preparation for board or stakeholder engagement • Complex decision mapping • Governance or organisational interface issues Who This Is For • CEOs and founders with material accountability • Chairs managing board dynamics and executive performance • Leaders seeking clarity, not reassurance This service is suitable where discretion, experience, and judgement matter more than speed or scale.
Cancellation Policy
Purpose of the Session The Initial Advisory Conversation is a 30-minute online meeting offered to establish context, assess alignment, and determine whether senior advisory support would be appropriate. This session is intended for CEOs, founders, Chairs, Board members, and senior leaders carrying significant responsibility. Availability Initial Advisory Conversations are offered Thursdays and Fridays only, subject to availability. Availability is limited, and sessions are offered by advance booking only. Booking Confirmation A booking is considered confirmed once it has been scheduled through the booking system and acknowledged by email. By booking a session, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms outlined in this Booking Policy, including the cancellation and non-attendance provisions below. Fee Status The Initial Advisory Conversation is offered at no cost. However, the session reserves exclusive time and preparation within a limited working schedule. As such, late cancellations and non-attendance are subject to charges, as outlined below. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy Cancellations or requests to reschedule must be made at least 15 days in advance of the scheduled session. The following terms apply: • 15 days or more notice No charge. One reschedule may be requested, subject to availability. • 7–14 days’ notice A £150 cancellation charge will apply. • Less than 7 days’ notice A £300 cancellation charge will apply. • Same-day cancellation or non-attendance A £300 charge will apply. These charges reflect the reserved advisory time and the limited ability to reallocate late-cancelled sessions. Non-Attendance Failure to attend a scheduled session without prior notice will be treated as a same-day cancellation and charged accordingly. Non-attendance includes joining the session more than 10 minutes late, at which point the session may be considered forfeited. Exceptional Circumstances Exceptions to this policy may be considered at discretion in genuinely exceptional circumstances. Any such consideration does not create precedent for future bookings. Payment of Cancellation Charges Where a cancellation charge applies, an invoice will be issued, and payment is due within 7 days of the invoice date. I have read and agree to the Booking and Cancellation Policy, including applicable charges for late cancellation or non-attendance.
