Strategic, flexible support for C-suite executives

Fractional, senior-level support to help you navigate complexity and move priorities forward

A Chief of Staff is a senior-level support role that gives you the space, clarity and perspective to lead effectively. You gain a trusted, independent sounding board: someone you can speak to openly, without internal dynamics or expectations shaping the conversation. 

I work alongside you, in real time, as situations evolve. 

When you bring me in, you get:

• Clarity in complex situations
• Better, faster decision-making
• Additional leadership capacity without a permanent hire
• Perspective drawn from experience across organisations and sectors
• A trusted, independent voice 

Where I add value typically includes:

• Navigating board and stakeholder dynamics 
• Shaping and progressing strategic priorities 
• Bringing structure to competing demands 
• Supporting leadership team effectiveness 
• Acting as a proxy or extension of leadership where needed 

Some of the most important outcomes are:

• Filtering noise and focusing attention where it matters
• Removing emotional bias from decision-making
• Creating momentum where progress has stalled

    Di is someone who makes things happen. She knows the right questions to ask and this enables others to challenge their own thinking and achieve a positive outcome. Di is extremely organised with a strong attention to detail and follows up on even the smallest point. A great communicator, Diane is interested in people and this shines through. She has a great sense of humour and this plus all her other attributes makes her a much valued and delightful colleague.

    I worked with Di on a range of organisational growth initiatives. She operated at a strategic level, working closely with the CEO and engaging widely across the team to help move key priorities forward. We worked particularly closely shaping the overall direction and positioning of a new learning product. She was instrumental in bringing the right people together, facilitating constructive conversations and ensuring the concept moved from an idea into something tangible and deliverable. Her ability to see the bigger picture while keeping momentum behind the practical steps was a real strength. More broadly, Di brought energy and clarity to membership growth and engagement initiatives. She is forward-looking, positive and action-oriented, and she has a natural ability to connect people around a shared objective. She combines strategic thinking with the drive to ensure progress happens. It was a pleasure to work alongside her and to see the focus and commitment she brought to strengthening the organisation.
