A couple of weeks ago, I shared Lisa’s story – the health and wellness entrepreneur who came to a consultation with five things in motion and no clear direction. By the end of the call, she said: “I feel already clearer just explaining a lot of things.”

​
​

I promised I’d come back and explain what that actually looks like in practice, so as promised, here’s the inside view.

​
​
​

What this looks like week to week

A Fractional Chief of Staff isn’t an Online Business Manager, and they’re not a VA.

​
​

An Online Business Manager runs your operations and team day-to-day – execution and systems.

​
​

I work at the strategic level: thought partnership, priority setting, decision support, and project managing select initiatives. You might actually need both – an OBM to run operations, and a Fractional CoS for strategic partnership. They work well together.

​
​

Here’s what working with me looks like:

​
​

We have a standing weekly call. It’s run on a structured agenda that keeps your priorities, blockers, and open issues on the table, and solves them in the room. Not a status update. A working session where things actually move.

​
​

Between sessions, I hold the context. When something comes up (a decision to make, an opportunity to evaluate, a conversation you need to prepare for), you’re not doing that alone. You have someone who already knows your business, your goals, and what you said last week.

​
​

I project manage 1-2 strategic initiatives at a time. Not your entire operation, but the complex initiatives that sit above your team’s expertise and beyond your available bandwidth. Maybe your first book, or a community you’re trying to build. Work that needs strategic leadership, not just execution.

​
​

If you’re working toward that first book right now, I wrote about what actually goes into building a launch team long before you need one: Your Launch Team Isn’t a List. It’s a Relationship – it’s worth a read before you’re deep into the process, not after.

​
​
​

A quick gut-check

Before I tell you who this is for, take a second with these two questions:

​
​

• When something in your business needs strategic thinking and someone to actually carry it forward, who’s doing that right now, and is it always you?

​

• If you had a standing hour each week to think out loud with someone who already had full context, what would you bring to that session first?

​
​

​

Who this is for

You’re 3-5+ years into your business. You have proven offers, consistent revenue, and a small team or freelancers supporting you.

​
​

But you’re still the one connecting every dot. Still the only person who can see how all the pieces fit together. Still making every strategic decision alone, even with a coach and a team in place.

​
​

If that’s you, this was built for you.

​

The Strategic Partner package ($2,500 USD/month) is designed for coaches and consultants at the $250K-$500K stage. It’s a starting point, and most engagements get shaped around what you actually need.

​
​

If you’re not sure you’re ready for ongoing support, the Strategic Clarity Intensive ($3,500 USD, one-time) is a two-week engagement where we map your priorities, assess what’s actually falling through the cracks, and build a 90-day roadmap together. It’s also a low-commitment way to experience working together before deciding on anything longer term.

P.S. If those two questions above stirred something up, email me and tell me what came up. I read every email, and it’s usually the fastest way to find out if this is actually a fit.
