Growth Sprocket
Business Mentoring & Transition Coaching with a Human Heart
Helping you silence the second-guessing, step out of the bottleneck, and lead with confidence. Including how to get the most out of AI without losing what makes you human.
Practical by nature. Human at heart.
Do any of these sound like you?
You've built a business but it still runs through you
You’ve taken on staff, added services, created more complexity. But somehow you’re still the bottleneck. Every decision comes back to you, and growth feels like it’s made things harder, not easier.
You've stepped up and now you're not sure you belong there
A promotion, a new role, a bigger opportunity. You said yes, and you meant it. But now there’s a quiet voice asking whether you’re actually good enough for this. You are. Let’s make sure you know it.
The chapter you knew has ended and you're not sure what comes next
Whether it’s retirement, a career pivot, or life simply shifting around you – you’ve lost the structure that used to define you. You want direction, purpose, and a version of yourself you can be proud of.
How I help
The first thing I do is listen. Not to diagnose or prescribe, but to really understand where you are, what’s working, and what’s quietly draining you.
From there we build something concrete. A clear, organic business plan with stepping stones that make sense for your life and your business, not someone else’s template. We look at your finances, your structure, your time, and where the gaps are.
Then we get to work. That might mean using tools like the wheel of life to see the full picture, or learning how to use AI in your business in a way that feels simple and actually saves you time. Whatever it takes to give you clarity, confidence, and the ability to keep growing without me holding your hand forever.
This is not therapy. It is not vague encouragement. It is practical, honest support from someone who has built and run a business and knows what it really feels like.
Why It Works
Most business problems are not just business problems. The reason you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or second-guessing yourself rarely lives in a spreadsheet. It lives in the gap between what your head is telling you and what your gut already knows.
That’s where I work.
I look at the full picture, your business, your life, and what you actually want from both. I ask questions that go a bit deeper than most. I’ll encourage you to trust your instincts, and I’ll gently challenge you when your gut and your brain aren’t agreeing with each other.
I don’t set homework that makes you feel behind. I make realistic commitments with you, at a pace that works, so that progress feels achievable rather than another thing on your list.
And I’ve been there. I built and sold my own business. I completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses programme. I know what it takes, and I know how it feels when it’s hard.

I work with people the way I’d have wanted someone to work with me. Honestly, practically, and without judgement. That includes helping business owners and their teams get to grips with AI, not the hype, just the stuff that actually makes a difference.
