One-on-one advice from inside your business.
As a creative, you thrive on imagination, artistry, and right-brained innovation. But running a business demands consistency, routine, and left-brain processes. Juggling both feels overwhelming, pulling you away from what you love - creating.
Interim CEO
No group coaching calls, or facebook groups with no accountability.
I will step into your business as a 'CEO', while we plan and execute on what is actually going to move the needle.
Strategic Direction
First, we'll set goals during our 'induction meeting'. Show me behind the curtain, good and bad, and tell me what you want to achieve. Whether it's scaling up, more time, better leads.
Then, we'll come up with a strategy that suits your strengths, lifestyle and opportunities.
Accountability
I will be there to keep you on track, keep you accountable on our strategic direction.
That's with regular check ins, and also access to my calendar to book a meeting whenever you need.

Drowing in business overwhelm?
I'll help you create a 90-day plan, that cuts through the mess, giving you clear steps so you can stop stressing and start creating again.
Stuck on what to do next?
I'm not surprised. You're a creative professional who needs to organise shoots, admin, marketing, sales, accounts all on your own. This can lead to overwhelm, which then means you're unproductive.
Can't seem to stay on track?
When there's no-one to keep you accountable, you chop and change and can't stay on track. I'll conduct regular check-ins to ensure you stay on track.
I'm Brendan, your mentor and guide
As a former nurse and paramedic, I thrive under high-pressure, systems-driven environments, following procedures no matter the chaos. I've lead teams through a nationwide healthcare expansion and created a Quality Management System (QMS) for a national Occupational Health company to achieve ISO9001 accreditation (boring, but important!).
Then, as a creative, I've turned my photography passion into a sustainable six-figure business, receiving 200+ leads a year, an audience of over 25k and receive over 33k website visitor annually.
My creative business success wasn't because of my skills with a camera, it came from the knowledge and understanding of how businesses operate, and the importance of smart and repeatable systems.
Let's make smart decisions, and keep you on track. As your interim CEO, I'll create a clear 90-day plan tialored to your unique cretaive business, guide you with confidence, and hold you accountable, so you can focus on creating and building a sustainable business you love.

I'm not your boss
The problem is, if the business isn't providing it's value, then you're not your own boss, you're your own slave. Grinding away for what feels like night and day but not moving anywhere.
You, the business owner, are the ultimate boss. It's your business, your vision, and your art. I'm not here to take over, or tell you what your art should be. As an interim CEO, I work for YOU to to reshape your business for the better.
I'll work WITH you, 1-on-1 to build a better business so you can be more creative.
What Does your dream business look like?
Having that 'dream business' is great, but planning it out on paper and taking action are very different. Think about the priorities you had a month ago compared to now. Did you action them? Are you closer to your goals? Do you have anyone to keep you accountable? Below just scratches the surface on what we can achieve.
Build a completely automated onboarding and client workflow. That's automated reminders for meetings, scheduling online catch ups, automating tasks and emails, shot lists, questionnaires and all your regular touch points saving you hours of admin for every client ensuring it feels personal and in your brand's voice.
Improve and release regular content. We'll create a social media strategy, providing you with consistent lead flow. Reviewing your results as we go, improving scripts, working with automation and scheduling tools to finally commit to the 'regular posting' you've told yourself you need to do.
Implement an SEO strategy that will see you rise to the top of your local google results, meaning top quality, and localised leads coming into your business even when you're not thinking about it.
Look beyond what's due today
Being swamped and overwhelmed with what you need to do today is what holds most of us back. "I'll get to those big dreams eventually". We will diagnose where you are now, assess your workload and then design a business you can manage, understanding that you are an individual in your workload capacity, and what you love.
It has been through having big dreams that I've been able to scale my creative business, automate a large proportion of it, then focus on scaling to my next ambitious goal, all whilst maintaining a healthy family life.
