Phase 1: The Chaos-to-Clarity Scan

A focused diagnostic for organizations that need clarity on where to start.

What it is

I review your existing people systems and workflows, identify the root causes of friction and risk, and debrief leadership with a clear 90-day stabilization roadmap.

The 3-Week Roadmap

Week 1: Kickoff & Access A 60-minute download with the Founder/CEO to hear the biggest pain points and "wish list." The "Mixed Signals" Scan: Review core documents (Handbook, Onboarding Checklist, Values Statement, recent job descriptions). Goal: Understand what the org says it does vs. what is actually written down.
Week 2: Stakeholder Pulse Calls Conversations with a diverse group of key players (e.g., an Ops lead, a Manager, a new hire). One Process Walkthrough: Pick one chaotic workflow (usually Hiring or Performance Reviews) and walk through it with org leaders live. Goal: Identify where the work actually gets stuck and how the team feels.
Week 3: Connecting the Dots Analyze the gap between Week 1 (what is written) and Week 2 (what is happening). Draft the 90-Day Stabilization Plan with the 3–5 "no-regrets" actions. The Leadership Debrief: A 60–90 minute strategy session to present the Chaos Map and recommended next steps. Goal: Synthesize findings into the "Chaos Map" and a clear action plan.

Phase 2: People Systems Launch

Implement the systems your team needs — then embed them so they stick.

What it is

Phase 2 is where we build and launch the People & Culture systems your organization actually needs — not a corporate template dropped into your Notion. Most clients come here directly after Phase 1, using the Chaos Map as their blueprint. Some come directly with a clear priority already in mind.

This is a fixed-fee, outcome-based engagement. We agree on the scope upfront, work toward a defined launch, and build in the rollout support so that what we create doesn't just live in a folder — it gets used.

Phase 2 is not task-based HR administration or "small fixes." It's systems implementation and leadership enablement, designed for organizations ready to operate more sustainably.

How it works

We move through three outcomes-driven steps — no guesswork, no scope creep.

1
Define — We confirm exactly which system(s) we're building, what success looks like, who owns which decisions, and what "done" means. This prevents the engagement from drifting and keeps everyone aligned before a single document is drafted.
2
Build + Launch v1 — We implement the minimum-viable version of the system: the one your team can actually use now, not the perfect version that gets abandoned. Think simple, usable, low-admin — and real enough to survive first contact with your organization.
3
Embed — A launch without rollout support is just a document. This step covers the communications, manager enablement, and first-cycle support that makes the system stick. We then transition into a retainer cadence for iteration — because no system is perfect on day one.

What we might build

Scoped to what you actually need — not a menu you order from.

Manager operating cadence + feedback expectations — so managers know what's expected of them and teams know what to expect from managers
Onboarding system + tools — a first-90-days experience that actually prepares people to do the job
Performance-lite check-ins — simple, usable, low-admin — built for organizations that don't have the bandwidth for quarterly review cycles
Policy & process foundations — practical, not legalese — the documents your team will actually read and follow
Role clarity / leveling-lite — to reduce confusion, pay inequity, and the "is that my job?" conversations that slow everything down
Hiring structure — scorecards, interview guides, workflow — so you stop hiring on gut and start hiring on criteria
Culture & engagement listening loops — structured ways to hear from your team and actually act on what you hear

Investment

Fixed-fee, scoped before we start. The range depends on how many systems we're building, how complex your stakeholder environment is, whether you have distributed teams across multiple countries, and how much rollout support is needed.

Tier Scope Investment (USD)
Stabilize One priority system $8,000–$14,000
Strengthen Two priority systems $14,000–$24,000
Scale Three systems / broader stabilization $24,000–$35,000

These ranges reflect launch + embed support, not just document creation. All engagements are scoped in writing before work begins.

Credit-forward: If you begin a retainer within 30 days of Phase 2 completion, 20% of the Phase 2 fee is credited toward your first retainer month — increasing to 30% if you commit to a 3-month retainer at kickoff.

The Fractional Leader Retainer

A senior People & Culture partner — without the full-time overhead.

Best for

Teams with someone handling HR logistics internally (Ops / Admin / HR Coordinator) who want senior oversight, decision support, and systems that scale. This retainer scales with you — light touch when things are stable, more intensive when you're navigating change.

Retainer tiers

Level Capacity Best for
Advisory Partner 5 hrs/week Strategic guidance + leadership sounding board
Embedded Fractional Most Popular 10 hrs/week Hands-on support + weekly cadence; systems build in-flight
Embedded Fractional+ 12.5 hrs/week Growth periods; heavier async + build work
Fully Embedded 15 hrs/week Deep partnership; change management + delivery

Minimum 3-month commitment. Billed monthly in advance. Pricing shared during the discovery call.

What I handle

Crisis navigation — sensitive employee relations, investigations, conflicts
Strategic sounding board — weekly syncs with CEO/COO, decision support
Systems iteration — refining tools and workflows based on real use
Manager enablement — supporting leaders through real-life people challenges

Ad-hoc Advisory

Flexible support for one-off decisions or targeted reviews.

Best for

Occasional, flexible, or one-off support outside a defined project or retainer. Leadership decision support, sensitive situations, coaching, and targeted reviews. Available in limited capacity — ongoing needs are usually better served via a retainer.

Why Work With Me

The Global Edge

Most consultants stumble when borders are crossed. I have operationalized people systems across 13+ countries. I navigate the messy reality of remote teams, cross-border compliance, and cultural nuance so you can hire the best talent anywhere — without the legal risk.

No Corporate Bureaucracy

I build "minimum viable policies" — the simplest version of a system that protects your organization without killing your culture. Just enough structure to stop the chaos. Nothing more.

Why Clients Choose Me

I bridge the gap between "corporate efficiency" and "non-profit empathy." I don't just write policies; I turn ad-hoc chaos into self-running systems — freeing you from the day-to-day noise.
