DISCOVERY
If you can feel the cracks but can't name them, start here.
Get an outside perspective before you commit to anything bigger.
You know something needs to change with your team. You're just not sure if it's urgent, what to tackle first, or whether you're overthinking it.
This is 30 days of focused support to help you figure that out without committing to ongoing work before you're ready.
You'll get an honest read on where things stand, a clear sense of what actually matters right now, and a roadmap you can act on (with or without me).

This is for founders who are:
(01)
Tired of guessing what "good People practices" look like at your stage. You want specific, prioritised direction, not generic HR advice.
(02)
Need an impartial voice who isn't your co-founder, your investor, or your team - someone who can see the patterns you're living inside.
(03)
Ready to stop firefighting and start building foundations that actually scale.
how it works
1.you tell me everything*
A short diagnostic plus whatever context helps - docs, challenges, the thing that's been worrying you. Get it out of your head and into mine.
* you decide the boundaries of ‘everything’ - share what you’d like my eyes on.
2.we talk it through (90 minutes)
You, me, and whoever else is relevant (co-founder, chief of staff, whoever). I'll ask the questions you haven't had time to ask yourself. You'll leave the call seeing things more clearly.
3.You get a roadmap that’s actually useful
Within a week: 3–5 priorities with clear next steps. Not a 30-page deck. Just what matters now and (maybe more importantly) what can wait.
4.we make sure it sticks (2 x 30 minutes + slack access)
Two follow up calls to work through the roadmap, pressure test your thinking, and make sure you know what you're doing next. Plus questions, sense checks, and "how do I handle this" moments for 30 days.
5.you decide what’s next
Execute it yourself, bring me in for specific projects, or move into ongoing support. Your call.
She helped us get on the right track fast
Danielle started working with us at exactly the right moment. We’d just gone through our first real growth spurt and suddenly had a diverse, multi-national team to lead. She helped us get on the right track fast: understanding people as individuals, their personalities, ambitions, and work styles.

The people patterns that don't show up on an org chart.
Every startup is haunted (even the brand new ones) - past decisions, habits, founding stories and memories that shape how teams work. Some ghosts hold us back. Some keep us grounded.
Organisational Ghosts is my newsletter on building teams that scale. You’ll get monthly-ish insights on the patterns shaping your startup. Psychology-backed stories, practical tools, and better questions about team dynamics, culture, and leadership.
