Here's howwe can work together.

All good work starts the same way: we pause, we diagnose, and we make sure we're solving the right problem before we build anything.

Fractional COO & Executive Partnership

The COO you need but aren't ready to hire.

You're growing but everything still runs through you, or you're simply short on senior partnership and execution. I embed with your leadership team as a strategic partner and operator: setting priorities, building the rhythms that keep execution moving, leading critical projects, and creating the conditions where your team can own the work, so you can lead instead of holding it all together. This is the alternative to hiring a full-time COO or Chief of Staff before you're ready.

3 months minimum · Ongoing
What's included
What's included
  • Priority-setting, resourcing, and organizational friction review
  • Monthly leadership facilitation and planning support
  • Critical initiative leadership (strategic planning, performance management, AI integration)
  • Manager or executive coaching
Best for
  • Scaling companies where the founder is becoming the bottleneck
  • Teams in transition without a COO or Chief of Staff, or testing the function before building it internally
  • Organizations where strategy exists but execution keeps breaking at the same points
01

Organizational & Team Assessment

Everyone knows something is off. No one agrees on what.

Whether it's a team, an organization, or a specific situation, an outside lens helps you diagnose faster. I come in, interview key people, map what's actually happening, and give your leadership team a shared diagnosis and a roadmap you can act on.

2–6 weeks
What's included
What's included
  • Leadership and key stakeholder interviews
  • Current state review across operations, leadership, and team health
  • Top 5 friction points: identified, named, and prioritized
  • 30 to 90-day action roadmap
Best for
  • Organizations where leaders sense something is off but lack a shared diagnosis
  • Teams preparing for a strategic planning cycle who need a starting point grounded in reality
  • Leadership teams that want an outside perspective before a reorg, major hire, or significant investment
02

Leadership Alignment & Team Effectiveness

Good leaders don't automatically make good teams.

Your leadership team is stuck, inexperienced, or quietly losing trust. Sometimes the team needs a reset. Sometimes it needs a level-up. This is a facilitated engagement designed around your team, your context, and what actually needs to move, not a one-day workshop, but a series of engagements designed to get your leadership team stronger.

Depending on engagement
What's included
What's included
  • Leadership alignment sessions
  • Team reset and trust rebuild facilitation
  • Manager practice labs: practical skill-building
  • Individual coaching for key leaders
  • Custom leadership development
Best for
  • Organizations investing in their leaders and managers
  • Capable leaders that are not yet working together as a team
  • Teams navigating transitions, reorgs, or post-change moments
  • Teams where the hard conversations keep getting postponed
04

Strategic Planning & Operating Cadence

Your strategy isn't making it past the planning season.

I facilitate the planning process with your leadership team, clarifying direction, aligning on priorities, and building the operating cadence that makes strategy stick week after week. The problem is rarely the plan itself. It's that the rhythms, accountability, and decision structures to execute it aren't there yet.

Depending on engagement · Ongoing
What's included
What's included
  • Strategic planning session facilitation or priority reset
  • Operating cadence design (planning cycles, decision forums, review rhythms)
  • OKR/EOS or other frameworks, including training, coaching, and implementation
Best for
  • Organizations with shifting priorities or weak follow-through after planning season
  • Teams that left the offsite aligned but pulled in different directions two weeks later
  • Leaders who've invested in strategy but keep arriving at the same execution friction
05

AI Change Management

AI is moving faster than your people.

AI adoption isn't a technology problem, it's a human one. I work on the human side: role clarity, resistance mapping, manager enablement, communication during change, and the cultural conditions that make adoption strengthen how people work rather than destabilize it.

Standalone or integrated add-on
What's included
What's included
  • AI readiness assessment
  • Resistance mapping and stakeholder engagement
  • Manager enablement: equipping managers to answer their team's questions with clarity
  • Training design and rollout support
Best for
  • Organizations introducing AI to workflows faster than their people are ready for
  • Teams where adoption is creating confusion or quiet resistance
06

Leadership Coaching & Partnership

One-on-one coaching for senior leaders who need additional support.

One-on-one work for senior leaders who need a thinking partner with operational depth and a system and human lens. We work on the actual challenges you're facing: how you make decisions, how you work under pressure, and how you sustain yourself through it all.

Ongoing
What's included
What's included
  • Regular one-on-one coaching sessions (virtual)
  • Grounded in adaptive leadership, mindfulness, and somatic coaching practices
  • Focus on what's most alive: leadership presence, decision-making, complexity, nervous system regulation
  • Optional: 8 weeks of private, scientifically validated Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program
Best for
  • Leaders in transition, stepping into a bigger role, navigating a shift, or re-evaluating how they lead
  • Executives carrying significant complexity who need space and tools to think clearly with someone who gets their reality
  • Professionals who want to grow beyond their current edges, not just in role, but in how they lead and live

Here's what my clients say

Our team was carrying longstanding and unresolved tensions, along with entrenched patterns of behaviour and unproductive team dynamics that had become increasingly difficult to address from within. Bailey brought a rare combination of strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and skilled facilitation that helped us examine issues that had felt stuck for months. She created the conditions for honest dialogue and gave us the opportunity to examine both our individual and collective responsibilities for the dynamics we were experiencing. Through that process, we developed a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. What impressed me most was her ability to operate simultaneously at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Whether coaching, facilitating, or helping us understand the systems underlying our challenges, she brought the same care, rigor, and presence. I would recommend her without hesitation to any leader facing significant organizational or challenging team dynamics.

Not sure which of these fits?

Most people aren't sure when they first reach out, and that's fine. Engagements usually start with one honest conversation. We'll figure out together what would actually help.
