Running a business can feel lonely. You're wearing every hat - finance director, head of marketing, sales lead, while also delivering for your clients. You know you should be working on your business, not just in it, but when?
You're not alone in feeling this way. And you don't have to figure it out on your own anymore.
You started your business with passion and vision. But somewhere between managing cash flow, chasing clients, and handling the day-to-day operations, that excitement got buried under overwhelm.
Sound familiar?
Feeling isolated with no one to share the highs, lows, or big decisions
Wearing too many hats and never having time for strategic thinking
Lacking clarity on what to focus on next to actually grow
Missing deadlines you set for yourself because there's no accountability
Spinning your wheels with great ideas but no clear path forward
Staying stuck in the day-to-day, never stepping back to see the bigger picture
You are capable of so much more. You just need the right support to access each next level.
Imagine having a trusted group of fellow business owners who understand exactly what you're going through. People who celebrate your wins, help you navigate challenges, and hold you accountable to the goals that matter.
That's Boardroom Buddies.
More than a mastermind, it's your business family.
In our small, carefully curated groups, you'll find:
Crystal Clear Roadmaps through monthly focused sessions that help you work on your business, not just in it. Members consistently report feeling "far more strategic" and having "clearer goals" after joining.
Genuine Community that eliminates the isolation of business ownership. As one member put it: "Not to feel alone, not to be the only one thinking through an issue."
Accountability That Works because you're not just accountable to yourself anymore. You're accountable to a group that genuinely wants your success.
Fresh Perspectives from business owners facing similar challenges. Often, someone else's experience will unlock exactly what you need for your own business.
A Safe Space for honest conversations about what's really happening, the struggles, the wins, and everything in between. Complete confidentiality guaranteed.
Not everyone thrives in a group setting, and sometimes what holds your business back isn’t just a lack of clear direction or planning; it’s you. Not because you’re not capable, but because we all have blind spots, habits, and beliefs that can quietly cap our ability to move forward.
That’s why 1:1 coaching goes deeper. Together, we’ll work on both your business and you as the business owner, so you can:
Develop the confidence and resilience to make bolder, better decisions
Learn new ways of thinking that shift how you see yourself and your business
Grow as a leader, so your business can grow with you
Create strategies that feel aligned with who you are, not just what others say you “should” do
Business growth is never separate from personal growth. When you strengthen yourself, the next level of business becomes easier, more natural, and more sustainable.
As one client put it:
“Jackie’s questions – asking not just what, but why and how something will make a difference – really shine a light on whether I am doing the right things.”
I'm a bit of a "closet rebel." I was supposed to retire two years ago, but I love what I do too much to stop.
For over 40 years, I've been in the business of helping people exceed what they thought was possible.
It started when I was training beauty consultants, many of whom initially said they "couldn't talk in front of people" went on to become top performers.
That's when I discovered my thing: nurturing potential through the right questions, guidance, and genuine belief in people.
I've run small businesses most of my life, worked with large corporations, and earned qualifications in everything from NLP and coaching to psychology and emotional intelligence.
But what really matters is that I understand the lonely weight of business ownership because I've carried it myself.
I created Boardroom Buddies because I believe in sustainable growth over aggressive scaling.
Too many business coaches push for "huge fast growth" without considering the personal cost. I've seen successful business owners achieve their goals only to realise the compromise to their family and well-being wasn't worth it.
My approach is different. We focus on strategic progress that enhances your life, not consumes it. Through the right questions, peer support, and genuine accountability, you'll find your own path to meaningful success.
PS: When I'm not helping business owners thrive, you'll find me in my garden nurturing plants and trying not to get too distracted by the next project (my husband says I'm like a bumble bee jumping from flower to flower, he's not wrong!).
My style of coaching won't be for everyone, nor will my mastermind. But either option could be a good fit if:
You're a micro or small business owner ready for sustainable growth
You feel isolated in your business decision-making
You want strategic perspective beyond daily firefighting
You're open to honest feedback and genuine accountability
You value personal well-being alongside business success
You're ready to invest time and energy in your development
This isn't for you if:
You're seeking aggressive, rapid scaling at any cost
You're not ready to be open and honest about real challenges
You want quick fixes rather than sustainable development
You're looking for someone to tell you exactly what to do (rather than help you find your own path)
You're not willing to invest time in the process of growth
You prefer purely tactical advice without strategic thinking
It all starts with a relaxed conversation between you and me. No persuasion or manipulative sales tactics. Just an open and honest chat about where you are now and where you're trying to get to.
Your Journey to Better Business Support
Step 1: Book Your Discovery Call
We'll have a relaxed conversation about where you are now, what's working, what isn't, and what you'd love to achieve. No pressure or sales pitch, just an honest chat about your business.
Step 2: Find Your Best Fit
If you’re keen to go ahead, we'll explore whether Boardroom Buddies mastermind or 1:1 coaching aligns better with your needs, personality, and current business situation.
Step 3A: If Mastermind Feels Right
You'll be invited to attend a session as a trial. Experience the group dynamic firsthand, meet potential business buddies, and see if the chemistry feels right for everyone.
Step 3B: If 1:1 Coaching Is Your Path
We'll schedule your first coaching session and design an approach that works around your schedule and focuses on your priority challenges.
No commitment until you're completely comfortable. This isn't about convincing you, it's about finding the right support for your business journey.
The choice is yours: continue handling every challenge alone, or join a community of business owners who understand exactly what you're going through.
You and your business deserve more than survival mode.
Whether you're drawn to the collaborative energy of Boardroom Buddies or the focused attention of 1:1 coaching, the next step is the same: let's talk.
