person looking stressed out with lots of work around them

If you’re a lean, mean, powerhouse of a machine, you know the struggle is real.

One minute you’re celebrating a win, the next you’re drowning in emails, juggling workloads, battling clunky tech, and wondering why finding and keeping great people feels like an extreme sport. Sound familiar?

Oh, and let’s not forget the big three headaches smaller businesses face:

Financial constraints – Cash flow stress? Yep, we know it’s like playing financial Tetris every month.

Talent acquisition & retention – Finding and keeping great people shouldn’t feel like dating in the apocalypse. But here we are.

Marketing & online presence – You know you need it, but where do you even start? And do you really have time to be a LinkedIn influencer on top of everything else?

We see you. We get you. And we’ve got you.

Got a headache that needs some relief?  

What can we do for YOU?

We specialise in untangling areas like communication, technology, and workloads, through human-centered methods that are actually kinda fun.

Here's some past requests we've helped untangle...

47 Employees
We have quite a hybrid workforce and it just seems a bit disconnected at the moment.  There's so many forms of communication in the organisation, it's a bit of a nightmare.  How do we create more of a community and create more cohesion with teams?

18 Employees
We're a small team delivering a high volume of work but our systems suck!  We have about 15 different systems and none of them talk to each other.  Help!

53 Employees
People are feeling completely overloaded and leadership have suggested stress management training but I'm not sure this is going to fix the issue.  How can we deliver a budget-friendly solution that suits everyone?

Why us

Real Change, Real Results

We’ve been working with one of NZ's leading accreditors (50 employees) for the last three years, and the transformation has been nothing short of inspiring.

Strengths? Identified. Areas for improvement? Also identified—but without the blame game.

Good Results? You bet. Over 90% of employees say their leaders actually live the values, listen to feedback, and create safe spaces where ideas and thoughts aren’t just tolerated—they’re welcomed.

Reflective short surveys? Game-changer. This enabled the team to not only get a gauge on where each team sat but also get employee-led solutions, throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

We asked our mini but mighty network of businesses to ask us some curly questions, that most people think but don't say out loud. Here's what they asked:

We’re a small business—do we really need to worry about leadership and culture? -

Absolutely! A strong workplace culture isn’t just for the big guys. When your team feels heard, valued, and supported, they’ll stick around—and do their best work. Just ask our client, where over 90% of employees feel their leaders live the values. Good culture isn’t a “nice-to-have”; it’s the secret sauce to a thriving business.

How can we attract and keep great people when we can’t compete with big corporate salaries? +

It’s not all about money (although, let’s be real, it helps). People want a workplace where they feel respected, have room to grow, and aren’t drowning in chaos. By getting communication, workload balance, and leadership right, you create an environment people want to be part of—no extravagant perks required.

Our technology feels outdated and clunky—how do we fix it without breaking the bank? +

You don’t need the latest, flashiest software—just tools that actually work for you. The key is choosing solutions that simplify processes, not complicate them. We can help you figure out what’s worth upgrading and what’s just shiny but unnecessary.

We’re stretched thin—how do we find time to focus on strategy when we’re busy putting out fires? +

That’s exactly why you need  to get strategic! Running in reactive mode all the time leads to burnout and missed opportunities. By using tools like reflective and pulse surveys (like we did with our above client), you can pinpoint issues before they explode, helping you work smarter, not harder.

Is communication really that important, or is it just another soft skill thing? +

Oh, it’s that important. In fact, communication is the glue that holds everything together in a small business. It’s how leaders inspire, teams collaborate, and customers stay happy. When communication flows well, work gets done faster, feedback is heard (instead of ignored), and relationships—both inside and outside the business—stay strong. Poor communication? That’s when confusion, frustration, and misunderstandings take over. Think of it as the difference between a well-oiled machine and a tangled mess of wires.

Good communication builds trust, boosts morale, and keeps everyone moving in the same direction—without the chaos. And let’s be honest, it’s also the key to making sure your emails actually get read instead of lost in the abyss.

Why us

Why Stay Stuck When You Can Soar?

The reality is, being a smaller organisation doesn’t mean you have to settle for big headaches. When communication flows, workloads are balanced, technology works with you (not against you), and your team feels valued—magic happens. Productivity skyrockets. Innovation thrives. People stick around. And let’s be honest, your workplace actually becomes fun again.
