Impactful support for small businesses

Small business owners - I see you!

Looking for an injection of strategy but can’t commit to a bigger project? I’d love to help. I offer creativity chats and mentoring to smaller business owners or those new to running a business.


Victoria Careless, Director, Friends Dress Agency

I had a fantastic face-to-face creativity chat with Laura. I was so impressed with Laura’s ideas and input to help me get the best from my business. I have a to-do list, and I feel it’s given me a positive boost.

Creativity Chat

One-off session, in person or online

Use me to unpick a problem, brainstorm an idea, no matter how big or small, work through your business plan and offload.

I'll bring a fresh perspective, new ideas, big brand experience, and some friendly chat! If you’re local to me we can even do it over coffee or on a walk. 

    • Pre-session online questionnaire shared and completed.

    • 20-minute introductory call to get to know each other, over the phone or video call. 

    • 60-minute session in person, on a walk-and-talk or video call.

    • Summary and notes provided within 48 hours of the session with any priorities and next steps clearly outlined. 

  • Focus: on the areas that will make the biggest an impact.

    Connection: to your audience, offering and your business. 

    Ideas: I’ll inject creativity and a fresh perspective.

  • £150 per session

Mentoring

Monthly sessions, in-person or online

Mentoring offers you a safe space every 3-4 weeks to talk about your business, plan, brainstorm, work through obstacles and sticking points and even just to vent. I know from experience that running a business on your own can be daunting, overwhelming and sometimes lonely. These sessions allow you to carve out time to focus on you and your business, talk to someone who understands and can help you make informed decisions and hold you accountable. Think of it as business therapy!

It’s also a great way to inject some much needed strategy and get a fresh pair of eyes on your plans without costing a fortune.

    • Pre-session online questionnaire shared and completed.

    • 20-minute introductory call to get to know each other, over the phone or video call. 

    • 60-minute session in person, on a walk-and-talk or video call held every 3-4 weeks.

    • Summary and notes provided within 48 hours of the session with any priorities and next steps clearly outlined. 

    • Follow-up emails to hold you accountable to your actions and plan for our next session.

  • Focus: on the areas that will make the biggest an impact.

    Connection: to your audience, offering and your business. 

    Ideas: I’ll inject creativity and a fresh perspective.
