Set a clear path for your vision
A one day session setting your vision and creating buy-in for your staff, board and other people who matter. Complete with a strategy overview, action plan template and implementation support for a year.
Connect and start your path to clarity without getting bogged down
I know that driving your organisation forward can be overwhelming. Prior to my current strategy career, I managed a youth work charity, I have also run a social enterprise and I am currently the chair of a learning disability charity. As an ethical leader, the funding landscape, the cost of living crisis and the constant change of politics can mean it is difficult to see the wood for the trees. Truly making a difference is more important now than ever, and bringing people with you on that journey is even more crucial.
I have supported leaders of organisations of all shapes and sizes to become more strategic so that they can make a difference for over 10 years. I know what works and what doesn’t, how to read the room what can focus your people and bring the energy back to your strategy. I also know how to support you to make the strategy happen.
Be the leader you are destined to be and make that difference.
Truly make a difference through bringing some clarity to your mission. Invite your team to help develop the road map and to share the load. Make this journey a team effort, and bring the energy back to the room.
The Soloco Strategy Sessions
A one day facilitated session where we work through your why’s, what’s and how’s. We break down the difference you want to make, to whom, and who will pay for it. We’ll find that fire in the belly and reignite it.
I turn that day into a simple strategy overview that sits alongside a strategy action plan to monitor its progress. I can then support you over the next year with bi-monthly sessions to support you on your journey, and act as a sounding board or troubleshoot.
Working in this way we will lead you and your team through a process of connection, confidence, growth, clarity and be re-energised.
The approach I use in these sessions walk you through a process of connection, confidence, growth, clarity and energy. My clients agree.

What clients say…
Georgia Artus, Development Manager, Vintage Vibes
“Kirsty has been an invaluable asset in helping us to create our 5 Year Strategy. She helped us create something that is clear, manageable and inspiring whilst bringing us together as a group and instilling confidence in what we have set out to do.”
Kate Darrah, MD & Founder, The Ridge & The Ridge Foundation
“Kirsty has delivered two Grand Days In for The Ridge, where staff, trustees/directors and some of our volunteers spent time away from the front line, exploring why we do what we do, what the barriers are and how we might address them.
The whole process through pre-GDI planning, to the day itself and the post-event washup was easy, effective and enjoyable. Kirsty is a total pro and makes it all look so simple! Her approach is supportive, engaging, light-touch and focused, which all has the effect of enabling us to do the work without being too aware of the effort. We've benefitted enormously as an evolving organisation, with clearly identified goals and barriers. Followup has helped us to plot a clear action timeline, into which everyone will have input. There have also been great benefits in building relationships across teams through this skillfully facilitated piece of shared work. ”

We will start with an introductory call, and then once we agree to go ahead, we book a session to talk through with you where you are, what you would like to get out of the day and if there are any issues currently being faced within the organisation.
Once we have determined what are the key points you want to get across, I then design the session.
We then confirm a date and I can take it from there.

For face to face events it includes a planning session, an agenda to send out to participants, the strategy session, write up of notes, strategy overview and developing the action plan template. It also includes my travel and subsistence.
What isn’t included:
venue hire, teas/ coffees and lunch costs on the strategy session, completion of the action plan (I will seed it, but it is most effective if it is completed by the operational team).
