The Sunlit Business Strategy

The Sunlit Business Strategy is a 4–16 week strategic consulting engagement designed for small to mid-sized organizations that want measurable performance gains without sacrificing people.

This engagement is best suited for organizations ready to address performance at the systems level. This engagement is not surface-level training.

This program integrates organizational strategy, leadership psychology, and emotional intelligence to help teams operate with clarity, efficiency, and resilience — especially during growth, transition, or strain.

Unlike traditional consulting, this work addresses human behavior inside systems, reducing friction, burnout, and misalignment that diminish productivity and morale.

Disclaimer: This is not therapy — it is strategic consulting informed by clinical expertise, designed for modern workplaces navigating complexity, change, and remote work realities.

Let's Start here....

Common challenges this program solves:

​

  • Leadership misalignment slowing execution

  • Communication breakdowns (especially across remote teams)

  • Burnout impacting retention and performance

  • Role confusion creating inefficiencies and conflict

  • Ineffective meetings and decision fatigue

  • Culture dilution during growth or restructuring

Assessment & Strategic Alignment

(Weeks 1–4)

“We get clarity before action.”

This phase often reveals that 10–25% of leadership energy is being lost to misalignment rather than strategy. I Identify where time, energy, and talent are being lost and where alignment will create the greatest return. In this phase, I will discover how to reduce wasted time, discover unclear priorities, and identity misaligned leadership decisions.​

Includes:

  • Organizational intake & executive goal alignment

  • Leadership stress, communication, and decision-flow assessment

  • Role clarity and accountability review

  • Identification of productivity drains, friction points, and burnout risks

  • Remote/hybrid workflow analysis

  • Bonus: “Decision Ownership & Role Clarity Matrix”

Operational & Behavioral Gains:

  • Executive Insight Report (key risks, strengths, and opportunities)

Phase 2: Strategy & Capability Building (Weeks 4–8)
"We will build upon business issues, not individual failure."

In this phase we will collaborate to build systems that support performance. We will determine the risk of burnout as a business issue, not a wellness issue. This phase improves communication efficiency, reduces interpersonal friction, and strengthens accountability.​

Remote & Hybrid Integration:

Phase 3: Integration & Sustainability
(Weeks 9–12 / 16)
"We will observe outcomes and plan for meaningful sustainment."

I will support you to construct meaningful changes to successfully sustain. Overall, this phase protects the organization from regression once my support ends.
