You don't have to work everything out on your own.

Maybe there's a decision you keep coming back to. Something in your business that's not quite working. An opportunity you haven't had the time or space to think through properly. Or something that's simply taking more time, energy or attention than seems worthwhile.

You don't have to wait until something becomes a big problem before it makes sense to involve someone else.

Sometimes another experienced brain is simply a sensible business resource.

I bring additional thinking capacity, perspective and practical business experience alongside yours, helping you understand what's actually going on, make better-informed decisions and move things forward in a way that works for your business and for you.

You can be perfectly capable
and still benefit from another brain

When you're at the centre of your business, you're close to almost everything in it.

Another perspective can help you spot assumptions, patterns and possibilities that are difficult to see from the inside. It can bring different experiences and ways of thinking to the situation, while giving you the space to pause and think properly about something that might otherwise keep getting pushed aside.

And it means all of the thinking doesn't have to sit with you.

Being able to work something out on your own doesn't always mean it's the best use of you.

Understand first. Then decide what will help.

I don't start with the answer, nor a standard solution to fit you into.

First, we look at what's actually happening. We question assumptions, make sense of the different pieces and work out what makes sense from here.

Sometimes we need to think something through. Sometimes we need to actually do something. Often it's a bit of both.

The aim is to find what makes sense for your business, your situation and you.

Why my brain?

I'm Siân Faire, a Business Lifestyle Engineer™.

My background in engineering still shapes the way I think: understand what we're trying to achieve, look at what's actually happening, question assumptions and consider the whole system before deciding what makes sense.

I've since worked across very different parts of business, combining that experience with analytical thinking and practical judgement. I look at the commercial reality and the human one, because a sensible business solution still has to work for the person who has to live with it.

I won't just ask questions and expect all the answers to be inside your head. I bring my own thinking, experience and perspective too.

More about me

“When you are working in your business you can be too close to it and it’s hard to step out and look at it more objectively... It was a helpful insight from an outside perspective.”
