IN THE BUSINESS
Lead Without the Friction
People-first advisory with clear plans you can keep and review.
I help owners, co-founders, and family business leaders handle hard moments, stay grounded under pressure, and move decisions forward—so your company runs on collaboration instead of confusion.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Leaders in owner-led and family-run companies who want less friction and faster alignment—without sacrificing relationships or results.
You might be here if:
Decisions keep getting revisited (the same issues loop).
Progress stalls and people wait; roles and priorities feel fuzzy.
Tense moments linger; tone gets sharp and repair is slow.
Stress spills between home and business and bounces back again.
WHAT CHANGES
Clear calls: who decides, who’s consulted, and the first next step.
Work that moves: plans hold through the week; fewer mid-week rewrites.
Calmer hard conversations: a shared way to talk and a simple repair protocol.
One team, one answer: messages line up; no mixed signals.
Depth matters. We don’t just manage behaviour. We find what’s in the way—clarity, capacity, sequence, skill, support—rehearse the next hard conversation, and review briefly so agreements hold.
COMMON SIGNALS IT’S TIME
Recurring conflict between co-leaders or family members.
Role/decision confusion about who makes which call.
Decisions are made in the room, then re-opened the next day.
Successor/founder conversations avoided or get defensive fast.
Staff triangulate (asking one person for a different answer).
Kids/partners are feeling the fallout from leadership stress.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

ABOUT ANNE
I have a deep understanding of human behaviour across the lifespan and translate that into the business. With the PEACE Method™, I help owner-led and family-run companies—and the people who run them—uncover what’s in the way, keep hard conversations calm, agree who does what by when, and review briefly so decisions keep moving.
HOW IT FEELS TO WORK WITH ME
Calm, private, and practical. We slow things down in the hard moments, name what’s really going on, and talk in a way that doesn’t blow up. It’s people-first advisory: clear plans for the business, and care for the people who carry them out.
COMMON QUESTIONS
-
Yes. I support founders, co-founders, and leadership teams in both startups and family-run businesses. The PEACE Method™ works wherever people need a clear way to handle conflict and make confident decisions together.
-
Both. Many clients begin privately (Owner/Founder 1:1 or as Co-Founders), then invite me into the boardroom to scale what’s working. Same PEACE Method—choose the easiest starting point.
-
Yes. Much of my work is online with founder families and businesses worldwide. I also facilitate in-person sessions in New Zealand, and by arrangement in Australia and beyond.
