Why Mentoring Works (And Why It Changes Everything)

Most business problems aren't fixed with more headcount, more hustle, or another shiny strategy.

They're fixed when the right people are empowered in the right way.

That's what our mentoring does.
It's not about generic advice or surface-level motivation.
It's deep, hands-on coaching tailored to the two most critical people in your business: you (the visionary), and your second-in-command (the one who makes it all happen).

Through a proven blend of strategic guidance, operational structure, and mindset coaching, we help you build the kind of relationship and rhythm that takes you from stuck and scattered to scalable and strong.

Because when both of you grow in sync?
The whole business accelerates.

Whether your second-in-command is brand new or already in place… whether you're scaling fast or still in the weeds… our mentoring bridges the gap between potential and performance.

Here's what changes when you have the right support:

For the Business Owner (Visionary)

  • You finally get to lead, not just manage.
    No more drowning in details — you step into your true role as strategic visionary, with space to think, create, and grow.

  • You can step away without fear.
    Whether it's a holiday, a sick day, or a sabbatical, the business doesn't fall apart because someone you trust has it handled.

  • You stop being the bottleneck.
    Decisions get made. Progress happens. Your team moves — without waiting on you for every green light.

  • You feel proud of what you've built.
    Watching your second-in-command lead the business forward reinforces that your company is bigger than you — and built to last.

  • You fall back in love with your business.

    No more resentment, burnout, or exhaustion. Just clarity, momentum, and that spark that got you started in the first place.

For the Second-in-Command (2iC)

  • They gain the confidence to lead, not just do.
    No more second-guessing or waiting for sign-off — they become a trusted, strategic driver of the business.

  • They feel seen, valued, and empowered.
    They're no longer the "fixer in the background" — they step into their power and are recognised for it.

  • They stop firefighting and start making impact.
    With clear expectations and structured support, they can stop reacting and start shaping the future.

  • They get out of the lonely middle.
    Mentorship and community give them connection, growth, and a support network — finally, they're not in this alone.

  • They become the leader they were meant to be.
    With the right tools, mindset, and trust, they evolve into a confident operator who drives real change — and loves their role.

What You Get Inside the It Takes Two Mentoring Programme

We know that investing in mentoring is a big decision – especially when your time, team, and business are on the line. That's why our programme is structured to deliver real-world results, fast, with support that's as strategic as it is practical.

Here's exactly what's included:

🔑 Kick-Starter Strategy Call (Business Owner + 2iC)

We begin with a powerful deep-dive to understand exactly where you are and where you want to go. Together, we assess your current challenges, define clear 90-day outcomes, and create a custom plan to get you there. This session lays the foundation for everything that follows – so you're not just working hard, you're working smart.

🔁 Bi-Weekly Coaching Calls for Your Second-in-Command

Every two weeks, your second-in-command meets 1:1 with Julie – a seasoned COO who's walked the walk. These 60-minute calls focus on leadership development, operational excellence, and turning your vision into results. We coach them to step up, take ownership, and become the calm, confident leader your business needs.

📞 Monthly Founder Alignment Call

Once a month, the business owner (that's you) has a dedicated call with Emma. These sessions ensure the coaching stays aligned with your goals, gives you strategic visibility on progress, and creates a direct feedback loop so we're always moving in the right direction – your direction.

🧠 Access to Swipe Files, Frameworks & Resources

You get full access to our proven templates, guides, and "done-for-you" tools – everything from scorecards to systems, team communication structures, and more. These resources shortcut implementation, avoid reinventing the wheel, and accelerate your results.

🎁 VIP Strategy Day (Annual Pay-in-Full Bonus)

When you commit to the full year upfront, you'll receive an exclusive, high-impact VIP Day (valued at £2,500). This private session is tailored to turbocharge results — whether that's building your strategic roadmap, solving complex team challenges, or refining your org structure for scale.

This isn’t just coaching.

It's the operating system upgrade your business — and your team — have been waiting for.

Why It Takes Two Is the Mentoring Team You've Been Looking For

When you partner with Emma and Julie, you're not just enrolling in a programme — you're stepping into a transformational journey alongside two women who've lived it.

We've built the playbook we wish we'd had – one that blends strategic vision with operational brilliance. Emma works directly with you, the business owner, to crystallize your direction and free you from the weeds. Julie coaches your second-in-command to lead with confidence and clarity, not confusion.

It's not one-sided support. It's a powerful two-person strategy – one that transforms your business from the inside out.

We don't just teach this – we've done it. Together, we've built businesses that scale, teams that shine, and a model that gives you your time, sanity, and life back.

You'll get expert guidance, proven frameworks, and no-fluff coaching – all delivered with honesty, humour, and heart.

So if you're ready to go from chaos to calm…
From reactive to strategic…
From being in it all to finally leading above it…

It starts with your second-in-command.

And it starts here.
