Is there a long-term commitment?

Advisory plans start with a 3-month minimum, so we have time to get to know your business. After that, they continue month to month, with 30 days’ notice to cancel. And if your first month isn’t worth it, you don’t pay for it, and the minimum doesn’t apply.

What if something urgent comes up?

Tell me it’s urgent. Partner clients get a same-day reply, and Essential clients hear back within one business day.

What happens to unused hours?

They carry over to the following month.

Does coaching count toward the 1% training law?

Yes. Since 2026, Quebec has recognized coaching, including leadership coaching for managers, as eligible training under the law, which applies to employers with a payroll of more than $2 million. I provide an invoice and a record of coaching hours for your files, so you can include it in your annual training report.

I send an invoice each month, payable within 30 days by credit card or Interac e-Transfer.

Do you give legal advice?

No. For a dismissal, a dispute or anything with legal risk, I’ll tell you when you need a lawyer and refer you to a trusted employment lawyer.

Sound familiar?

The questions owners bring to me most.

“How should I set pay and raises when I can’t match big companies?”
“How do I keep my best people?”
“Someone is underperforming. Do I coach, document or part ways, and what do I say?”
“My star performer is ready to manage. How do I set them up to succeed?”
“How do I give feedback that lands, and build a culture people want to be part of?”
“I need to handle a termination, a complaint about a manager, or a leave request that doesn’t fit my policy.”

What changes

The people side, finally under control.

Make people decisions with confidence

You know what to do, what to say and what the risks are, before the conversation, not after.

Keep your best people

Fair pay, clear expectations and managers who lead well, so good people stay and grow with you.

Get your time back

Your managers handle more on their own, and you spend your time growing the business.

Client story

Business owner, about 100 employees · Ongoing advisory

One difficult employee was driving good people away.

The owner called me when one employee’s behaviour started pushing the rest of the team out the door. Within a few days, we had a plan, and the employee’s manager had the steps and the words to act on it. The manager turned the situation around.

We didn’t stop there. Together, we built a simple way to address harmful behaviour quickly, before it spreads. The owner learned to empower his managers instead of stepping in himself, and his managers now feel confident handling difficult situations on their own.

Today, the owner spends his time growing the business, not managing conflict.

A real client, shared with details changed to protect their privacy.

Try an advisory plan for a month. If it doesn’t make the people side of your business easier, tell me before your second month starts. I’ll refund your first month in full and we part as friends, with no 3-month minimum. The same goes for your first hour as needed.
