CEO Co-Piloting- Strategic Flexible Leadership support
When there’s too much on your plate to think strategically, Co-Piloting gives you flexible, capacity that dials up or down as needed. We work alongside you to tackle the urgent and important, create space to lead, and build the systems and confidence for your organisation to run smarter and more sustainably.
Our aim is to work at your pace, providing the strategic, operational and governance support in the short term while building organisational capacity so your own team become your future Co-Pilots — and you no longer need external support to fly confidently on your own.
Mission-Centred Expertise
We understand the challenges of leading a charity firsthand, so we focus on freeing you to deliver your mission.
Flexible & Scalable
Dial support up or down as needed — no payroll commitment, no full-time hire.
Impact-Focused
Reclaim your time and energy to concentrate on mission-critical priorities.
Capacity & Resilience Built In
We help develop your team, embed systems, and strengthen your organisation so it thrives independently.
Strategic Risk Mitigation
Protect your well-being and reduce organisational risk by ensuring critical tasks and projects are covered.
Running a small charity means wearing multiple hats—strategic planning, risk management, board actions, staff mentoring, fundraising… the list never ends. Often, the urgent crowds out the important. & immediate and the to do list just gets longer. It can feel like there's never any space to think strategically and put the systems in place to work more effectively.
Working with a CEO co-pilot gives you immediate, flexible capacity that responds to your needs. It is a resource that you can dial up or down.
We don’t just take on key leadership tasks — we get to the root of what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface to see where time, energy, and attention are really going. We’ll pinpoint what’s working well, where capacity is being lost, and what changes could make the biggest difference.
Then we’ll work with you to create better ways of working — streamlining the essentials, setting clear priorities, and putting simple systems in place so things run smoothly and you have space to lead and focus on what you do best.
Co-Piloting gives you space to focus on what matters most — advancing your charity’s mission. We combine short-term support with long-term capability, working alongside you to create an organisation that runs efficiently, sustainably, and with a team ready to take the lead.
