A fresh lens on growth

Ever been struck by the uncanny way someone's name seems to align with their destiny? If you're as fascinated by the whispers of 'nominative determinism' as I am, then my story might just spark a flicker of recognition.

My surname is Light. And yes, I grew up in a Lighthouse.

It's more than just a quirky coincidence. Being a 'guiding light' feels intrinsically woven into my DNA, a purpose that illuminates my every day. And that's precisely what The Lighthouse is all about: 

Shedding fresh, insightful light for both businesses and individuals.

My journey has been a global one, a 2+ decade voyage through the dynamic landscapes of iconic communications giants and rapidly expanding retail powerhouses. From leadership and executive roles across continents, I've honed a potent blend of skills in Marketing, Retail Operations, and the crucial heart of any thriving entity: People & Culture. I've been privileged to cultivate my leadership and coaching abilities, empowering individuals and teams to not just reach, but exceed their full potential.

This commitment to illumination extends beyond the bottom line. My dedication to the greater good has seen me serve as a Non-Executive Director on numerous Not-For-Profit Boards, further solidifying my belief in the power of guidance and positive impact.

So, what makes The Lighthouse a beacon in a sea of consultants?

• Proven Navigation Tools: Forget endless theoretical debates. We offer tried and tested 'tools in a box' – practical strategies forged in the real world.

• A Clear Course, Simplified: Our 6 straightforward modules are designed to help you chart a better, more effective path forward, without unnecessary complexity.

• Real-World Expertise, Personally Delivered: Benefit from 20+ years of combined branding, business, and team leadership experience – delivering measurable results for employees and customers, from the perspective of a Board Member, CXO/COO, and hands-on business leader.

• Your Vision, Our Priority: Every project receives the personal investment of the Director, supported by a carefully selected team. We bring the right expertise, precisely when you need it, across your tech stack, research, insights, commercial reporting, web development, CRM, innovation, customer engagement, advertising, social, and digital marketing.

At The Lighthouse, we believe in cutting through the fog and illuminating the path to clarity and success. Ready to see things in a new light?

Everyone seeks growth.  

 Finding It Shouldn't Feel Like Navigating Fog.

Whether it's personal expansion or seizing new business opportunities, growth is the current we all want to ride. But let's face it, without clear compass points, it can feel like paddling through treacle. Especially when the winds of change are whipping around us.

The same frustrations echo across boardrooms and leadership teams. The pain points I consistently hear from CEOs and Senior Business Leaders have directly shaped our core modules – designed to be that unwavering beacon of clarity and confidence, empowering companies and individuals to not just weather the storm, but to truly thrive:

• “We’ve got these specific roadblocks that are really slowing us down.”
• “My team’s brilliant, but there’s this one tricky dynamic we need to navigate.”
• “The last thing I need is a massive, costly strategic overhaul that just creates more confusion.”
• “Give me the straight shot – a concise, accurate compass bearing for real growth.”
• “I can’t afford a lengthy, complicated process that pulls my team away from the day-to-day grind.”

Shining a Fresh Lens on What Truly Drives Growth.

At The Lighthouse, we're a Boutique Advisory Consultancy strategically positioned at the vital intersection of people, purpose, and profit. 

We believe these aren't separate entities, but interconnected forces that, when aligned, illuminate the path to sustainable success.

What's This "Living Strategy" We Keep Talking About?

Let's be honest, how many strategy documents end up gathering dust in a drawer? Pulled out once a year, maybe, only to be overshadowed by the urgent demands of the day. The important gets buried by the immediate.

A strategy isn't just a document; it's a series of deliberate choices that inform every decision you make. But a decision is just the starting point, the seed. It needs constant care, nourishment, and attention to truly take root and flourish.

For a strategy to be truly effective, it demands relentless focus. No distractions, no costly detours down blind alleys. That's where we come in. We act as your consistent navigator, helping leadership teams stay firmly on course with a dynamic, "living" strategy map, supported by regular, incisive compass check-ins. 

We ensure your strategic choices aren't just made, but actively cultivated for tangible and lasting growth.

Growth of self, growth of opportunity.

But it can be hard to come by without the right compass points.

Especially in unpredictable times. 

The common pain points I hear from CEOs and Senior Business Leaders  have informed my core modules, designed to create a beacon of clarity and confidence that allow companies and individuals to not just survive, but thrive:

“We have some specific sticking points holding us back.”

"My team is excellent - I just have one person who's tricky."

"I don’t want big, expensive strategy confusion.”

"I need a short, sharp accurate compass point for growth.”

"I don’t want a long, convoluted process that pulls my team away from their days jobs”

We are a Boutique Advisory Consultancy that straddles the sweet spot between people, purpose and profit. 

What's a Living Strategy?

Far too many strategy documents end up tucked away in the top drawer, referred to once a year as the urgent drives out the important.

A strategy is a set of choice that inform a decision.  Yet, a decision is just the seed.

It will amount to nothing if you don’t constantly tend to, feed and water it.   

For strategy to be effective it has to  have a sharp focus placed on it continuously. No distractions, no blind alleys. I help to keep leadership teams on track, providing a living strategy map supported with regular compass check-ins.
