Strategy & Advisory

Helping organisations make confident decisions.

We help purpose-led organisations and leadership teams create clarity, make deliberate choices and turn strategy into meaningful action.

Clarity. Choice. Action.

The best strategies aren't written for organisations. They're built with them.

Smiley Consulting brings people together to create a shared view of where an organisation is going, the choices required to get there and the practical pathway to make it happen.

Because when people help build the strategy, they're far more likely to believe in it, and deliver it.

Testimonials

What people say about working with Smiley Consulting.

“Kim brought an incredible amount of thought, care and rigour to our strategic planning process. She took the time to deeply understand our organisation, engaged all our team and developed a framework that reflected both our ambitions and operational realities. Her ability to create genuine ownership and alignment amongst the team was invaluable, and the final outcome was stronger because of her collaborative approach.”

Ben Waterman

CEO, The Resilience Project

“Kim has been an incredible support to us at Live Life Whole. The level of care and excellence she brings, along with the clarity she's given us around our business strategy and sales strategy, has been invaluable - always directing us with a clear plan to achieve the outcomes we're after. Her approach is professional and extremely transparent, and her genuine warmth as a person is something we've loved having as an extension of our team whenever we've needed her. We highly recommend Kim's services.”

Megan Dickinson & Sarah Roughead

Founders, The Live Life Whole Project

“Working with Kim was an absolute delight. She took the time to understand our mission and purpose and used that alongside her wisdom and passion to reimagine our teenage mentoring program. Kim taught us how to take our values and vision from ideas through to delivering tighter programming with fierce focus and crystal clarity. Thanks Kim for your generosity, wisdom and warmth.”
