Practical, reliable support for consultants and business owners who need more structure, better organisation and time to focus on their business.
Does any of this sound vaguely familiar?
Meetings generate plenty of ideas and decisions, but the follow-up doesn’t always happen.
Important information is spread across emails, documents, spreadsheets and notebooks.
Client relationships, opportunities and outstanding actions are becoming harder to manage.
Processes exist, but they’re not properly documented or consistently followed.
Everyday administration keeps slipping down the to-do list.
You’re spending too much time organising the work instead of getting on with it.
These aren’t necessarily big problems individually, but together they can slow things down and make running your business harder than it needs to be.
You don’t always need more people, more meetings or more software. Sometimes you just need the right support and a little more structure.
I’m Lisa, the person behind Take Up The Slack. I help consultants and business owners turn conversations into clear actions, organise information, build practical systems and keep the day-to-day work moving.
Whether you need support with a particular project or someone to take responsibility for ongoing tasks, I bring structure and organisation to the work happening behind the scenes.
Every business works differently, so the support I provide depends on what you need, how you work and where your time is being spent.
Turning conversations into clear, structured outputs.
Meetings, workshops and strategy sessions often generate valuable thinking, decisions and actions.
I turn recordings, transcripts and discussions into structured reports that capture what matters, what was agreed and what needs to happen next.
I also provide ongoing documentation and operational support for consultants managing multiple clients and projects.
Keeping client relationships, actions and opportunities organised.
When you’re managing several clients, projects and opportunities, keeping track of everything across spreadsheets, emails and notes can quickly become complicated.
The Consultancy Operating System brings your pipelines, client information, tasks and project risks together in one structured application.
It’s designed around the way your consultancy operates, helping you see what’s happening, what needs attention and where action is required.
Turning business knowledge into practical processes and working documents.
As a business develops, processes and important information often remain in people’s heads or scattered across different documents.
I help turn that knowledge into clear, structured documentation that can be followed and used.
From operations playbooks and process documentation to Ideal Client Profiles, the aim is to make your business easier to manage, more consistent and less dependent on memory.
Taking care of the everyday tasks that keep your business running.
Not every task needs your personal attention, but it still needs to be done.
I provide practical, ongoing support with administration, client coordination, marketing activities, financial administration and general business organisation.
Whether you need a few hours of help each week or more consistent support, I can take responsibility for the agreed tasks so you have more time for your clients and the work you do best.
My approach is built around three things.
Taking information, tasks and processes that feel scattered or difficult to manage and bringing them into a clear, usable structure.
Taking responsibility for the work we’ve agreed, keeping track of what’s outstanding and making sure important details aren’t overlooked.
Keeping information accessible, documentation up to date and everyday activities moving in the right direction.
Whether I’m preparing a meeting report, building an operations playbook, updating a client system or managing ongoing administration, the approach is the same.
Clear information, defined actions and practical support that makes your working day easier.
I work closely with consultants and business owners who have plenty of ideas, conversations and moving parts, but not always the time to organise everything properly.
For one sales and strategy consultant managing multiple engineering and technology clients, that means producing 15–20 leadership meeting reports each month, documenting strategy workshops and keeping operational information organised.
For a workplace wellbeing consultancy, it meant developing a structured Ideal Client Profile to bring clarity to its target audience, messaging and commercial approach.
Different businesses. Different requirements.
But the same underlying objective: turning information and activity into something clear, organised and useful.
You might need a one-off meeting report, help documenting your business processes, a system to manage your consultancy or ongoing support with everyday administration.
There isn’t one approach that suits everyone.
Some services are delivered as individual projects with a fixed fee, while others are available through monthly support packages.
We can look at what you’re trying to achieve, what’s taking up your time and which arrangement makes the most sense for your business.
Whether you’re struggling to keep on top of everyday administration, managing multiple clients and projects or simply need better systems and organisation, I can help.
From structured reports and business documentation to ongoing operational support, I’ll help you get things organised so you can focus on running your business.
