When you know something needs to happen, but you can’t quite see the way from here to there.
I’m Kathy Uhlik.
I work with business owners, founders, and interesting people doing interesting things who have an idea, project, opportunity or business challenge they need to make sense of.
Sometimes you need clarity, other times you just need a plan. And sometimes, you need someone who will roll up their sleeves and help you make the ‘thing’ happen.
That’s where I come in! Let’s map it out
Maybe you don’t need more advice
You might just want some help working out what happens next. Or you’ve got a great idea that’s been circling around in your head for months (or years!). You know that project that keeps getting pushed down the list because you don’t know where to start, and you certainly don’t have the time to figure it out.
Maybe there are new opportunities you want to explore, or an event you’ve been aching to create. Or you’ve got so many different ideas going on up there that you have no clue which you should look at first.
That’s what we call the ‘messy middle’, and it’s one of my favourite places to work!
From Chaos to Clarity
Bring me the messy version
It’s not often someone tells you to bring them the messy version!
Tell me what you’re trying to do, what’s getting in the way, what’s already been tried, what’s driving you mad, and what you’d really like to have happen.
I’ll ask questions, do research, challenge a few assumptions, connect some dots, and then together we’ll work out the way forward. You just need to be open, willing to share, and prepared to tread the path unknown.
Sometimes my role ends once we’ve got the map. And sometimes I stay on and help you bring everything to life.
What can we work on?
I’m so glad you asked!
I work best when there’s a problem to solve, something to create, an idea that needs turning into action.

Great! You can see the possibility but you might not know whether it stacks up, or where you should begin.
That’s when I get to investigate it, pressure test it, and work out what it could become.
-
You know what you want to achieve, but finding the time, structure and headspace to make it happen is a totally different matter.
Let me help you turn that project idea into a plan, that I can even help drive to completion with you.
-
It might be a client event, cellar-door experience, a workshop, retreat, industry gathering, launch or even a community event.
We can shape the concept, then I can find the right people and places, coordinate the moving parts, and turn that idea into something people will remember.

Things might be working, for the most part, but too much lives in your head. Decisions aren’t turning into action. Or, over time, you’ve accumulated ways of working that no longer make sense.
Let’s untangle it.

A partnership, new market, venue, supplier, collaboration, product idea, customer experience.
Give me the question and I’ll help you work out what’s possible.

Amazing! Those are often the most interesting ones.
Let’s talk!
Often the first useful conversation is simply about what’s happening in the business, what keeps landing back with you, and where things are getting stuck. From there, we can work out what I could own, coordinate, improve or help move forward.
Tell me what’s going on …
