Work With Litsa - Business coach in Manchester
Strategic thinking. Confident action.
Sustainable momentum.
Where established founders & leaders cut through complexity, scale with clarity, and move forward with focus.
Hi, I’m Litsa. Strategic business mentor & coach.
I work with service-based founders and senior professionals who’ve built successful businesses — and are ready to lead them more intentionally.
My role is part strategist, part coach, part mentor. Together, we step back from the day-to-day, sharpen your thinking, and design practical plans that actually work in the reality of your business, and you (your goals, your energy, your time, your values, your lifestyle).
You’ve built a fantastic business.
So why doesn’t it always feel fantastic?
Here's something I see again and again with the founders and leaders I work with.
On the surface, things are working. The business is established. Clients are happy. The work is good.
But behind the scenes, it often feels heavier than it should.
You might recognise some of this:
• You're delivering constantly and rarely get space to step back and think
• Everything feels important, which makes it hard to know where to focus
• The business has grown, but the way it runs hasn't quite caught up
• You know something needs to change, but you're not sure where to start
If that sounds familiar, you're probably the kind of business I work with.
There are a few different ways I support founders, leaders and teams at this stage.

What my clients say

![Website copywriter Zo Connected]()
It’s likely no coincidence that I’ve had my highest revenue month since my work with Litsa — and that’s just better capacity planning and clear boundaries with client requests.
Sitting down with Litsa finally gave me reassurance that my business wasn’t in control! I was. And she helped me reverse engineer what I was doing to give me more structure and focus on what I was delivering. Her reassurance that my business was already successful but just needed tweaking to make it work for me gave me such a lift. And since our strategy session, I’ve gone away and already started to make changes. While it’s not ‘quick fix’ work, I now have direction on changes I need to make — and that’s huge in itself because I feel calm and confident (even when client work is busy!).

“Opening yourself up completely to someone can be scary and I felt a little vulnerable at first. Having no prior knowledge or experience of running a business I knew I was out of my depth and it almost felt embarrassing to admit that initially. But Litsa is so reassuring and completely non-judgmental that I felt totally at ease discussing all aspects of the business with her.
She is so approachable and personable and she knows instinctively if you're not 100% sure about something and will be kind and patient at all times.”

Abigail Withey, Social+ With Abi
“Working with Litsa hasn't just changed my business...it's had a huge impact on my LIFE! I'm in a completely different position to where I was 4 months ago, I've gone from feeling like an employee to my clients, reshuffling my whole diary/calendar around to work for other people (and not me!), lack of clarity around my services and finances to the complete opposite. I'm able to make strategic decisions around my business because I actually understand my numbers now, I'm now in control of my calendar and have a new scaffolding / weekly framework in place which means I can plan ahead and not work every hour of the day, and have brilliant working relationships (including clear boundaries and ways of working!) with my clients too.“I can't quite believe the difference in myself and my business - it's been a complete game changer!”
