The CORE Operating Map, CORE Advisory Group
For founders with teams who are carrying too much

A whole year of clarity, built around how your brain actually works.

The CORE Operating Map is a one-session strategic intensive that turns everything living in your head into a sequenced, quarter-by-quarter plan you can actually execute; paced to your real energy, not a fantasy version of you.

One focused session
8 areas of the business
1 year of action, sequenced
Most founders who feel stuck don't have a people problem. They have a structure problem.

When the business runs on what's in your head, it depends on you being at 100%, every day, every week. That's not sustainable for anyone, and it's especially brutal if your capacity isn't the same week to week.

The CORE Operating Map gets the business out of your head and into a plan, so it can run on systems instead of adrenaline; and so you finally know what you're doing this year, and just as importantly, what you're not.

Who it's for

Built for founders who think differently.

Especially late-diagnosed neurodivergent women running founder-led businesses; though the method works for anyone carrying the whole company on their back.

You're the bottleneck

Too much only happens when you do it. The business stalls when your energy dips, and you can't seem to hand things off.

Your energy isn't linear

Some weeks you're unstoppable; others you're barely holding on. Most planning ignores this. This one is built around it.

You start more than you finish

Plenty of ideas, plenty of half-built things. What you need isn't more strategy; it's a sequence you'll actually follow.

You want a real plan, not a vibe

Not a vision board. A concrete, quarter-by-quarter map of what to do, when, and what to deliberately set aside.

The method

The CORE Execution Framework.

Every map is built through the same four moves, designed to capture everything, find what's really going on, and turn it into action.

C
CaptureGet everything out of your head, across all eight areas of the business.
O
ObserveFind the holes: where it leaks, where it breaks, where it depends on you.
R
RedesignDecide the spine of the year, what's active, and what to park, on purpose.
E
ExecuteA quarter-by-quarter plan of checkable action items, sequenced to your energy.
What we map

Eight areas. Nothing important slips through.

We go deep across every part of the business, so the plan is complete, not just the parts that are top of mind.

Growth & FinancesProduct & InnovationOperational Ease VisibilityClient ExperienceScaling / Team Personal Growth★ Energy & Capacity
Energy & Capacity is the difference. No standard planning process accounts for energy variability or burnout cycles. This one builds the entire year around them; heavy work lands in your high-energy windows, and low-capacity seasons hold maintenance and fallback only. That's what makes the plan one you can actually keep.
The experience

How it works.

You don't prepare anything. You show up and talk; the structure does the rest.

1
One live session

We go through it together, screen-shared, with built-in breathers so it never overwhelms. Plan for about 2–2.5 hours.

2
I build your map

I take your answers and build a full year of action items across all eight areas, sequenced to your capacity.

3
I refine it

I review and tighten everything before you ever see it, including the spine of your year and what to park.

4
You get your dashboard

A living map you check off all year, track progress, filter by quarter, and see exactly what's next.

Choose your level of support

The map is the plan. Accountability is how it gets done.

A plan changes nothing on its own. Most founders don't need more strategy; they need someone in their corner making sure the year actually happens. That's why the recommended path includes a year of accountability.

Good questions

Before you book.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. That's the point. You show up and talk through your business with me, live. The session is structured so I ask the right questions in the right order; you just answer honestly. No homework, no spreadsheets, no pre-work.

How is this different from a regular strategy session or VIP day?

Two things. First, it covers all eight areas of the business in one structured pass, so you leave with a complete year, not a plan for one slice. Second, it's built around your energy and capacity, which no generic planning session accounts for. The plan is designed to be one you can actually follow when your energy dips, not just when you're at your best.

What exactly do I walk away with?

A living dashboard: your year mapped across all eight areas, broken into concrete action items, each tagged to a quarter and sequenced to your capacity. You check items off as you go, track your progress, and always know what's next. It's not a static PDF you'll never open again.

Should I get accountability, or just the map?

Honest answer: the map solves the planning problem, but most founders get stuck on execution, not strategy. If you've made great plans before and not followed through, the accountability tiers exist precisely for that. The map is a one-year plan; so a year of accountability matches what you're building. If you're a strong self-starter who just needs the clarity, the standalone Map is a complete offer on its own.

What happens at the monthly accountability sessions?

We meet once a month to review what's moving, unstick what isn't, and re-sequence as your energy and priorities shift through the year. It's where the map stays alive instead of going stale; and where the things you parked get pulled forward when the time is right.

I have a team. Is this the right offer?

The Operating Map is built around you as the founder and how the business runs through you. If your real challenge is team performance, what your people should be doing versus what they actually are; the Team Performance Audit is the better starting point. Not sure which fits? Reach out and we'll figure it out together.
