Built for leads
at fast-moving tech companies.
No consultants.
No workshops you forget
by Friday.
Just leads, helping leads.
the bottleneck.
In fast teams, the most capable people become Default Fixers.
You're sharp, you move fast, you have the answers — so every Slack thread,
every blocker, every decision gets routed to you.
It feels like being useful. It isn't.
When you spend your day fixing, you aren't leading.
You're a helpdesk with a senior title.
And the team never learns to own the problem,
because you always own it for them.
- Burnout creep. You're doing your job and everyone else's.
- Strategic invisibility. Your best thinking disappears behind execution noise.
- Career stall. You're proving you're a great IC, not a leader.
- Zero recovery time. Deep work gets squeezed to Sunday nights.
- Innovation stalls. The person designing the future is fixing the present.
- No accountability culture. The team never learns to own problems.
- Single point of failure. If you leave, everything collapses.
- Slow decisions. Everything waits for you to weigh in.
- Teams that own their work. Accountability becomes the default, not the exception.
- Leaders who lead. Your calendar reflects what your title actually says.
- A coaching culture that scales. You stop being the ceiling and start raising it.
- High-performing teams that innovate — because you gave them the space to.
you are.
Three entry points. Each one stands alone. Each one leads naturally to the next.
Answer 5 questions about how your week actually runs. Amela feeds back a sharp, honest read: where you're over-functioning, what pattern she sees, and what it's quietly costing you. No pitch. No follow-up unless you want one.
Two targeted questions sent async before the call. Then a focused 45-min session: map what's actually on your plate, identify the 3-5 things that should never touch you, and build a simple filter you can use the same week. You leave with a one-page clarity doc.
A practitioner-led peer protocol to break the Fixer habit for good. Weekly sessions, light-touch Slack check-ins, and a peer accountability partner. Designed to fit inside your existing week without blowing it up.
One shift.
Each week has one job. Each session is 45 minutes. No prep required.
We map your actual week against your actual title. What are you doing that someone else could own? What decisions can't happen without you — and why? You leave with a written "stop doing" list and a clear picture of where your time is leaking.
We review the past week — where did you jump in when you shouldn't have? We role-play 2-3 real scenarios using the Lean Back method. You leave with one phrase to use that week instead of answering. Simple. Uncomfortable. It works.
You bring the top 2 questions your team keeps routing to you. Together we sketch a decision tree or a simple doc that answers them without you in the room. Homework: publish it to the team before Week 4. One doc. Real leverage.
We open your calendar together and redesign it. What moves? What gets protected? What gets deleted? You leave with a Week 5 calendar that actually reflects the leader you're becoming — not the fixer you've been.
your week.
Three touchpoints. Low overhead. High signal.
Once a week. No prep. We go straight to what's real right now — what happened, what you avoided, what to try next. Straight to the point, every time.
Two lines, twice a week. Something like: "Did you jump in anywhere you shouldn't have? Name one." Not a status update. Just enough friction to keep you honest.
A partner — another lead in the protocol — who calls you out when you start over-functioning in real time. One call between sessions. No agenda. Just accountability.

Amela works with leads at fast-moving tech companies
who are good at their jobs and stuck in the wrong ones.

not a coaching programme. It's peer-led, built on real patterns
from real tech teams, and designed to create lasting change

The goal is simple: get you back to the work
only you can do.
