We don’t start with the solution.

Jade Theory helps founders and growing teams work through the decisions, recurring friction, and people questions that come with building a business. Start with a guided one- or two-hour session: bring a real situation, and we’ll help you see it more clearly and choose a grounded next move.

WOMAN-FOUNDED & WOMAN-OWNED · BUILT BY A SMALL TEAM OF WOMEN

A thoughtful working moment at a warm, naturally lit desk
What we actually offer

Come as you are. Bring the real question.

We help you think through a live business situation, make a useful decision, or understand what keeps repeating. The right amount of support depends on the size of the question and who needs to be part of it.

01 / A SINGLE DECISION

One-hour session

“We have three priorities and no clear way to choose.”

See the session
02 / A CONNECTED PATTERN

Two-hour session

“This keeps happening, and I can’t tell what we’re missing.”

03 / WIDER CHANGE

Engagement Flow

“The way we work needs to change across the business.”

The work behind the work

Clarity has a human side.

Jade Theory is a woman-founded, woman-owned consulting studio built by a small team of women. We came from startups and fast-moving entrepreneurial teams, where we learned how much shared context, direct conversations, and people close to the work can make possible. We also saw what happens as a business grows: decisions get farther from daily reality, and good people are left trying to make unclear systems work.

We stepped out to build a studio shaped by those lessons, on our own terms. We bring strategy, operations, design, and a real understanding of people into the same conversation. We listen carefully, look for the pattern beneath the immediate issue, and help build a way forward that people can actually use.

You can come to us as you are. You do not need a polished brief or the perfect language for what feels stuck.

What we believe in practice

People carry the work.

We listen to the people living with a decision. Their experience helps us see what a plan is actually asking of them.

Clarity creates agency.

When priorities, tradeoffs, and ownership are visible, people have more room to make thoughtful decisions together.

Trust should feel true.

What a business promises on the outside should match how it works and how people experience it on the inside.

If this feels familiar

Maybe everyone is trying, but you are still the person holding the pieces together. Maybe the same issue keeps coming back, and you are starting to wonder what you have missed. You can bring that here. We’ll listen, sort what is known from what is still uncertain, and help you find a next step that feels possible.

START WITH ONE HONEST SENTENCE
  • “The decision I keep returning to is…”
  • “The last time this happened was…”
  • “I wish someone could help me see…”
Now welcoming pilot clients

Start with a session.

These are focused working conversations with a clear focus, light preparation, and a short written recap. You do not need to know the root cause or choose the perfect service before you contact us.

One hour to find the thread.

$225

Bring one bounded question, a decision that keeps circling, or a priority you cannot quite place. We’ll clarify what matters, name the options and tradeoffs, and find the next decision you can make.

  • A short context prompt before we meet
  • One focused, guided conversation
  • A written recap with the decision frame and immediate next steps
REQUEST A 1-HOUR SESSION

Two hours to make sense of it.

$400

Bring a situation with connected moving parts: a handoff that keeps breaking, competing priorities, or a team waiting on the same approval. We’ll sketch the pattern, separate what is known from what still needs evidence, and sequence a next step.

  • A short context prompt and any relevant examples
  • Time to map relationships, causes, and tradeoffs
  • A written recap with priorities and a grounded next move
REQUEST A 2-HOUR SESSION

Session requests open an email to Jade Theory. We’ll reply personally with availability and next steps before confirming a session.

Before, during, after

What working together feels like.

We make it easy to begin. You bring your experience of the situation; we bring careful questions, structure, and a way to turn the conversation into an actionable next step.

01 / BEFORE WE MEET

Give us the real context.

In your email, tell us what made you reach out, one recent example, and what you would like to leave with. “I’m not sure yet” is a useful answer. We’ll reply personally, confirm the right starting point and availability, and ask only for focused prework. A relevant document is optional.

02 / IN THE ROOM

Think out loud, with a guide.

We’ll listen to the example, explore what has already been tried, and reflect back what we hear so you can correct us. Expect thoughtful questions and room to think. If the issue is larger than one conversation, we’ll identify what evidence and participation would be needed next.

03 / AFTERWARD

Leave with a way forward.

We’ll send a concise recap of what we heard, the working interpretation, what remains uncertain, and a practical next step. If a larger scope would serve you better, we’ll explain the recommendation clearly and leave the decision with you.

The full Engagement Flow

A deeper way through.

Our longer engagement moves through four connected phases. Each one makes the next more useful, so we move when the work is ready.

01 / FIRST

Clarify

Find focus, make the decision landscape visible, and restore room to think.

02 / THEN

Evaluate

Trace recurring friction to its causes, with context and without blame.

03 / NEXT

Align

Turn insight into shared decisions, ownership, and ways of working.

04 / FINALLY

Elevate

Make the internal reality visible in positioning and experience people can trust.

The full Engagement Flow is opening later. If you’d like to hear when conversations begin, send us a note and we’ll add you to the interest list.
