I work with founders and leadership teams across a wide range of business stages and challenges. Whether you are considering starting your own business, early in the journey and trying to gain traction, or already operating at scale and thinking about how to grow from seven figures to eight, this advisory work is designed to support real decision-making at each phase.

My perspective comes from building businesses firsthand and working inside complex organizations. I’ve led strategy and working sessions for global enterprises including Coca-Cola, Samsung, and Estée Lauder, while also advising small and medium-sized businesses navigating growth, positioning, and execution constraints. In parallel, I built my own company from the ground up and grew it into a seven-figure business within three years.

This work draws on that full range of experience. Sessions often focus on questions around positioning, growth paths, marketing direction, customer experience, funding decisions, organizational structure, and prioritization. The goal is not theory or templates, but helping you think through what to do next given your specific situation, constraints, and objectives.

Advisory sessions are structured to support judgment and decision-making. They are not executional, do not include done-for-you services, and are not ongoing retainers unless explicitly agreed.

60-Minute Advisory Session

$600.00

A one-hour private conversation focused on a specific question, situation, or decision you are currently facing.

This session is intentionally conversational. There is no formal prep, no intake, and no written output. The value comes from talking through your situation live and getting experienced perspective in real time.

This option works best when you already understand the problem and want help thinking through options, risks, or tradeoffs.

This session is appropriate if you want to:

Pressure-test a decision you are considering
Get perspective on a specific business challenge
Talk through a situation you’re stuck on
Sanity-check your thinking before moving forward

Example:
You’re deciding whether to raise prices, change how you’re positioning your product, or keep things as they are, and you want an experienced second opinion before you make the call.

What’s included

One 60-minute virtual session
Live discussion and feedback
Directional guidance based on experience

Does not include any pre-work, followups or deliverables.

2-Hour Strategy Session

$1,350.00

A two-hour private working session designed for problems that require more time, structure, and focus than a single hour allows.

This session includes light preparation in advance so we can spend the time working rather than getting oriented. The goal is to leave the session with clearer direction and defined next steps.

This option is best when the issue is complex, multi-layered, or tied to positioning, growth constraints, or strategic choices.

This session is appropriate if you want to:

Work through a problem in depth
Break down a complex situation
Evaluate multiple paths forward
Leave with concrete next steps

Example:
Sales aren’t where you expect them to be, and you need help diagnosing whether the issue is your offer, your messaging, or how customers are moving through the business.

What’s included

Short pre-session intake to frame the issue
One 2-hour virtual working session
Structured discussion and problem-solving
Clear takeaways and priorities at the end of the session

This is a full working session. Please review any materials in advance and schedule the session at a time when you can be fully present and uninterrupted.

Full-Day Strategy Intensive

$8,500.00

An in-person, full-day strategic working session for founders or leadership teams facing high-stakes decisions, inflection points, or prolonged uncertainty.

This engagement is designed for situations where focused, uninterrupted time and live collaboration materially change the outcome. The day is structured around the specific challenges you are facing and evolves in real time based on what emerges.

This option is reserved for work that benefits from being done in person.

This intensive is appropriate if you are:

Facing a major strategic or directional decision
Navigating a transition, pivot, or reset
Dealing with compounding or long-standing issues
Working through complex challenges with a leadership team
Preparing for the next phase of growth or funding

Example:
You’re planning for the next 12 months and need to decide which products or initiatives to prioritize, which ones to stop funding, how to reposition the business in the market, and whether raising capital makes sense right now.

What’s included

Full-day, in-person working session
End-to-end diagnosis of key challenges
Customer or business journey mapping where relevant
Review and refinement of marketing or growth strategy
Discussion of funding options, timing, and tradeoffs when applicable
Live synthesis and prioritization throughout the day
Designed for founders or leadership teams

NYC-based. Travel to other locations is available and billed separately.

Quarterly Group Discussion | 2/7/26

$199.00

90 minutes | $199 per participant | Limited to 7 people

This is a small, 90-minute group session for early-stage and growing business owners who want help thinking through where they are, what’s getting in the way, and how to start the year on a stronger note.

The session is conversation-based. Participants will have the opportunity to share what they’re working on, ask questions, and learn from how others are approaching similar challenges. The value comes from hearing real situations, talking through them together, and getting perspective you may not get when working alone.

This is not a workshop or a lecture. It’s a guided discussion designed to help you think more clearly about your business and next steps.

Each session is capped at 7 participants to keep the conversation focused and useful.

This option is best for people who are not yet ready for 1:1 advisory but still want exposure to strategic thinking.

This session is appropriate if you are:

Early in your business or idea stage
Trying to figure out where to focus your time and energy
Feeling unsure about next steps or direction
Looking to learn from other founders facing similar challenges
Not ready for 1:1 advisory yet, but want real perspective

Example:
You’ve started a business or are about to, but you’re juggling too many ideas and conflicting advice. You want to hear how others are approaching things like getting their first customers, prioritizing what actually matters, and avoiding mistakes that slow progress early on.

What’s included

One 90-minute live group session
Guided discussion led by Lola Banjo
Opportunity to share your context and hear from other founders
Live pattern-spotting, perspective, and synthesis throughout the session
Space for questions, discussion, and peer learning

This is a conversation-based session. It does not include pre-work, individual deliverables, or personalized follow-ups.
