If you’re anything like the agency owners we work with every day, you’ve hired an experienced team of high-performers—but for some reason, they’re not performing. So you invest in team culture or team-building workshops, throwing good money after bad and never seeing the results you want.
Your agency brings in seven figures a year, so you’re not stressed about investing in your team—if it’s the right investment
You’ve already tried investing in workshops, tools and resources, but none of it was the silver bullet you needed
You want to reduce turnover, and you know the most strategic move is to invest in the people you’ve already hired
You know the our new work-from-home culture demands more of leaders—but you’re not clear how to handle those demands
You feel like you’re always accountable to your clients, but you don’t know to make your team accountable to you
You host weekly check-ins and communicate clearly, so you’re confused when things consistently fall through the cracks
You train your team and delegate tasks, but you feel like they’re not performing at the level they were hired to

You know there’s inherent value in your people—after all, that’s why you hired them. But you can’t expect your team to perform without guidance and resources. You’ve already invested in hiring good people, now it’s time to invest in their growth.
Here’s the thing: Most agency owners start their businesses because they’re passionate creatives or consultants—not because they’re passionate managers. So, they read a book or two, hire more people, then feel frustrated those people aren’t performing at the level they want and need.
The truth is: Managing people and performance isn’t something you can learn from a book or improve with Friday afternoon ping pong and beers. It calls for expertise, analysis, and strategy. It calls for a clear and actionable roadmap—and hands-on support to implement that roadmap.
It calls for leadership—and we know just the leader.
Meet Audrey, founder of AJK, and coach and consultant to agencies like yours. For 20 years, she’s been helping agencies, their teams and projects run more efficiently and effortlessly. She has a Master's in Communications focused on Organizational Development, scaled teams to seven figures, operationalized multi-million-dollar marketing projects, and worked with names like Proctor & Gamble and Pepsi. And she can’t wait to work with you to help your people perform at the level you want them to. It all starts with your leadership.
Equipping Leaders for Success is a seven-month team coaching program for agency owners who want to take their people and performance to the next level.
Working within your agency, Audrey will assess, train, coach, and consult your leadership (including you) to grow the leaders that move your agency forward.
From accountability practices, policies, and procedures to a CliftonStrengths assessment for each leader on your team, we’ll identify what’s working within your agency—and what’s not. Then we’ll map out how to get your agency and people from where they are to where you want them to be.
Informed by our assessments, we’ll customize and deliver live group training programs for your team online, from topics like understanding team dynamics and their importance in leadership to setting clear expectations and holding team members accountable.
Group training is just the beginning of organizational change. We’ll coach each leader on your team one-on-one, so they’re clear on how to apply the trainings. Referencing their individuals CliftonStrengths assessments, coaching will be 100% personalized to each leader.
Team management and accountability is a top-down approach, so we’ll consult with you, the agency owner, and your C-suite to ensure every level of leadership is implementing the program—which may include refreshing policies, procedures, and processes.
We all know the value and necessity of diversity in our agencies, but we don’t all know how to get there. At AJK, we do. A woman of colour, Audrey brings the lived experience—personal and professional—to help your agency become more diverse and inclusive, both in its makeup and in its thinking. Because diverse teams are stronger teams—in more ways than one.
