A thinking partner for difficult people decisions.
You& is the app I built for founders with no HR team. Work through it yourself, on your own time, and leave with a one page plan you can act on. No retainer, no scheduling, no waiting until Monday.
I built the thing I keep doing on calls.
Founders bring me the same conversation. Someone on the team is not working out, it has been going on for months, and they have been turning it over alone. They google it and get legal jargon. They look at HR consultants and get retainer pricing.
You& is the third option. You open it when you need it and work through the problem yourself. The framework inside is the one I use in my own practice. It is not a chatbot with a friendly prompt in front of it.
Every session runs the same spine.
You lay out what has actually happened, in order. Then it asks the questions you have been avoiding, or have not thought to ask. What was expected. What the person was actually told. What changed around them.
You leave with a one page plan. What the situation really is, what to do about it, and the words for the conversation you are about to have.
It is not legal advice and it is not someone you hire. It is the thinking you want before you do either.
What you can work through.
Performance concerns and downsizing
Performance problems, redundancy, and the grey area in between. Whether the issue is the person or the role, what has to happen before you act, and how to run the conversation without making it worse.
Hiring
Whether the role is right before you open it, and whether the person is right before you offer. Most bad hires are decided at the job description stage, not the interview.
Raising the bar
Setting expectations people can actually meet, holding the line when they slip, and giving feedback that changes something. This is the work that stops you needing the first tool as often.
Self starter pack
Frameworks and templates you can take and run yourself, for hiring and for building the culture you want.
Nothing sits waiting to be found.
What you write in there is sensitive. Every conversation is permanently deleted two months after it starts. Not archived, not anonymised. Nothing is kept.
When to use You&, and when to call me.
Use You& when you want to think it through yourself. It is there at 2am, it costs nothing while it is in beta, and you do not have to explain your whole company to anyone first.
Book a call when you want someone in it with you. A live situation moving fast, a team you are building from scratch, or a people problem that is bigger than one person.
