Ogilvie Advisory

Strategic advisory for leaders who want stronger businesses, braver teams and clearer decisions.

Business is never only about business.

Behind every strategy, acquisition, leadership challenge, or period of growth are people making decisions under pressure.

  • Fear influences judgement

  • Confidence affects performance

  • Communication shapes culture

  • Unresolved tension impacts teams

  • Instinct shapes leadership decisions

The most successful organisations understand that commercial performance and human dynamics are deeply connected.

Featured Service

Money Confidence & Wellbeing Workshops

Financial wellbeing is about far more than numbers. Many people carry stress, anxiety, or silence around money without fully understanding how those feelings affect confidence, communication, and decision-making.

Heather delivers practical and supportive workshops designed to help individuals better understand their relationship with money, build confidence around financial conversations, and develop simple tools for managing day-to-day finances with greater clarity.

Sessions combine emotional awareness with practical financial understanding in a way that is accessible, human, and judgement-free.

Topics include:

  • Understanding money beliefs, habits, and behaviours

  • Why money can feel emotional or difficult to discuss

  • Separating personal worth from financial circumstances

  • Building confidence around financial conversations

  • Understanding payslips and personal finances more clearly

  • Practical monthly cash flow forecasting and planning

  • Reducing financial overwhelm and anxiety

  • Developing stronger everyday commercial awareness

Workshops can be delivered as half-day wellbeing sessions, leadership initiatives, or tailored employee support programmes.
