My story
Hi, I’m Lydia,
After 15+ years leading and advising global teams through rapid growth, I kept noticing the same patterns repeat themselves. I still do!
Companies invest heavily in Product, Tech and Delivery, but assume people will simply “keep up”.
Two years ago, a company restructure pushed me to rethink my next move. And in the middle of all that, I discovered I'm autistic and have ADHD. That was a real penny-drop moment.
It explained a lot. How I communicate, yes, but more importantly, why I notice the things I do: invisible expectations, decision friction, and the gaps in how roles and responsibilities get handed off. The things that quietly slow teams down or leave capable people out of the loop.
If you’ve read this far, you probably care about this too.
My truth : those patterns aren't down to the people. They're down to how workplaces are set up, how expectations are communicated, how feedback is shared, how roles are assigned and how comfortable people feel in the process.
That’s why I set up Labyrinth Consultants, to help founder-led teams get decisions made, ownership clear, and work shipped without everything routing back to you. It's what the Untangle Sprint was built for.
What we work on
The messy middle of growth looks different for every business, but the impact of untangling it tends to follow a pattern: faster decisions, clearer ownership, a team that stops waiting for you.
When we work together you can expect :
Decisions that get made and stick
Work that moves without you chasing it
Everyone knows what they own
A team that operates without you in every loop
Clear, flexible, and scalable.
This typically results in
Clear decision ownership across the team
Team rhythm without founder input
New hires productive in weeks
Growth that doesn’t have to depend on you
Predictable delivery without chasing
Leadership teams working in rhythm
Ready for clearer decisions, stronger delivery, and your calendar back as you grow?
Still deciding? Here's what the health check covers...
Team Health Check
“Why does everything still come back to me?”
“I've hired brilliant people. So why does it feel like I'm still doing it all myself?”
“What if I've built something that only works because I'm in the middle of it?”
If any of those landed, this is for you.
Not because something is wrong with you or your team.
The way your business works was built for a version of the company you've already outgrown.
And that gap has a very real cost.
Every week it goes unnamed. Decisions stall. Revenue slows. Your best people are waiting for direction they shouldn’t need. And you stay stuck in the business instead of growing it.
A free 3-minute diagnostic built on 15 years of working inside scaling teams.
It pinpoints exactly what’s quietly costing you revenue, speed and talent. It gives you personalised insights and actions so you know exactly what to do next.
In three minutes you'll discover:
Where decisions are stalling and what's causing them to land back on your desk.
Where delegation is breaking down and what to address first.
Where misalignment is quietly slowing your team's output and how to close that gap.
So that your team moves faster without waiting on you. Decisions get made at the right level. And growth stops depending entirely on you.
