For founders & leaders

RIGHT HAND.

Alice Garside

I work with founders and leaders on the things that don't always get the attention they deserve. Being a calm second brain on strategic support and operational thinking, shaping cultural strategies that make a real difference, and bringing AI into how teams work without losing the human side. After seventeen years inside fast-moving businesses, this is what I love doing.

What I offer

Three areas I know well

A second brain

For founders and leaders who need someone alongside them, thinking ahead, holding the things that get pushed to the bottom of the list. Strategic and operational partnership for the work that shapes everything else.

  • Fractional support and regular check-ins
  • Someone to think with when things feel stuck
  • Making sure the right things (you may not want to do) actually get done

Culture & Wellbeing

Beyond perks, posters and away days, I support on cultural initiatives and strategies that people notice in their week. I have built and run various programmes inside companies of different sizes.

  • Culture and wellbeing strategies
  • Mentoring and onboarding design
  • Inclusion campaigns

AI

I am not a technical AI consultant. I am someone using AI every day in a real business, working out what helps, what wastes time and what teams will actually pick up.

  • Helping teams get started with AI
  • Working out where it actually fits
  • Showing you what is worth trying

Working together

A few different ways in

There is no standard package. We talk through what you actually need, and shape it from there.

01
A defined piece of work
A culture programme, a mentoring relaunch, an internal campaign, a piece of thinking on something you have been stuck on. Defined scope, clear outcome.
02
A few hours a month
For the bits in between, when you don't need someone full-time but you do want someone in your corner who knows what's going on, ready to think through the things that come up, sense-check decisions and be there for a regular call.
03
Just a conversation
Sometimes you want to talk something through with someone who gets it. Send a message and we'll find a time that works.

About me

I'm Alice.

Seventeen years sitting next to founders and senior leaders, in fast-moving start-ups and established businesses. Providing strategic support, leading on culture and wellbeing, and finding the gaps and quietly filling them.

I am still in the work, every day. Which means I bring perspective from now, not memories of how things used to be.

Right Hand is where it all comes together. A way of supporting ambitious businesses from the outside, with everything I have learned from being on the inside.
