Nigel Fisher
IMPACT Partner™
I activate founders and leaders in startup, scale-up and shake-up businesses to create meaningful IMPACT.
40 years embedded in UK commercial and personal endeavour. Start-ups, scale-ups and shake-ups.
I have worked alongside founders, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, sales, marketing and business development professionals.
I have collaborated on a vast array of exciting start-up, scale-up and shake-up businesses, some of which have gone on to become major brands, earning the founders and stakeholders millions of pounds on exit.
I have navigated the rough seas and still waters of sales, marketing and business development in my own businesses.
I have experienced the turbulence, the chaos, the losses and the rewards.
The most valuable lesson I have learned, by far, when it comes to business is that the business is the game we play in pursuit of something much bigger.
Are your endeavours aligned with what really matters to you?
You embarked on a personal mission.
You started really well. Your priorities were crystal clear. Your direction was set. Ambitious. Energised.
Up for the challenge.
Achievement has come quickly.
You hit the target!
You have accumulated material proof to your peers that you are capable of high achievements.
Your reputation is established.
You are known as someone who delivers, who gives freely of their energy, their knowledge, their time, and is willing to contribute, and even lead, financially.
What has changed?
You now feel challenged in a different way.
Tension and inertia have crept in.
The scale you imagined feels just out of reach.
Your energy, your time and your resources are being consumed. Not applied.
You are fighting to maintain the status quo.
You are now operating in High Maintenance Mode
You are struck by inertia. Unable to execute the plan.
This is far from the original intention.
Being on the edge of execution without being fully activated is a lonely and frustrating place to be.
It is not unusual
I see that you settled for a while to enjoy the trappings of early achievement and moral victory. And you were absolutely right to celebrate and take a breather.
I sense that you recognise that you spent a little too long in that place and that you are now struggling to get going again.
I have also felt the anguish of having to galvanise yourself to go again, and not for the last time.
I, too, have searched for that elusive sign that it is time to take action. And yes, it is actually harder than when you first started.
Self-reliance in High Maintenance Mode is exhausting, and moving on seems almost impossible.
Profit and material reward are all well and good.
They can be accumulated and enjoyed along the way. And if that is what drives you alone, I commend you on knowing precisely what you want and join you in celebrating your achievement.
I can get you back to making an IMPACT.
Reconnecting with your Aspirational Outcomes requires
ACTIVATION
We need to recharge your emotional and creative resources and redeploy them as an investment in what is yet to come.
My Name is Nigel Fisher, and I co-create IMPACT with founders and leaders who are ready to go again.
What is it to be?
Remain standing on the edge of execution
Or do we go again?
