You built this business,

now it’s time to lead it.
Lionesque is a 1:1 strategic advisory for established female business owners. No courses, no done-for-you marketing, just the strategy and the decisions that put you back in the lead of your own company.

The reality

You didn't build this to become its most overworked employee

You didn’t build this to become its most overworked employee. But somewhere between the hiring and the ever-fuller calendar, the business started running you instead.

Now the calendar is full to the brim and you’re still not moving forward. You react to whatever lands in the inbox first, before your actual priorities get a vote. You’re proud of what you built and a little drained by it.

Here’s the thing about that stuck feeling: it’s usually not the symptom you think it is. Underneath the overwhelm there’s one layer that’s blocked, and one decision everything else has been waiting on.

That’s the fixable part. It always is.

Anne Lionesque

Hi there,

I'm Anne

I’ve been in business since I was 24. That’s 12 years of founding companies, freelancing across industries, working with brands, and inheriting a business portfolio that dropped me into boardrooms and a legal fight I didn’t choose.

I have the business-school training in how Fortune 500 companies use strategic frameworks to win their markets. My real skill is translating those frameworks down to a company with no department and no Fortune 500 budget. Yours.

I don’t arrive with your answers. I come in as the catalyst: the person who helps you see the business more clearly than you can from the inside, and decide faster than you would alone. You have everything you need. I’m a piece of the process.

From doing the work
to leading the business

My mission is simple: help women stop surviving their businesses and start leading them. The world doesn’t need more women who are busy. It needs more women who are clear. Who know their territory, own their direction, and move with the kind of confidence that doesn’t require anyone’s permission.

You built this business with your bare hands. Now it’s time to make it roar.

Strategic Decision Call

The decision you keep postponing? We’re making it here.

One decision, put through a strategic lens, rooted in your intuition and backed by my analysis and your real numbers. You leave having made it and committed to it, not with five new tabs open in your head. Good for a crossroads, a pivot, or the choice you’ve been sitting on for a month while your spreadsheet forms opinions.

Monthly strategic advisory

The Stride: Monthly Strategic 1:1 Mentoring

For the woman who’s ready to lead her business properly.

When the business has outgrown the way you’ve been running it, this is where we go deep. Every month we zoom out, strip back the clutter, and build the strategic foundation that lets you operate as the CEO instead of the underpaid employee. Strategic advisory, built around your business, your decisions, and where you’re actually going. (Not coaching. I’ll say it once and mean it.)

€350/month, minimum 6 months

Strategic intensive

Full-day in-person deep dive

Strategic Intensive

You’re the bottleneck, and you know it. This is the day we deal with it.

One full day, in person, the two of us. We take the whole business apart, find the thing actually keeping you stuck in execution, and rebuild the next 90 days around it. You leave with the decisions made and the roadmap written. For the woman who’s done circling the same problem and wants it settled in a day.
