Helping good organisations turn purpose into practice
From the boardroom to the back office, I help you find clarity, build the right structures and deliver on what matters most.

Still hands-on!
Dr. Janka Rodziewicz
Janka is great to work with - she is very reliable, conscientious and hard working. She has great attention to detail and is certainly a team player.
Hi, I'm Janka. I've spent over fifteen years in the seat you might be sitting in now: leading charities and purpose-driven businesses through growth, cultural change, and the kind of financial stabilisation that keeps you up at night.
I know what it takes, in every sense. I founded Copper Fern to bring rigour, experience, and a calm steady hand to that next stretch, making it less daunting, less lonely, and a great deal clearer, so you can lead with calm and confidence again.
Do these sound familiar?
"Our purpose is clear, our path isn't. How do we find direction we can all get behind?"
"We've grown faster than our structures. How do I tell what's working and what is holding us back?"
"We're doing good work, but how do we show it, sustain it and build something that holds strong, year after year?"
Client Outcomes
A clear, independent and experienced view of your organisation as it really is: what's working, what isn't, and what to address first. No surprises, no jargon, just an honest picture you can act on.
Clarity on where you stand
A path you can lead from
A strategy that's not just on paper, but one your board, team, and partners can all stand behind, supported by the strategic plan, operational plan, and measures to deliver it. Direction that connects your purpose to the day-to-day, all the way down to what gets done this quarter.
Foundations that hold
Governance, structures, and ways of working that hold steady through growth and change. So your good work outlasts any one person, and your purpose stays the point.
Services
Discovery
When governance, leadership, or reporting feel unclear, inconsistent, or overdue a fresh look. Or when things aren't quite working, and the reasons aren't quite clear.
I carry out an independent review of how your organisation actually works, and give you a plain-English plan to address what we find.
Outcome: A clear picture of what's working, what isn't, and exactly what to do next.
Strategy
When big decisions about direction, structure, or sustainability keep coming back to the table without ever quite getting answered.
I bring your board and leadership together to define purpose, direction, and the strategic plan to deliver it, built for your organisation, not lifted from a textbook.
Outcome: A strategy your whole organisation understands, owns, and can act on.
Improvement
When plans, accountability, governance documents, reporting frameworks or impact measurement are missing, outdated or no longer fit for purpose.
I design practical, tailored tools and frameworks, built around how your organisation actually works and ready to use from day one.
Outcome: The structures and systems to lead confidently, report clearly, and prove the difference you make.
Free Organisational Health Check
Unsure where to start?
Every organisation has the bits that work, the bits that wobble and the bits no one's quite had time to look at.
A free, no-obligation organisational health check is a friendly conversation to help you see the picture clearly and spot where focused attention would make the biggest difference.
