The Cadence Method:
The Aligned Business
Accelerate Performance. Activate Your Vision.
You’ve built something real. The numbers prove it. The market recognises it. But success without alignment is never sustainable. Success has started to feel heavy. You’re delivering - yet overextended. Vision is clear, but traction feels fragile. You’re ready to enter your next chapter with clarity, conviction, and confidence - in yourself and in your business.
Ready to Realign and Rise?
Does Your Success Feel Heavy Instead of Free?
✓ Growth has stalled - momentum feels inconsistent and hard-won.
✓ You’re stuck in the weeds - there’s no protected space for strategic thinking.
✓ Strategy lacks traction - plans exist, but execution slips.
✓ The team isn’t stepping up - ownership and accountability are uneven.
✓ Progress is fragile - results depend too much on you.
✓ The business isn’t scalable - too many dependencies on your time and judgement.
✓ You’ve tried consultants and courses - but nothing sustains.
✓ You’re ready for more - but can’t keep pushing like this.
If you answered YES to any of the above let me show you another way.
In 6 Months, You Could Be Leading With Clarity - and Scaling With Purpose.
Imagine this:
✓ You’ve accelerated performance and activated your vision.
✓ You lead with clarity, conviction, and confidence - and your business reflects it.
✓ You have time to think, plan, and set direction - not just put out fires.
✓ Your executive team owns outcomes - you’re no longer the bottleneck.
✓ Enterprise value grows - not just revenue.
✓ You feel like you again - clear, focused, and free.
This isn't a dream. It's the natural outcome of realignment.
It's Not You. It's the Way You're Leading.
You’re not broken.
You’ve simply outgrown the operating model of your leadership.
You’ve hired talent, installed systems, read the books - and still, change doesn’t stick.
Because tactics without alignment won’t scale.
You can’t hold an enterprise together through force of will forever.
It’s time to build a business - or division - that holds you.
From CEO to Coach: A Partner Who's Been in the Trenches.
My name is Liz McMillan - Business and Executive Advisor, two-time CEO, and creator of The Cadence Method.
I’ve spent 35,000+ hours building and scaling high-growth companies across the US and Australia - from startup scrappiness to 9-figure exits. I’ve been the operator, the strategist, the executive, and the coach.
I know what it’s like to lead a business or manage a P&L while carrying the weight of growth, vision, leadership, and personal purpose.
And I know what it takes to break through.
That’s why I created The Cadence Method: to help CEOs and senior P&L leaders realign leadership, strategy, and operating systems - so your business doesn’t just work… it works for you.
Your Success Matters - to You, Your Family, and Your Future.
If you’ve landed here, it’s because something inside you knows:
There’s more.
More clarity. More alignment. More value. More you.
And here’s the truth: your success matters. Your success shapes your family’s future, your team's careers, your community's opportunities.
When you thrive, everything around you thrives.
The Real Levers: Leadership, Strategy, and Alignment.
Scaling isn’t about doing more.
It’s about aligning who you are with how you lead and what you’re building.
When your leadership and strategy are aligned, everything flows:
✓ Create space to think big and act with intention
✓ Build trust in your team and transfer ownership
✓ Design systems that generate results without constant input
✓ Grow a business or team that creates impact and value
Aligned Leadership and Strategy are the levers.

If Nothing Changes... You Risk Building a Future You Don't Even Want.
Let’s get honest for a second.
You didn’t step into leadership to feel trapped in it.
You chose it for freedom, fulfilment, and value.
But if you don’t stop and realign now -
✓ You’ll keep spinning in the same cycle of delivery and exhaustion.
✓ You’ll stay reactive instead of strategic.
✓ You’ll build more scope revenue, but not more scale or sustainability.
✓ You’ll lose energy, clarity, and joy - until there’s nothing left to give.
And worst of all? You might craft a career that looks successful from the outside - but doesn’t feel like success on the inside.
You’re not just building for this year.
You’re building your legacy.
And that legacy is too important to leave to chance.

Born From Experience.
Built For Leaders Like You.
For years, I led companies through transformation - scaling teams, delivering results, and creating value at every turn.
But while the businesses were thriving, I was disappearing behind the scenes.
I was the one holding everything together - at home, at work, in life.
Until the day it all collapsed.
What followed wasn’t just a professional reset - it was a complete realignment of how I wanted to lead, live, and build.
Out of that experience, The Cadence Method was born.
It’s the product of everything I’ve lived and led - designed for CEOs and executives who have built something real but know, deep down, they’ve outgrown the way they’re leading.
It’s not about doing more - it’s about aligning your leadership, your operations, and your vision so your business doesn’t just work on the outside - it feels right on the inside.
This is where purpose meets performance.
Where structure meets soul.
And where you finally build a business that’s designed to support the life - and impact - you’re here to create.
The Cadence Method
Five Steps to True Business Transformation
The Cadence Method is a complete transformation system - built to realign how you lead and what you’re building.
The Cadence Method: The Aligned Business is a business coaching and consulting program created for business owners, CEOs, COOs and senior P&L leaders who are ready to shift from hustle to alignment. You’ll reconnect to the purpose that fuels you, and reshape your business into something structured, scalable, and deeply valuable. You’ll move from growing by force to growing by design - and build a business that fulfils your purpose and funds your future.
-
We begin with clarity. You’ll learn how to evaluate your business like a CEO, with practical tools that build objectivity and insight. Through a powerful 140-question audit and a strategic feedback process (“Tell me what I need to know”), you’ll uncover what’s working, what’s holding you back, and what must shift. We close this section by turning insight into action - with quick wins and a focused list of critical issues to address.
-
You’ll reconnect to the reason you started. Together, we define your purpose, mission, and vision - turning them into practical tools that guide your decisions, energise your team, and bring long-term meaning to what you’re building. This is where your leadership starts to feel purposeful again.
-
Your values already shape how you show up - now they’ll shape how your business runs. You’ll discover your core values, define what they look like in action, and embed them into your team rhythms, policies, hiring practices, and leadership behaviours. This is where your culture and performance start working in sync.
-
With clarity and alignment in place, we define what matters next. Using the OKR framework, you’ll set meaningful strategic goals and measurable results, grounded in your mission. You’ll also uncover the shifts required to achieve them - what we call Business Imperatives. These aren’t just goals - they’re your next chapter, with built-in momentum and accountability.
-
Here, we zoom out. You’ll learn to evaluate and grow your business through five key drivers of long-term value: Ownership, Brand, IP, Culture & Talent, and Performance. You’ll define your Investment Thesis - a compelling vision of what you’re building and why it matters - and map a two- to five-year roadmap for value creation, freedom, and future growth.
Here’s how the transformation unfolds:
This isn’t about chasing more.
It’s about coming home - to your purpose, to aligned leadership, and to a business that reflects who you are now.
The Cadence Method: The Business Transformation is your invitation to realign how you lead and what you’re building - so it sustains the life, legacy and impact you’re truly here for.
Still Wondering? Let’s Get Real.
✗ “I don’t have time to slow down for coaching.”
✓ That’s exactly why you need it. Coaching creates the protected space that breaks the cycle.
✗ “I’ve already tried other consultants, programs, and books.”
✓ This isn’t a template. It’s transformation - built for action and accountability.
✗ “Things are working okay. I don’t want to break what’s already working.”
✓ But is it working for you - and will it scale without you?
✗ “What if I invest and nothing changes?”
✓ With aligned implementation, change compounds - quickly.
✗ “Can’t I just figure this out myself?”
✓ Maybe. But how long have you been trying?
✗ “I’m not sure this is the right time.”
✓ There’s no perfect time. But there is a cost to waiting.
Is This the Right Fit for You?
✓ You run a scaling business or team that’s become heavy, reactive, or misaligned.
✓ You want to accelerate performance and activate your vision in six months.
✓ You’re ready to have clarity, conviction, and confidence - in yourself and your business
✓ You’re willing to evolve your leadership to unlock enterprise value.
This is not for you if...
✗ You’re in startup mode or just looking for surface-level tactics.
✗ You’re unwilling to shift your mindset or leadership approach.
✗ You want fast hacks instead of long-term transformation.
This is your next step.
What Awaits When You Align Leadership With Strategy
✓ Reconnection to your purpose, your vision, and your values - so every decision aligns.
✓ A organisation that compounds value - not just revenue.
✓ A leadership identity that feels powerful, clear, and truly yours.
✓An executive team with shared ownership and accountability that moves with purpose.
✓ An operating model that creates capacity - not complexity.
✓ A strategic roadmap built around your future options - scale, succession, or step back.
And most importantly:
A role and enterprise that feel congruent.
Work that reflects who you are now - and creates the kind of value that sustains you: purpose, impact, freedom, and enterprise value.
