Strong Mountain Consulting
Strong Mountain Consulting is the corporate advisory arm of Nic Monteforte's work. Growth strategy, operational execution, and the leadership capacity to carry both.
The work spans banking, hospitality, property and strata, fitness, and professional services, at executive and board level.
Four situations that bring people here.
Growth has stalled. The plan reads well on paper and is not translating into results.
The business is scaling faster than the operating model can carry, and margin is leaking somewhere nobody can name.
The executive team is capable but fractured. Decisions that should take three days are taking three weeks.
The leadership group is running on empty, and output is dropping in ways the numbers have started to show.
Three areas, one engagement.
Growth and operating strategy
Setting the direction, then rebuilding the processes and accountability underneath it so the strategy executes. Includes strategic growth planning, operational strategy and execution, and profitability work.
Executive and board advisory
Direct work with CEOs, founders and boards on the decisions that do not have a clean answer. Board advisory, executive coaching, and career growth coaching for senior leaders.
Leadership capacity
Education, training and keynote speaking built on the Stress Debt Economy. A leadership team running on depletion will lose to a less talented team that is not.

Since working with Nic as my executive growth mentor, I've been elevated to an entirely new level of operation. Her blend of wisdom and performance has been a true game changer.
Shane Fitzgerald — Managing Director, Milky Lane HoldingsNicole helped me re-invent my business and, more importantly, ME. She's my independent advisor who always provides frank and neutral advice, sometimes hard to hear. My only regret is not finding Nicole earlier in my career.
Mary Doube — CEO & Co-Founder, AviianaAny CEO or business leader would be lucky to have her in their corner. She has an uncanny ability to break down complex issues, making them manageable and, more importantly, conquerable.
Isaac French — Director, Super Nice AdviceNicole is a force of nature. A majestic, all-seeing and formidable business coach who combines her track record in real business with an impressive emotional quotient to draw the best from teams.
Emma Barry — Founder & Chief, Trouble GlobalThe biggest thing she taught me wasn't meditation. It was the distinction between thinking and knowing. Once I had headspace, the next moves were obvious. I cut costs, repositioned the company, and got momentum back.
Wes Bush — Bestselling Author & CEO, ProductLedNicole is purpose driven, results focused and practical, but most importantly human and real, which is a powerful and often rare combination.
