Who I Work With
Flea Factory exists for individuals, teams, and small businesses who know something is shifting
- even if they can’t name it yet.
This is a space for you if:
-
you feel the old way of working has reached its natural plateau
-
you sense a new direction forming but aren’t sure what it looks like
-
you want to explore new curves before the current one ends
-
you’re curious about new rhythms, new ways of working, or portfolio life
-
you’re leading a team or organisation that needs clarity for what’s next
-
you want grounded momentum without blowing everything up
If you recognise yourself (or your team) in any of these, you’re in the right place.
How It Works
Coaching with Flea Factory is simple,
grounded, and human.
No pressure. No performance.
Just clarity and next steps.
1. Start with a Conversation
We explore what’s shifting — the questions, tensions, and possibilities emerging in your world.
2. Name the New Curve
Together we slow down, listen, and begin to articulate what the next curve might look like — for you, your team, or your organisation.
3. Shape Small, Meaningful Experiments
We design lightweight prototypes and low-risk next steps that help you begin moving toward the new without abandoning what still matters.
4. Build Momentum That Fits Your Season
Coaching becomes a rhythm: reflect, adjust, experiment, grow.
Personal Clarity Coaching
When something is shifting but you can’t quite name it, coaching helps you slow down, tune in, and make sense of what’s emerging.
Explore your wiring, your season, and your passions. Uncover the inner nudge calling you toward the next curve.
Curve Jumping
When the old way of working has reached maturity and its natural plateau, this space helps you explore what the next curve could be, while you’re still in the middle of the current one.
For small businesses, teams, and organisations, we work together to shape early experiments, low-risk prototypes, and thoughtful decisions that help you move toward the new without abandoning what still matters.
Portfolio Life & Work Design
Your life isn’t one-dimensional - your work shouldn’t be either.
Build a portfolio of roles, projects, and income streams that reflect your real season and your real strengths - not the old script you’re ready to move past.
The Advantages of Working with
Flea Factory
Clarity That Cuts Through the Noise
Most people come to Flea Factory because something is shifting but they can’t quite name it.
Our work together will help you slow down, tune in, and articulate what’s emerging with honesty and confidence.
Experience That Meets You Where You Are
With years of lived leadership, creativity, and curve-jumping behind me, I bring grounded insight
- not formulas.
You get someone who understands transition from the inside out.
Momentum You Can Feel
Coaching at Flea Factory turns ideas into small, actionable, meaningful experiments.
The result? Forward movement that feels natural, energising, and aligned with your new season.
Meet Richard
I’m Richard Sharp — coach, communicator, and someone who’s lived through more than one curve jump.
My work blends years of leadership, creativity, innovation, and real-world experience helping people and groups navigate transition.
Flea Factory is the space where all of that comes together: a place to explore what’s next with clarity, courage, and grounded momentum.
A Glimpse Into My Work
Helping You Build a Life and Work
That Actually Fits
Every season of life brings new questions, tensions, and possibilities.
Flea Factory exists to create space for you to slow down, pay attention, and name what’s emerging, before you feel forced to make sense of it alone.
My approach is simple: I listen deeply, ask the kinds of questions that help you see clearly, and walk with you as you take small but significant steps toward your next curve.
Whether you’re navigating a career shift, rethinking your creative life, feeling the plateau of an old curve, or sensing a new calling taking shape, coaching gives you language, direction, and momentum.
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you recognise what’s already stirring within you — and supporting you as you move toward it with courage and intention.
