What we do
Most organisations don’t struggle because of strategy.
They struggle because of the talent, leadership and cultural conditions required to deliver it.
​
Talent Hat brings clarity to complex people challenges and turns it into practical action.
No jargon. No over-engineering. Just grounded insight and solutions that work in real life.
​​
Fractional Talent Leadership
We provide senior talent, culture and organisational insight on a flexible basis. This gives founders, CEOs and HR leaders access to strategic judgement, clarity and momentum without the commitment of a full-time executive. We act as a strategic partner, helping shape decisions, strengthen capability and guide the people agenda through periods of growth, change or complexity.
Diagnostics & Clarity
We uncover what’s really driving your talent, leadership and culture challenges. Through focused diagnostics, we identify root causes, friction points, behavioural patterns and structural issues that limit performance. The outcome is clarity: a sharp, practical understanding of what needs to change and a clear plan for what to do next.
Leadership & Culture Development
We help organisations build the leadership behaviours, cultural expectations and talent systems needed for sustainable performance. This includes leadership frameworks, behavioural alignment, culture definition, performance models, succession and capability planning. The aim is to create the conditions where people can perform, lead and grow with confidence.
People Strategy & Organisational Design
We work with senior teams to shape the structures, roles and people strategy required to support growth. This includes reviewing operating models, role clarity, decision-making, workforce capability and future skills needs. We design practical, context led solutions that help organisations scale effectively and avoid common people and structure pitfalls.
Workshops & Facilitation
We design and facilitate workshops that create clarity, alignment and stronger leadership. These sessions help teams understand their purpose, behaviours, roles and ways of working. They are practical, honest and focused on unlocking performance. We also run founder and leadership development sessions that support the transition from early-stage to scaling organisation.
Board & Investor Advisory
We provide independent insight and guidance to boards, investors and portfolio leaders. This includes assessing leadership capability, talent risk, organisational health and cultural conditions that impact value creation. We help decision makers see issues early, and make more confident, informed choices about their people and organisation.
How we work
Welcome to Talent Hat
My name is Sarah Roché
After 20 years leading talent, culture, leadership and employee experience work across some of the largest and most complex organisations globally, I now help founders, scaleups and senior leaders understand what’s really driving their people challenges and what to do about them. My approach blends clear diagnosis, grounded judgement and practical solutions that fit the organisation, not a framework. I work with leaders who want clarity, stronger performance and a people strategy that genuinely supports growth.
