Who are we?

Podge Thomas

I’m Podge Thomas, I’m an Operations Designer, the Founder of Small Business Co-Pilot and a Notion creator + consultant.

At Small Business Co-Pilot, we recognise that the psychological effects of harmful workplace cultures are rooted in colonisation and capitalism and that we must closely examine and question the so-called standard practices of business operations in order to re-design better systems.

To challenge these systems, we work with forward-thinking women and non-binary business owners to decolonise the workplace by providing human-first operations solutions.

I’ve been a Notion consultant since 2022 and a Notion user since 2020.

I found Notion because I needed an operational home for my business but I stayed with Notion because its almost infinite customization allows me to create operations and systems that make sense to my neurodivergent brain.

Many of my clients are also neurodivergent and so I can build an operational hub for their business that makes sense for them, all the while, centering the experience of their teams by optimizing for navigability.

Akua Nyame-Mensah

As a certified executive and leadership coach, recognized facilitator, speaker, and host of the Open Door Conversations Podcast, it’s my mission to help entrepreneurial-minded leaders move from precariously juggling too many balls to knowing exactly what to focus their attention on and how to prioritize their energy.

I provide the support I wish I had as a first-time co-founder and managing director launching and scaling a platform for the first African-based tech unicorn, now listed on the New York Stock Exchange. I know firsthand what it takes to connect with the right people to build tech-enabled businesses and teams from the ground up.

FAQs

What can I expect when I order?

After you check out, you'll receive a link to the Notion page. You won't be able to duplicate the main page so be sure to duplicate the dashboard template by going to the top right and 'duplicate'. This will automatically duplicate the template to your Notion account. If you haven’t previously set one up, you’ll be prompted to do so.

Do I need to buy a Notion account?

You will need to sign up for Notion but if you’re not ready to go all-in then Notion’s free version includes Notion’s full functionality which is more than enough to use this template.

I’m completely new to Notion, is this dashboard for me?

This template does use databases and relation properties however, the tutorial will help you navigate the template, especially if you’re brand new to Notion.
