idiom

in a pickle

A difficult, awkward or troublesome situation where it's hard to know what to do. Nothing to do with food, though it pictures being mixed up or trapped — like pickles stuck together in a jar.

unpickle /ʌnˈpɪk.əl/ verb

Not that.

Waseem

Coach and software engineer.

Waseem is a coach and a software engineer. For the past five years he has been helping to build health and wellness brands. He is good at finding what is holding a business back, then building the systems and automations that take it from there. He asks the questions other people skip, he hears what sits underneath, and he is the one who builds it.

02 Why us

You work with the people doing the work.

Two people. One piece of work.

  1. 01 Charley finds what's stuck and puts the experience in the right order.
  2. 02 Waseem builds the system around it.
  3. 03 You work with both. No account team. No handoff.

The point is a business that is calmer and more in your control — simpler, clearer, less waiting on you — without spending the trust that made it valuable.

Getting out of a pickle starts with knowing which one you're in.

Before we promise anything, we check we can actually help. We're selective for a reason — and we'll say so when another path would serve you better.
