Designed for the people side of growing a business
When you start or lead a business, the work is often what you know best.
Then people join.
Suddenly, you are dealing with hiring, communication, expectations, performance, workload, team dynamics, behaviour, documentation, systems and decisions that affect real people.
This guided membership gives you a practical place to pause, think, connect and learn before issues become bigger, messier or more isolating.
Created with HR expertise, coaching insight and practical business experience
Ikonix People Space is a practical community created by Ikonix Business Solutions and led by founder Sharon Banfield.
Ikonix Business Solutions helps leaders and organisations navigate the people side of business through strategic HR consulting, coaching, digital HR, workplace wellbeing and better ways of working.
Sharon brings experience across HR consulting, leadership, coaching, people systems, business ownership and business advisory. This gives Ikonix People Space a practical, business-grounded lens on people decisions, systems, sustainable work and the realities of leading and growing a business.
As membership grows, Ikonix Business Solutions may involve selected team members, contributors, guest experts and partners to bring additional expertise and real-world perspectives to members.

What makes this community different?
Ikonix People Space sits in the space between trying to figure everything out alone and needing formal advisory support.
It helps members build confidence, capability and better judgement with the people side of business so they can spot issues earlier, ask better questions and make clearer decisions before small concerns become bigger problems.
The community is not designed to replace tailored HR, legal, payroll or workplace relations advice. Instead, it helps members understand what they are dealing with, what questions to ask, what patterns to notice, and when a matter may need deeper professional support.
