Above Below

Above Below — A Creation Consultancy

We consult on conscious creation.

A private consultancy for founders, boards and operators who sense the current configuration of their business no longer matches who they have become. We hold space for clarity, reflection and truth — so the outer structure can follow.

The partners

Tim Snijder

Partner

Tim Snijder

From recruiter to entrepreneur, from operator to owner. More than a decade of building companies, health, wealth and freedom in the outer world and then 7 years of inner work to understand what was creating them.

"I spent more than a decade creating in the outer world. Then I became curious about what was creating it."
Keith Hodge

Partner

Keith Hodge

Partner and creation consultant. Keith's work begins not with a deck or a framework, but with the field a founder is creating from. Strategy, design and execution follow as natural consequences of a coherent inner field.

Full bio coming soon.

Manifesto

The Structural Redesign Manifesto.

12 statements on a new structural design for business.

01

The outer reflects the inner

Every company is a mirror of the field it is created from. Redesign that field and the outer structure has no choice but to follow.

02

Founders are the inner structure

Strategy, culture and execution are downstream of the founder. The most direct lever in any business is the person creating it.

03

Energy is a business metric

How a company feels is not soft. It is the most accurate forward indicator you have — months ahead of any dashboard.

04

We consult, you create

We hold space for clarity, reflection and truth, so you can create and execute.

05

We consult on conscious creation

Not optimising current strategy from the mind, but creating from heart coherence.

06

Coherence is your competitive advantage

Most companies leak energy through misalignment. A coherent company moves with less effort and lands with more truth.

07

The outer structure follows

Operating models, org design and product strategy are consequences of clarity — not substitutes for it.

08

The work is measurable

Clarity compresses time. Decisions get faster. Hires get cleaner. Revenue follows alignment, not the other way around.

09

Money is a multiplier of intent

Capital amplifies whatever it touches. Deploy it from coherence and it compounds. Deploy it from fear and it erodes.

10

Truth before strategy

Strategy built on what we wish were true breaks under load. Strategy built on what is actually true holds.

11

Private, slow, held with care

The work is confidential and unrushed. Real change does not happen on a quarterly cadence.

12

The next decade belongs to the inner

The companies that compound from here will be the ones whose founders did the inner work first.
