About us
After years working within complex corporate environments, Amanda and Dominique saw an opportunity to do things differently — for themselves and for the businesses they support. They shared a clear vision: to create a business grounded in flexibility, purpose, and practical expertise.
Together, they founded One Step Ahead to support SMEs with both practical training and hands‑on business solutions — helping organisations build capability without the cost or complexity of big‑business consulting. Their work is shaped by real‑world experience and a strong focus on solutions that can be applied immediately.
