A simple, trustworthy way to find (and become) leaders who deliver.

HandyFriends is Allsup’s invite-only talent engine and service network. Allsup Brand CVOs invite high performers looking to grow as Balanced Leaders. HandyFriends receive ongoing skill-building and well-scoped opportunities matched to their craft.

Bureaucracy is replaced with clear promises, visible metrics, and accountability.

What is HandyFriends?

HandyFriends is the community where emerging leaders start, learn Allsup standards, and earn greater scope. It’s how we ensure leadership is distributed to the edges, the people closest to the work own the outcome, not a stack of middle managers.

What Clients Get

One place to ask. Submit a clear request and get qualified responses.
Real accountability. HandyFriends sign onto acceptance criteria and visible metrics.
Consistency. Shared playbooks keep quality high without heavy management.

What HandyFriends Get

Fair scope of work, clear standards. Exactly what “good” looks like and in writing.
Pathway to more work. Deliver well → earn invite → receive matched opportunities.
Coaching > Policing. Feedback that helps you level up, not red tape.
A brand that has your back. We celebrate the right wins and stop misaligned work.

Quality & Safety (the non‑negotiables)

Every service runs through the same lens:

Safety & care built into the workflow
Clean communication & handoffs
On‑time delivery with proactive updates
After‑action reviews that fix systems, not people

Our standards are public and teachable. If an engagement falls short, we address it quickly and professionally, and we help close gaps.

Roles inside the Network

CVO: mentors leaders, maintains and reviews playbooks, and sets standards/decision thresholds.
Project Steward: shepherds a specific initiative from request to result; coordinates scope, schedule, and communication.
Service Owner: end‑to‑end accountability for a client promise (quality, timeliness, experience, economics).
