When it’s time to make the business changes you know need to be made.
strategic planning
The truth is, a strategy is hard to implement when it is still in your head or on your whiteboard. This work is your essential starting place. We look at your business and team’s capabilities from a big-picture perspective and map out your best path forward.
team performance
Do you have the right team in place? Are they working well together? Many leaders and business owners struggle with the people side of running their businesses. They do not know how to improve it, and the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. I help you break these seemingly impossible problems into bite-sized pieces that can be addressed over time to create the team you want and the culture you need.
organizational effectiveness
Your business is an ecosystem, a collection of valuable resources that need to work together seamlessly. Organizational Effectiveness tools and processes help pinpoint what is not working well in your business and how to bring your organization into alignment. The goal is to optimize your resources to equal MORE than the sum of their parts.
Why It Matters
Making changes can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t know where to start. That’s why I have dedicated my life’s work as a consultant and executive coach to bring leaders practical tools to solve complex business and team challenges. Together we will look at the big picture, the mess, the opportunities, AND the pathways to elegant solutions.
Making the complex…strategically simple!

Change Management – Navigating a significant change such as a reorganization, relocation, or new leadership, requires a plan to keep your business on the right track and your team fully engaged before, during, and after the change.
