I hate fluff and BS and I’m very informal. 

 

My travel photos are up on the site because a professional business photo shoot wouldn't capture reality. I worked hard to design a life where I’m interspersing work with cool adventures around the world. (So... penguins on my business website. 👏)

 

That extends to how I walk the walk and talk the talk with you. I’m going to tell it to you straight and we’re going to focus on the things that matter. Not the shiny extras. And not necessarily what "experts" say should be done.

 

I love getting things done, NOT talking about getting things done. 

 

We’re going to work on the fly a lot. In the early stages paralysis by analysis is not our friend. We’re going to make things, try things, fix things. We may have to come back and redo them when your team is 25 people as opposed to 5. But we’ll lay the groundwork for that now.

 

I don’t believe that any one-size framework fits all. 

 

Look, I’ve read the business & leadership books and they have lots of great tips and actionable advice.

 

But after being inside a lot of kitchen table startups, it’s never as neat as they make it out to be. And comparing yourself to someone else’s Instagram perfect outside or neat and tidy framework isn’t going to cut it.

 

I’ve worked in many 7-figure businesses that are shiny on the outside and hanging on with Google sheets and duct tape on the back end! 😂

 

I’m a visionary AND an integrator.

 

With years of experience in the role of visionary (in my own businesses) and years as an integrator (in my clients’ businesses), I have an amazing vantage point.

 

Having been on both sides of running a business, I can see the unique problems, and their clever solutions. I've learned a lot about the duality necessary for a business to run at its best. The need for not one, but two people, each with their own strengths, to function together in leading a company. I'm a helluva integrator, because I complement my visionary founders.

​

When I was a kid I wanted to be a camerawoman in Hollywood.

 

Why does this matter?! I think you should know this because I think it helps to explain why I love what I do so much. See, as a kid I loved the idea of being involved in movie making… but heaven forbid I take center stage. I was so shy!!! But I still thought it would be cool to be around all that, but from safely behind the camera.

​

That didn't happen... BUT this fits with where I’ve found my niche as an adult in managing operations.

 

I help you, as the visionary and business owner, to take center stage. I work where I’m happiest, in a supporting role, helping to contribute to the overall final product, but from safely behind the scenes. The better I do my job, the more smoothly things run in the day-to-day and the better the outcomes are for your business. 

 

I’m ADHD and I feel that's helped me to become REALLY good at what I do!

 

Late diagnosed, at age 38, I was finally able to understand myself and many of my entrepreneurial clients so much better. The level of empathy I bring to my work and my coaching has increased 10-fold as I help you to develop systems that work WITH you (not designed by someone else with no concept of what it can be like to be a visionary/and or ADHD). 

 

While not all visionaries nor entrepreneurs have ADHD, I am now well resourced with many techniques I’ve found to be useful across numerous clients, and some of the strategies I’ve developed with my own team for managing our business.

​

This also helps me with the project based work that we do together. I'm grateful every day to do work where the extreme focus of my ADHD gets to shine as I throw all of my passion and attention into solving your problems.
