I am not your typical business coach. I don’t push one magical system to solve all your problem. I deal in evidence-based strategies and brain science to design a system that fits you.
My background is unique, and it’s exactly why I can help you fix your operations when others couldn't:
Before I was a consultant, I spent three decades in education—from high school classrooms to designing curriculum for the United Nations and C-SPAN.
Why this matters to you: Teaching is the ultimate training for consulting. I know how to break complex, chaotic problems down into simple, teachable steps that your team will actually adopt. I also understand that the biggest hurdle with change management is helping people learn new habits, and I understand the science of how to create a system that works for them. I don't just "tell" you what to do; I build the curriculum for your company’s success.
I spent 18 years living and leading in Germany, Kosovo, France, and Hungary. I’ve served on boards ranging from Scouting America to the Women Business Owners of North Florida.
Why this matters to you: I have navigated complex cultures and systems my whole life. I can look at your business from a 30,000-foot view, spot the friction points, and engineer a path through them.
I know the cost of a business that consumes your life. Years ago, I found myself sitting on a gurney in Urgent Care, EKG leads strapped to my chest, convinced I was having a heart attack. It wasn’t a heart attack—it was stress.
Why this matters to you: I realized that systems create freedom. I rebuilt my life using the same frameworks I now teach you, proving that you can achieve 10x results without sacrificing your health.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I believe in evidence-based results.
One of my top strengths is Learner. I am obsessed with researching the most effective business tools in the world so that you don’t have to. You shouldn't have to spend hours reading business books to find the one nugget that applies to you. I do the reading, the vetting, and the testing.
I act as your Operational Architect. I pull the best tools from the world’s top methodologies to design a personalized operating system that solves your specific bottlenecks.
We build your custom infrastructure using principles from:
The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS): We use tools from Traction to build your "Accountability Chart" and "Scorecard," ensuring you have the right people in the right seats and are running on data, not feelings,.
Business Made Simple (Donald Miller): We implement the "Flight Plan" to professionalize your operations, ensuring your sales and marketing engines are strong enough to lift the plane so you don't crash and burn.
Profit First (Mike Michalowicz): We fix your cash flow chaos. We implement financial principles that ensure you get paid, transforming your business from a cash-eating monster into a profit-generating asset.
The One Thing (Gary Keller): We cut through the noise to find the single domino that, if pushed, makes everything else easier or unnecessary.
The Advantage (Patrick Lencioni): We eliminate confusion and politics by answering the six critical questions that create organizational clarity and health,.
I don't just "coach" you; I help you install these systems directly into your business so it runs like a "well-oiled machine".
I describe myself as a "boat rocker." In my past career, I was let go from a school district for being "too innovative."
I value learning, research, and analysis (my top Gallup strengths). I will not let you settle for "that's just how we've always done it." If you are looking for someone to validate your excuses, I am not the right fit.
But if you are ready to:
Turn your "invisible" business into a visible dashboard.
Stop having to be involved in every step of your business
Think Big (like the time I avoided a hip replacement by training for a 15k run instead).
Then we should talk.
Your business should run like a "well-oiled machine," not a casino that relies on your luck and presence to survive.
Create a business that fuels your life.
