Who Are We?

Our Story

Each July, there is a lavender festival nearby.  I had always wanted to go, but had not been able to make it happen.  Finally, I was able to swing it.  I was so excited.  But there were so many different lavender farms to choose from, and only so much time.  Of course, I turned to Google, as one does, and selected the cutest little farm to check out.  When we arrived, I found myself in a delightful conversation with the proprietors about small business life, the farm being a family operation, complete with the mascot dog.  As I was talking with them, I shared with them what I had found on the internet that swayed me to come to their farm, as opposed to the larger operation a few miles away.  Instantly, the owners perked right up, thrilled for the feedback and thanking me profusely.  I shared with them a couple of ideas, from one small business owner to another.  It was one of those feel-good moments in business networking.  Hopefully you can relate.  It was not an unfamiliar experience for me, but it was an influential one, because I finally owned my love for helping small businesses.  And here I am.  I’ve helped businesses across a wide variety of industries, business sizes, and ages.  And I can help you.  It’s time to level up!

Extraordinary Experiences

I’m an extraordinary learner, which means you don’t have to be.  I’ve spent the past 20 plus years in business honing the craft of excellent leadership, team building, restructuring, and culture building.  I’m successful in business because I know “the rules,” and I know how and when to break them.

Starting with our family business in retail when I was teen, I’ve spent a lot of time across a wide array of industries, including the trades and contracting, and even teaching.  I’ve got nearly 20 years of business ownership, change leadership, and growing a business.  

 I’ve got extensive experience balancing work life with parenting, including running a business from home while parenting small kids.  Yes, I can help you improve that front.
