Grow Your Business

Build the management capacity to reach new levels.

Free Your Time to Focus on the Future

As an entrepreneur or small business owner, it's natural to take on many roles and responsibilities. A mantra that has likely served you well is "whatever it takes." As your business grows, it becomes necessary to share management tasks with formal and informal leaders. By sharing the load and dividing responsibilities, you'll free up more of your time and mental energy. You'll also be able to tackle more ambitious goals for your business.

By The Numbers

According to a study from EY, only 1 in 7 CEOs have the leadership skills to execute their strategy. I'll help you challenge the status quo, see where other leaders fall short, and avoid the traps that derail many entrepreneurs and small business owners. After our work, you and your team will have the tools to thrive.

Workshop Feedback

"Prior to this workshop, I noticed that we have high percentage of people that are stressed by uncertainty and change. This workshop solidified this observation. The good news is now we have a conversation piece and tools to help our peers with this stressor."

A manager's job is to plan, organize, lead, build situational awareness, and make adjustments along the way. Managers also must be adaptable and handle uncertainty well. These are some of the core competencies to look for in managers. It's natural to want to promote top performers or longest tenured employees. But unless they are capable and trained to do these things, you're setting them up to fail.
