Consult and Grow

When you need expert advice on what to do next…I can help.

What are you looking for?

  • An objective sounding board

    As your business grows, you face new challenges and new decisions. It’s helpful to talk things over with an advisor who brings fresh ideas and perspectives from more than two decades of business consulting.

    We’ll set up regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly sessions to discuss the decisions you’re facing as your business grows.

  • Guidance to transform your business

    I work with you and your key staff to identify what’s preventing the business from growing smoothly and profitably. Then I suggest solutions that fit with the culture of the business, are practical to implement, and will deliver more productivity.

    Together, we’ll develop a plan to make operational changes with as little disruption as possible. If needed, I can guide the implementation process as well.

Let's Talk

“Since we began working together, I have seen such a positive impact & have thoroughly appreciated your guidance, knowledge, support, & candor… You have been an invaluable resource and one of the best decisions I have made in 11 years of entrepreneurship.”

Rachel Werner, RBW Strategy

  • I’ll interview you and your staff to begin assessing operational strengths and weaknesses that affect your capacity to serve customers well - and ultimately your profitability. I look for areas where processes and systems are less efficient or effective than they could be. I review the information each person needs to do their job well, and how it flows through the organization. I look for opportunities to make the most of your existing staff. And I also keep an eye out for potential risks.

    Once I’ve done my initial assessment, I review my findings and recommendations with you to prioritize changes and discuss options for implementation. You’ll be informed and in control during the whole process.

  • We’ll agree on a regular day and time to meet, typically for an hour per session, on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule. You’ll bring the topics you want to discuss, and I’ll listen, ask questions, and give you feedback, advice, and ideas.
