How I can help

My professional background

I excel in strategic business planning processes, particularly with start up and mid tier companies. I facilitate entrepreneurial seminars and workshops. I have a highly intuitive nature and assimilate information very quickly. I believe all businesses should have clear vision, goals and objectives identified and should always be planning for "what s next" to remain innovative and competitive. I spent over 28 years in the corporate world and have been helping small business owners for over 5 years and my experience has taught me that there is never enough time for planning and yet it always comes to pass that problems or issues are always the direct result of having not planned properly. That s where I come in. While no one has a crystal ball, I enjoy writing the vision and the "options" so that there is always a Plan B. I can help small business owners a great deal in establishing a solid, long term and effective platform from which to start or reinvent their business.
