Not everyone is meant to build teams.

Far too often I see businesses and leaders jump into building internal teams for the wrong reasons.

Think about it. Have you ever been reactive in hiring? Have you made quick hires without understanding the future of your biz? Did you take the same amount of time to forecast your talent as you did your financials?

Building an internal team takes an equal amount of effort, intentionality & discipline as building a solid customer base.

If you’re not committed to the process of what it takes to build an effective team internally...let’s keep it simple. Stop now.

True leadership includes spending equal amounts of time creating successful cultures and teams as they do biz opportunities.

As our business grows, we also need to grow as humans. The strongest leaders I have had the privilege of working...

Whether we call 2020 the year of the pivot, the year of awakening or the year of chaos one thing is for sure, the status quo was interrupted. 

From large corporations to small businesses, relationships, health and family life we all felt some degree of shift in our day to day lives.

One of the biggest shifts in 2020 was the conventional way we have always done business. 

Remote work, while accepted in certain industries, as a whole was not considered the most effective or productive way to drive results in business. Many leaders I spoke with in 2020 shared that they did not think the model was possible before being “forced” into a shut down early last year. 

As a result, many organizations have made conscious efforts to shift their work models to allow a hybrid effect of working from home a few days a week and into the office a few days for that much needed human interaction. And there are many roles that have moved to...
