Focus Your Business, Manage through Change
As a woman business owner for the last ten years and after leading sales for a company that grew nearly 1000%, I understand what it takes to make and run a successful business. It takes a leader with courage and insight. It takes commitment to something bigger than yourself. It requires commitment to build relationships with and contribute value to your customers.
In order to engage with the customers you want to help, make a difference for who you serve and satisfy your desires to be successful, you need to be certain on the direction of your business and most likely, narrow your options. Without a clear vision of what you sell and who most needs what you offer, your potential for growth diminishes and you work way too hard.
Are you suffering from any of these symptoms?
- having to bid too low to win proposals
- your teams don’t work well together
- saying yes to companies who aren’t your ideal customer so you can increase your cash flow
- lack of cohesive focus in your business direction
- need to expand in order to stay competitive
If so, you can relax and know that you can restore your enthusiasm, improve your results and take control of your business growth. I work with small business and teams to increase their success by creating focused business direction, communication strategies and practices that are achievable and help your organization navigate through transition and create a successful future.
Once you have clear focus and direction for your business and your role in making that happen, you will lead with certainty and confidence. Your business will grow and you will have more time and money for the things in life you are passionate about.
If you fit one of the scenarios below, feel free to Contact Us for a complimentary consultation.
- You want to expand your business, merge or acquire a business
- You own a business that is adding new services
- You want to refocus and reposition your company
- Your company and its employees are experiencing a lot of change and transition

I wanted to share with you the good news. We made the top achievement for 2009. And I was voted Agent of the Year out of the 30 State Farm agents in Plano. In spite of a down economy my team pulled together and did it! I am so pleased and excited about where I have come since working with you, thanks for all that you did to help me achieve my success. — Ann Dunham, State Farm Agent, Plano, TX |

I’ve attended Kathy’s amazing retreat for three years and can’t thank her enough for how she has helped me grow and achieve all that I’ve achieved personally and professionally these past few years…. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today without her. Kathy has helped me make my amazing dream come true of being a professional caring clown that works with sick children and children in need. “Zoe”, unbelievably in her fourth year of clowning, is now the official clown at Medical City Children’s Hospital where she volunteers one day a week. She also does other philanthropy work and follows her life’s work/mission of “making little hearts happy”. Just knowing that when she takes off her big red nose at the end of the day, that she’s made a difference in a child’s life, well…It doesn’t get better than that. Thank you Kathy for all of your awesome leadership and teaching – you really have a special gift and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to learn from you. – Brittany Allen, Owner, 2nd Story Design, Texas |

Kathy delivered just the right approach for our business. We were relieved to know that we don’t have to use manipulative techniques on our prospects to get them to buy. Building relationships is how we’ve grown so far and it’s refreshing to have Kathy reaffirm that and show us additional ways to close more business in ways that work for us. – Minette Riordan, Ph.D., publisher, North Texas Kids |
| Working with Kathy keeps me focused and driving toward my goals. She asks insightful questions that help to clarify resolutions to my issues. It’s always helpful to have an objective sounding board, especially when you are experiencing tremendous growth.

Kathy has been instrumental in ensuring these transitions go smoothly. — Jennine Rexon, Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2006 Top 50 Fastest Growing Women Led Businesses |
