What other people say about me -

"Candice was instrumental in helping our team streamline the deal flow processes across our existing tech stack. We were under-utilizing the capabilities of technologies like Airtable. She advised us on using the tools at our disposal to save our team our most precious resource -- time -- enabling us to focus more on our core diligence work. Her experience architecting processes and leveraging data to evolve is clear, and we're happy to learn from her leadership. Supply Change highly recommends working with Candice; she will be an accelerator to any team that she engages with." 
- Supply Change Capital

"No doubt about it, Candice is solid - she is equally effective, whether adeptly supporting an effort in the background or front and center commanding and controlling a room. It is easy to pick up on her sincere feeling of ownership and observe as it reassures a team. These attributes were indispensable to our firm as she helped us build and implement our improved investment operations. She has a healthy and refreshing #NoFilter when necessary - if you're a fan of cutting through the bull. With Candice, not only does the train run on time, but it's going to a valuable and compelling destination." 
- Kelby Price, Managing Partner, Keyhorse Capital

“Candice's due diligence and deal flow management materials are unmatched! The material is intentional and thorough, covering the breadth and depth of each area appropriately. During group office hours, Candice is an amazing facilitator, taking the time to address everyone's questions and putting in time outside the sessions to be helpful. As an associate at an emerging fund, I found the course especially helpful in giving me actionable steps and proven methods to bring to our team to improve our processes.”
- Marigrace Ragsdale, VC Investor

Choose Your Metric

In my work with clients, I help them expand their impact and results through the approach of choosing meaningful metrics. This methodology includes assessment and evaluation, designing blueprints for excellence and scale, implementation, continuous feedback loops, and setting new metrics.

I provide leadership coaching to leaders and teams to enable them to build cultures of trust and growth in alignment with their core values. Use of tools such as 360-degree reviews, custom workshops, and OKRs are used.

I communicate with board members and C-suite leaders regarding high level strategy and project status. Using the foundations of choosing metrics, together, we set high standards, determine impactful goals, and achieve results.

I work as a consultant for clients who need hands-on help in implementing strategic roadmaps. I ensure clients achieve alignment with business metrics and core values, and that they are at the center of all projects.

Entrepreneurs also need support and I am building a community of entrepreneurs that will provide this important ingredient for success for all who wants it.
