CB3 Connections

After over 25 years of helping organizations build, scale, and elevate, I founded CB3 Connections to empower female founders ready to transform growth challenges into breakthrough opportunities.

Female founders often face unique roadblocks on their business journey - from strategic uncertainty and implementation overwhelm to confidence barriers that limit their impact and income. 

The A3: Abundantly Above All Coaching Program provides the clarity, strategy, and implementation support needed to navigate these challenges with confidence and purpose.

What We Deliver:
Clear pathways for women feeling stuck not knowing where to start, how to progress or at revenue plateaus and overwhelmed by growth decisions. The program transforms confusion into confidence through proven business principles and timeless wisdom that ensure businesses build on foundations strong enough to support sustainable growth.

Client Transformations Include:
- Breaking free from revenue ceilings without sacrificing personal wellbeing
- Turning market confusion into clear, compelling positioning that attracts ideal clients
- Replacing overwhelm with efficient systems that support scaling
- Building businesses that create both profit and purpose-driven impact

The mission at CB3 Connections is simple: equipping women with strategic insight, practical tools, and the confidence needed to steward their talents effectively and create businesses that bear fruit in every season.

Founder & CEO (Chief Elevation Officer)

Helping Female Founders Build Businesses That Work for Them (Not the Other Way Around) In a private space just for you, no competing voices or distractions, where you can be as candid, vulnerable, and realize transformation at its height.

You’ve poured your heart into building your business—working tirelessly, juggling endless tasks, and doing everything you can to make it successful. And it shows.  But even the most driven entrepreneurs hit moments where they feel stuck. Maybe you’ve hit a revenue ceiling. Maybe your days are consumed by fires and never-ending tasks. Or maybe you’re just tired.  

Through the A3: Abundantly Above All Coaching Program, I work with you to move beyond hustle mode and start making bold moves that lead to real results.  This isn’t group coaching where you’re one of many. This is private coaching tailored to YOUR business challenges, YOUR goals, and YOUR next breakthrough—a place where you can be as vulnerable as needed without wondering if you’re sharing too much. This means faster breakthroughs, deeper clarity, and strategies designed specifically for YOUR success.

Here’s What You Can Accomplish in A3  
1. Clarify Your Vision:  renewed focus and confidence in where your business is headed.  
2. Craft Winning Strategies: a clear plan to grow revenue without adding chaos to your life.  
3. Build Systems That Work: freedom from being the bottleneck so your business can thrive without exhausting you.  
4. Elevate Your Leadership: stepping out of the grind and into leadership with clarity and authority.

This isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter and building a business that works for YOU.

Why Work With Me? For over 15 years, I’ve helped organizations uplevel their operations and achieve extraordinary growth as an advisor, consultant, and coach. I know what it takes to turn overwhelm into opportunity—and I’m here to help you do the same.

Here’s what happens when we work together:  
Revenue grows (on average by 30-50% in months), Chaos turns into clarity with systems that free up hours of your time weekly. You finally get off the hamster wheel and start leading your business instead of letting it run you.

YOU get to see measurable revenue growth, more time for what matters most, and a business that supports your life, not consumes it.
