Systems that scale businesses to 6 & 7 fig | On the cusp of big time growth? You have a good problem | Scale as a coach, consultant or creative with process, strategy, software, & automation | Save 20+ hours a week

Everything you wanted for your business is happening, word on the street favors your brand — and you have your eye on the next big step.

You're ready to DO it:
📈 scale up - Grow a team around your process & replicate revenue 3X+
💰 sell products - Open new streams of revenue with courses or digital products
🦉 build authority - Get your expertise out there — and charge premium prices

There's just one little problem
It’s hard to move forward and scale your THING — when it’s all inside your head.
👉 You can hire a team, but you'll spend all your time telling them what to do.
👉 You can create a product or course but lack the know-how.
👉 You can build authority with online content, but that would be a full-time job.

You know that there are tech solutions that can get you where you need to go. 

But you've hit your growth ceiling.

😏You've tried to figure it out on your own.
🤨You've tinkered with tools and researched software. (And wasted hours you didn't have.)
😯You’ve set up your business using way too many different tools ... and it’s a mess.
😣You’re sinking into calendar quicksand. You can’t even see what you’re up to now — never mind scheduling all the new things coming down your pipeline.
🫤Instead of creating and monetizing, you’re busy burning the midnight oil and experimenting with product platforms.

Time to get your process out of your head and into scalable, automated workflows and products

Which brings you to... me

Long-Time Automator - 15 + years and going strong
12 years as a manager and an in-house product owner at a SaaS startup, and 3 years as a process and automation consultant.

Compulsive Tool-Tester - 978+ tools tested (and counting!)
I wouldn't be able to stop researching tech if I tried. It's a mild obsession.

Serial Speaker & Trainer - When I'm not tinkering with tools, I'm talking about them.

Generous Whizdom Dispenser - 1,426+ articles, posts & videos.

Playful Podcaster - I'm the co-host of Off Tangent, a playful podcast with my colleague Zineb Layachi. We talk about business, process, and growing pains. 

Masterful Course Creator - I've created courses in-house as an instructional designer, helped entrepreneurs launch their own courses, and developed my own Sales Pipeline Automation Accelerator.

What it looks like to work with me

Strategize - We get everything out of your head and plan ways to automate it.
Set up - I set up the software and automation for you and send detailed how-to-use videos. 
Streamline - You try out all your shiny new tech and we tweak things where needed.

Ditch the Script

DITCH THE SCRIPT: Elevate Skills, Accelerate Success.
 
Most leadership training is generic. Off-the-shelf content that doesn’t stick. We do things differently.  At DITCH THE SCRIPT, we take emerging leaders in recruitment and sales-driven businesses and turn them into confident, commercially aware, and strategic thinkers - the kind of leaders who own their decisions, inspire their teams, and drive real business results. Our training isn’t just another leadership course. It’s tailored, interactive, and built around DISC profiling, making it uniquely suited to your team’s specific needs. We focus on the real-world skills that matter: 
 
✔️ Giving feedback that actually lands. 
✔️ Motivating teams to perform at their best. 
✔️ Resolving conflict before it escalates. 
✔️ Thinking strategically—not just reacting. No more relying on senior management to solve problems. 

No more second-guessing. Just leaders who step up, take ownership, and deliver. 
 
If you’re investing in leadership training, make sure it actually works. Let’s chat.
