Helping CEOs Scale without Stress | Franchise 500 (2x), Inc500 (2x) & Biz Journal Fast 50 (3x) + Trend Best Places to Work | Ultimate CEO | Proving Good Guys Finish 1st since 1974 | Host "Best Places to Lead"

Your business is working, but can it do more?
 
Like most business leaders, you've likely spent sleepless nights obsessing over your company's future. You’ve closed your office door, scratched your head, and wondered what to do next.

You're anxious about losing your best employees while regretting not letting go of underperformers sooner.

Does this sound at all familiar?
Feel Trapped: You lack a clear execution plan and are overwhelmed by daily crises, running from fire to fire.

Employee Frustrations: Miscommunication and unclear directions leave you shouldering the burden alone.

Unmanageable Growth: Scaling your business feels impossible without the right systems and processes.

Fear Over Joy: Constant fear paralyzes and frustrates you, stealing the joy from your work.

It doesn't have to be this way. With a proven track record leading award-winning companies across multiple industries, I’ve developed a system that drives success. 

Here are some of the results I’ve produced:

Franchise Growth: I helped grow a franchise company from $5MM to $15MM in just 18 months, earning a spot in the Franchise 500 (2x).

Manufacturing Excellence: I transformed a forty-year-old manufacturing company to achieve a 98% on-time delivery rate.

Successful Exit: I started, scaled, and successfully sold an internet business.

Construction Leadership: I led a construction company from $7MM to $30MM in three years, making it to the Inc 500 (2x) and Best Places to Work.

Here’s the truth…
Your product doesn’t matter. 
Your service doesn’t matter. 
Your industry doesn’t matter. 
Your channel doesn’t matter. 

Your business is widgets, plain and simple…  and the only thing that matters is your leadership approach.

However, on-the-job training is stressful and costly, eating away at your opportunities and profits.
If you want to scale without stress, join our exclusive mastermind of high-growth B2B CEOs. Learn from my experience and avoid the pitfalls that can derail your progress.

“They’re not listening…I just don’t get it!”

Me: "It’s not them, it’s you." 🤯

Most leaders just tell.

They tell people what to do.
They tell people what happened.
They tell people what’s next.

But telling doesn’t inspire.
It informs.

And then, “People just don’t listen…”

The Ops Leader was initially shocked when I gave him that tough feedback.

He’s black and white, efficiency-driven. Great at  the “what.” Enneagram 1.

But he sucks at telling stories.

You see, the real magic is in storytelling. 

It’s where you connect to emotion and move people to action.

A great story turns a plan into a mission.
It turns compliance into commitment.
It makes people feel the “why,” not just memorize the “what.”

Here’s what I’ve seen: 
Great leaders are storytellers.
Build belief before they demand behavior.
Use story as a bridge between logic and emotion. Connect data and drive.

So if you want to lead better…
Stop just telling. Logic justifies.
Start storying. Emotion drives action.

Because people don’t follow instructions.
They follow inspiration.

I was on a call with a CEO who had reached her limit.

↳The team was grumbling. 
↳She was micromanaging. 
↳She was unclear.

She’d reshuffled the team, clarified the strategy, aligned priorities, and poured fuel into execution.

And still, deadlines were missed, the content didn’t land, and the team kept talking about ideas while results quietly evaporated.

She said something I won’t forget:

💡 “At some point, I have to stop asking what’s wrong with the plan... and start asking what’s wrong with the people.”

She's right. That’s the trap.

🙏 👉 You hope good people will eventually "get it."

Even when the data says otherwise...

When clarity is present and execution still falters, it’s not a strategy issue.
It’s a standards issue.

Time to make a change. 🚀

You can’t build a great company on hope and hesitation.

Quit accepting mediocrity.

International Network Operations

Most founders don’t fail from lack of vision.
They fail because they don’t have the right support to carry it.

I’ve spent 15+ years inside the offices of high-growth founders, A-list leaders, and successful family offices. From the inside, I saw what real success looks like - when the Office of the CEO is built with the right structure, the right people, and the right rhythm.

I built ChatterBoss into an Inc. 5000 company serving 1,300+ founders, then created The Yutori Method: a system for building and supporting the Visionary–Integrator partnership (CEO + Chief of Staff/Executive Assistant/Personal Assistant).
	•	95% of our placements last beyond a year
	•	Flat-rate, data-driven, human-led
	•	Designed for fit, not friction

Our research shows the Visionary–Integrator dyad is the single biggest factor in whether a founder scales or stalls. We build, coach, and optimize those partnerships so leaders can focus on growth, not logistics.

If you’re still wearing both the Visionary and Integrator hats, it’s not a productivity problem, it’s a design problem. You don’t scale by doing more yourself. You scale by architecting the right support systems around you.

Let’s connect. I’ll send you our Org Chart Audit, built for leaders who want their teams designed around their next chapter, not their current workload.

Valerie Trapunsky

Most founders wait until $7M to bring in an Integrator. By then, they've already lost their best people.

Early-stage teams often start with visionaries hiring other visionaries.

It makes sense. The first days need momentum more than systems - people who move fast, think on their feet, and build while the strategy is still forming.

But here's the trap: too much structure too early kills traction. Not enough structure for too long sends things off the rails.

The tell? The same traits that fueled early growth start creating friction.
Deadlines slip. Priorities shift. Nothing gets finished. The visionary gets frustrated and wants to burn it all down.

Here's the pattern I see:

$0–$2.5M: Founder carries both seats. Visionaries alongside you. An AMAZING Executive Assistant who steps in when needed.

$2.5M–$5M: Time to bring in your Integrator (Chief of Staff, Director of Ops).

$7M+: The Chief Integrator becomes non-negotiable.

The cost of waiting? Burnout, turnover, and missed opportunities - because your team is too busy firefighting to execute on what matters.

Where are you on this timeline - and do you have the structure to support your next stage?
