Centered Performance

I help small business owners pinpoint the sources of their growing pains. Then, prioritize and take actions that support growth, empower employees, and shift cultures of constant fire fighting.

I design repeatable systems that let your company:
🔹Perform consistently with your values
🔹Save staff time and eliminate unnecessary investments
🔹Automate actions without removing personal connection
🔹Prevent surprises for you and your customers

How much longer can you tolerate being the one that holds your business together?

You have big plans, but you keep getting pulled away. 

You want to keep growing, but your staff keep telling you they’re “too busy.”

Now you're stuck solving low ROI issues.
Revenue growth is limited. 
Plans you have for expansion are paused. 

You’re frustrated and bored instead of lit up.

Visionary leaders of $2M - $10M service-based small businesses come to me to:
→ Get out of stagnation and back to growth
→ Cause employees to be fully accountable for their work
→ Systematize and automate operations
→ Do more without burning people out
→ Use data to understand company performance

I deliver:
→ A 75-factor audit that reveals core issues that hold your company back
→ A plan broken into 90-day chunks that have a measurable impact 
→ Systems, structure, and support to help get there

I’m not here to:
→ Pretend to know more about your business than you do
→ Automate everything with the promise your life will be magically better
→ Use a boilerplate, business book approach to “fix” your company

Some of my clients:
→ A wealth management firm that reduced staff workload and saw a dashboard of company metrics for the first time
→ A healthcare practice that created clear growth paths for employees, reduced payroll time, and freed up future profit
→ A residential painting company that reduced CEO workload by 10-12 hours per week
→ Another healthcare practice that productized their services for easier delivery, marketing, and sales leading to 2x revenue and 4x profit in 12 months
→ A pet care brand that created clarity across manager roles and accountabilities so they could expand to 4 locations

I’ve spent 17 years working with clients across 12 industries and can give you a starting point from what has worked to get you moving quickly. 

I use my experience in growing a business from $2M to $20M to help you achieve similar growth. I’ve helped organizations save 400,000+ hours of staff time, avoid $80M+ of unnecessary investments, and prevent 1,000s of customers from falling through the cracks. 

I’ve coached 200+ executives, managers, and staff which means you’ll be able to make the most with the resources you already have.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own and learn more the hard way. 

No one’s got time for that.

Ready to get out of the day-to-day of your business and go do the stuff that lights you up?

Shoot me a DM.
