People facing multiple challenges simultaneously, all of which have potentially critical impacts on organizational life - and they freeze up. Or they start playing the blame game. Or they spend all their time on other things, ignoring the situation. And usually they do all three.

Kelli purchased a small business and approached us to help get her office processes in order. She knew she wanted to grow her business, but at that moment, she and her staff were spending all their time on the work they already had. We worked with her on her office processes and a strategic direction for growth over a period of a year. Six weeks after concluding our work together, Kelli acquired another business that added 25% more clients to her portfolio. Due to the process efficiencies, strategic direction, and staff engagement we worked on together, she was able to do that without having to take on any more full-time staff.
