Offerings: The Simple Business Method

    This becomes a strategy with a Day 1 / Day 2 action plan.

    *Geared for managers in an organization, business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs / business owners.

  • Through defining your customer and business values, core capabilities, and articulating what your business is and what it is not, you are able to create clear guidelines, boundaries, and operating principles to use to make decisions, guide the future of the business, and prioritize what to focus on.

Process & Experience

  • Define how your business works.

    Work through your customer journey and processes, and align that with your business journey and process. This is the most effective way to understand how things SHOULD work, versus how they are working today, as well as, allow you to focus in on systems, actions, and responsibilities that drive the journey.

This affords you the ability to add things (people, systems), or clean things up (processes, responsibilities) in an intentional way that doesn’t entail spending money on wasted efforts (like tech that you never figure out how to use!).

  • Kind Words From Clients

    “Tara takes her skills and experience as a corporate machine and hones in on what’s truly important for a small business owner. I’m so grateful to have access to her skill set which is so different from my own. She spent a lot of time listening to the vision for my practice in the present and how I imagine the future, and helped me to come up with actionable steps to get where I want to be in a timeframe that worked for me. Her professional experience comes through from day one and her excitement for what is possible is infectious!”

  • Kind Words From Clients

    “Tara did an incredible job of helping me ‘level-up’ in my career by helping me create and stick to an intentional plan focused on challenging me and helping me grow. She helped me do this by listening to me, helping me pinpoint where I needed to focus, and giving me actionable advice that allowed me to build a brand for myself that was authentic to me. We created a plan for me to intentionally build my executive presence during meetings with senior leaders and key stakeholders. Throughout all of this, I was amazed at how thoughtful Tara was in her approach - she showed me how I could build a plan that could work with me and not against. She helped me reframe what I once thought was a weakness in a corporate environment - being an introvert- into a true strength.”
