Meet Sam, Operations Nerd

You started your business because you loved something about it but the day-to-day cat herding is draining your enjoyment. Your team is sluggish, your results are late, and you know you could get more done with some structure - but you hate to be put in a box.

That’s where I come in.

I thrive as the person charged with bringing order and clarity to your team and company. I love simple workflows, thriving cultures, and efficient strategies for using the tools that power your people. I enjoy business tools (they come easily to me) but I know a people-first approach is the only way to ensure team buy-in and success.

There’s no magic bullet. A tool or app alone isn’t going to solve anything. I find the right systems, workflows, and tools for your business - based on data and more than a decade of experience - so you stop wasting time and get results.

My operational background was strengthened by working within leadership development organizations. I spent 8 years with The Lions Pride where I grew from a few hours per week with a pre-revenue business to fulltime COO of a small but powerful team at a profitable and growing coaching company. My systems and people skills made me a valued Coach and Cohort Leader for our clients and I applied the same leadership development principles to our own team members to great success.

Prior to The Lions Pride, I worked as an integrator in another small-but-mighty team within the Global Leadership Network. GLN supports global leaders by developing their leadership skills, providing opportunities for community and networking, and creating next level leadership content. I worked primarily with the team responsible for putting on the world’s largest annual leadership event, the Global Leadership Summit, and enjoyed traveling to be at events in order to provide attendees with boundary pushing and energizing experiences.

I’ve worked remotely for more than a decade and I have a deep understanding and passion for remote work and remote or hybrid teams. I’m ruined for an in-person office and I believe that results are more important than seat warming. I’m passionate about helping leaders shift to real success by leveraging flexible work and I would love the chance to explore this with you.

When I’m not working I enjoy playing with knives and fire in my home kitchen and planning family adventures. I’m the proud mother of two boys who are entirely too smart for their ages and I’m the wife of a husband who is entirely too supportive. Thankfully the cat, Taco Velociraptor, is a girl.

I’d love to have a conversation with you about how I might add value to your company - but I can’t do that until you reach out!
