Need Some Clarity? Let’s Talk

For some time now I’ve gotten regular requests to do phone calls and consulting. And I enjoy talking, listening and helping people, particularly entrepreneurs and young people looking for career direction.

Today, I’m taking a step to do that even more, by setting up my expert profile at Clarity.

Sometimes it just helps to get an outside perspective and opinion from someone who’s been there and done it. And I want to help you blow up the roadblocks in the way of your happiness and success, sharing my experiences to help you do just that.

If that’s you … schedule a call with me today and here are three ways I can help you best:

Founder Issues: Handling the Ups and Downs of Entrepreneurship

As richly rewarding as entrepreneurship is, it can also be one of the toughest, loneliest jobs. It’s likely many of the people you love don’t truly understand what you do, or what you deal with on a daily basis.

Since 2008, I’ve have had my share of ups and downs running iThemes.com, from growing a multi-million dollar business, launching hit products, hiring a superstar team while building a great culture, to dealing with divorce, depression, loss, failure and the numerous conflicts and crises that entrepreneurs deal with.

Too often we work IN and ON our businesses … but not on ourselves. That has to change.

I cherish sharing my depth of experiences dealing with the human side of being an entrepreneur, and the issues and challenges that come with it, and hope to be an empathetic ear and work with you to avoid some of the pitfalls and obstacles to health and happiness.

Entrepreneurial Leadership: Growing a Team and Culture

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” –African proverb

Since 2008, the key to our success at iThemes.com has been intentionally building an awesome culture and a team of over over 20+ people who love what they do and who they do it with and for.

You need a fully committed, passionate, loyal and talented team to get to your summit, together.

I share my experiences and best practices for attracting the best “great fit” talent, fostering an atmosphere where others feel they can belong and contribute to, rallying a team around a shared vision, and the tools and ways we use to care and lead our people every day.

If leadership had a one-word definition, it would be: CARE.

I share how we’ve done just that and the results we’ve enjoyed.

Purposeful Paychecks: Finding Lasting Career Happiness

You don’t just want work that pays the bills … you also want work that frees you to be fulfilled and happy in your work.

You’re going to spend a vast chunk of your life at work, it might as well be work that matters, seeing the fruits of your labor and finding meaning in it, alongside people you care about and are committed to.

That’s what I call the Purposeful Paycheck.

To find that and with it, lasting career happiness and enjoyment, sometimes you need to get an outside perspective and opinion about your career and its potential from someone that has had a number of jobs in various fields as well as someone who leads a team and hires people.

I’ve averaged a new job for two years since I was 16, always seeking to contribute my time and talent to something of purpose and meaning. I always left places better than when I got there. And since 2008 as a leader/manager, I’ve helped many others bloom and blossom at iThemes.com and elsewhere.

I want to listen to your hopes and dreams, learn your unique situation and strengths, and help you plot a path to success so you can start getting those Purposeful Paychecks.
