Business growth typically doesn’t just happen by itself. Sometimes, luck plays its part, but real growth – repeatable, predictable, and scalable growth? That comes from hard work, teamwork across functions, careful planning, and intentional execution of that plan. Andy Stanley’s words in “The Principle of the Path” resonate with me: “Direction – not intention – determines destination.”
It’s not about what we plan to do; it’s what we actually do that sets our direction. That’s why, at Compass Business Consulting, we’re laser-focused on guiding your business down the right path so it reaches its desired destination. Want your business on the right path? Let’s talk!
Strategic planning coach, self-motivation workshop leader, keynote speaker, CEO coach, and author.
From my early days at a Fortune 50 financial powerhouse to leading an American small business success story and then diving into the fast-paced world of a private equity-owned enterprise, I’ve seen and done just about everything.
During my tenure with the Fortune 50 company, I acquired top-notch skills in financial analysis, sales, and client relationship management, making over 1,000 in-person client visits over a 15-year career as a Senior Vice President on the Risk Management/Capital Markets team.
I then served as the President of a small business success story. Working directly with the owner and leadership team, this company achieved an average of 18% growth annually for 14 years, resulting in total growth over that timeframe of 1,350%. Our success wasn’t just in numbers; our company’s rich culture and the unmistakably healthy way in which our leadership team functioned was our pride. We clinched a Top Workplace award for 7 consecutive years, sweeping accolades in Employee Appreciation, Direction, and Management. Here, I facilitated 36 quarterly offsite retreats as I truly grasped the essence of strategic growth and scaling.
When that company was eventually acquired by a mission-driven private equity firm, I wore many hats over 4 years, including that of South Region Market President and as a member of the Integration team, where my primary efforts were focused on seamlessly integrating newly acquired companies into the parent company.
I’m a firm believer in focus, clarity, purpose, planning, and skillful execution.
