Helping small business owners and organizations to create actionable strategies for change and growth
Hi! I’m Heather.
I’m a Business Strategist and Project Management Consultant. What does that mean? Well, I help small businesses and organizations to create customized, actionable strategies for change and growth (ex. improve productivity, increase profitability). I focus on collaboration and open communication to build easy-to-follow action plans that turn your big ideas into reality.
I have a Certificate in Project Management (Honours) from Red River College Polytech and am a member of the Project Management Institute. In this field, understanding how ideas align with the overall strategy of the business or organization is an important part of the process for building an effective action plan.
Over the last ten years, I’ve helped clients in a variety of industries to implement new systems and processes – making it easier for them to work smarter, not harder. This has allowed them to scale their operations at an ideal pace that’s in alignment with meaningful, long-term strategies.
I enjoy the challenge of building unique action plans (no cookie cutter approach here!) by thinking outside the box, even taking ideas from one industry and applying them to another.
I’d love to help you create customized, actionable strategies for your small business or organization.
For our first meeting, I’ll listen while you tell me about your idea(s). With my laid back approach, I let you lead the conversation. I’ll take some notes to start mapping out your idea(s) and organize the details as you’re talking. I’ll ask some clarifying questions to make sure I’m understanding everything correctly. Then I’ll share insightful suggestions and provide a safe space to explore different viewpoints as we work on a strategy together.
When I work with organizations, I like to start by meeting the team and learning about how the organization currently operates. Creating effective, efficient strategies relies on teamwork – meeting in the spirit of open-mindedness, curiosity and collaboration. Everyone has an opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise to achieve the best possible results.
