Our Signature Approach

Here’s a simple truth: most COOs haven’t ever had to step in and be the COO for a business that’s never really had one before.

And even if they have, they’ve probably only done it once—which means there will still be a lot of trial and error for them along the way.

Our work is different.

Over the past decade, we’ve developed a proven method for upgrading your business’ Operating System—and providing the Operational Leadership—that will allow you to double your profit with half the effort.

Here’s how it works:

What We Provide

TL;DR: as your Fractional COO, we don't just lead your team & operations. We also upgrade your business' Operating System, so you can double your profit with half the effort.

Streamlined Team Communication

From leading your regular all-hands meetings to cleaning up your team's Slack and introducing simple project tracking tools that work, our Weekly Momentum System ensures your team is freed up to operate at peak efficiency.

Weekly Operational Reviews

Every week, we'll review the progress of your projects, processes and priorities. Then, we'll help you and your team adjust course so you're always on target to hit your goals.

PS: need full project management? We can provide that for an extra fee.

Metrics & KPIs

You need a birds-eye view of how your whole business is operating, so you know what to focus on (and what you can safely ignore). Our simple approach to metrics & KPI systems makes tracking, reviewing and using your data a piece of cake.

Define Your #DreamTeam

You don't just need the right people in the right seats ... you need the right seats in the right vehicle. With #DreamTeam roles & responsibilities established, every person on your team is empowered to step up and create even bigger results—no micromanagement required.

Optimize Your Core Process

You don't need to sacrifice results in the name of profit. Using our Streamline & Simplify framework, we'll ensure your team keeps your key marketing, sales and delivery processes are as profitable as possible... without requiring you to spend hours writing SOPs.

Quarterly Action-Planning

Don't let your big ideas get lost in the Strategy↔Execution gap. As your Fractional COO, we guide you through a process of honing your vision into an actionable strategy—and then turn that into a set of plans and projects for the team to tackle.

Executive Coaching

Leadership skills are the biggest strategic advantage you can have. That's why we provide leadership and executive coaching to you and the managers on your team.

Whatever is going on—tactical, strategic, mindset or otherwise—we're here to make sure your leaders are up to the task.

Cultivating Culture

When it comes to culture, our goal is simple: to help you create the kind of business you always wanted to work for. What exactly that looks like, of course, is up to you. Our values-first approaches to hiring, performance management, compensation planning, and talent development ensure that your business' Cultural Practices are up to the task.

COO Training & Mentorship

Bringing us in as a Fractional COO is a great interim solution, but it's not a long-term fix. That's why our ultimate goal is to help you identify, hire (if necessary), train and mentor the person who will lead your business to $10M and beyond.

PS. Unlike consultants and advisors who favor cookie-cutter, over-engineered solutions designed for mega-corps and VC-funded startups...

Our approach is for boutique firm owners who want long-term, sustainable solutions that put people first.

That way, you can feel good about what you're building (not to mention, all the free time you'll get as a result!)

Equity First. Always.

Look, there are a lot of gurus, consultants, and “operating systems” that claim to put people first.

But when you look at the fruit they bear, the truth is anything but:

Decisions that cascade from the top-down
Org charts based on hierarchy and power
Lip service to diversity, equity, justice, and inclusion

The simple truth is that these Big Name Systems are rooted in a worldview that assumes the goal is ALWAYS more profit, no matter the (human) cost.

Our work—and our clients—are different.

We’re not interested in building “traditional” businesses that work according to systems of patriarchy, racism, sexism, ableism, and so on.

Plus, as a team of multiply-marginalized people, we are acutely aware of what it’s like to try to live and work in a system that’s not built for us… while also recognizing the privileges that are afforded to us.

So if you agree that Black Lives Matter, love is love, women’s rights are human rights, ability takes many forms, equity (not just diversity and inclusion) is mandatory, and that running a vision & values-led business is the only type of business you want to run … then let’s see if it’s a fit for us to make that happen, together.

Ready To Book Your Fast-Track Call?

If your business is already generating between $1M-$5M and stuck further in the weeds than ever, your business Operating System is probably ripe for an upgrade.

In this free, 30-minute Zoom session, we will:

Audit your current model, operations and culture to determine what not to change—and to see what’s possible
Identify the fastest ways to can supercharge the team, systems, and structures you’ve already put in place
Map out where to focus first, using the resources you’ve already got, in order to free you up as fast as possible

I’m no longer looking at a straight-line trajectory of just knocking out 60-70 hour weeks until I fall over. I’m putting in just the right amount to continue to steer the ship, while the team is growing and fanning out beneath me.

Putting me back into the things that I'm good at (and taking me away from the things I'm not as good at) ... that is making a huge energetic shift for me in the passion that I have for my business.

I now have time to work ON the business. I don't think I realized how little time I had to get things done... for the FIRST time ever, I see a path to creating more while still feeling in alignment with my purpose.

I wanted to just stop the train because it all felt like too much, but the changes we implemented from the Academy have made it actually sustainable.
