Expertise

  • Building a team

    I have experience of hiring and building a team from 4 - 40, while also managing and motivating a team to perform to their highest potential. The key lies in knowing your values, attracting your tribe and flying together!

  • Leadership

    I have worked with CEO's directly, mostly as head of growth for bringing in success and understanding and navigating the challenges around. A sound sounding board for any issues you face at a leadership position whether it be related to finance, marketing, team, burnout. I can untangle, or unstuck or solve with ease and grace.

  • Mindset coaching

    As a management team member of a travel scale up, I've spent years in training my mind, I can effectively help you find your limiting beliefs and blocks and help you set or reach a higher place. Dealing with decision fatigue, time management or troubled with delegation of tasks and micro managing it all? As we remove layers of limiting beliefs and learn techniques to manifest our highest life, the game is fun! Winning starts in the heart and the mind. If you can dream it you can do it.

  • Operations

    Managed the operational excellence of a 40 people and coordinated operations with 200 plus people. Setting the right KPI's, efficient processes, training and coaching managers and team leads. Keep on tuning the strings to play the music!

Toolkit

  • HubSpot logo

    HubSpot

    I used Hubspot for myself and for my team of 40 Sales Specialists. It's a great tool to schedule follow ups, keep track of your leads. I developed different fields to keep track of important data for the team and to organize the leads for different purposes. Country, Type of Organizers, Last contact date, next follow up date etc.
