For the past fifteen years, I have had the privilege of working with firms across the country. They entrusted me to step into their world, listen to their struggles, and help them build business strategies and organizational structures to improve their business.
I always tell my clients: Identify the work you are passionate about growing and innovating around. Your focus and enthusiasm are your special sauce—they will attract not only the clients who need your unique vision but also the talented designers who will breathe new life into your firm

Inspired by this quote as I step into year sixteen, my deepest aspiration is to teach teams how to work effectively together. By doing so, we can ensure their projects are inspired and their personal growth is limitless. I want to use my remaining time to bring teams together in a powerful way.
My website has been updated to reflect this focus, including some new programs your team could benefit from (see partial list below). I’d love to discuss them with you - just give me a call.
In celebration of my 15 year milestone, I am giving away 15 firm Lunch & Learn webinars. To enter the drawing respond to this email with - PUT MY NAME IN THE HAT. I will announce winners the week of October 20th.
To all of my clients - past and present - thank you for making these past fifteen years so rewarding and meaningful. You’ve taught me as much as I hope I have taught you!
Sincerely,
Jane

EXECUTIVE TEAM COACHING
Executive teams are the ultimate stewards of their firm - responsible for its relevance, financial stability, employee livelihood, and client promises. It is therefore imperative that the executive team is fully aligned. This alignment is challenging given the inherent differences in every leader's vision for the firm's focus, management style, risk tolerance, and employee engagement strategies. When you add differences in personality, communication styles, personal ambitions, and power dynamics, it's clear why many teams struggle to work together productively. We partner with you to leverage your collective strengths, establish a unified vision, and create the framework needed to lead your organization forward in a strategic and impactful manner.
IGNITING YOUR FIRM’S GENERATIONAL POWERHOUSE
Lamenting generational differences has become common, often leading to stereotypes that minimize individual contributions. The business world is changing at warp speed, making it essential to leverage all individual talents, skills, and expertise to evolve your practice effectively. In this energizing workshop, discover how to transform perceived generational divides into a powerful engine for innovation, collaboration, and growth. You will leave with a clear process, practical tools, and a renewed appreciation for the unique strengths every generation brings to shaping your firm’s future.
WORK IS ART: DESIGNING A FOCUSED AND IMPACTFUL FIRM
In my book, Work is Art, I introduce an approach to embedding collaboration, innovation, and focus into your workplace. Using the fundamentals of art as a model, we explore the common factors that overwhelm an organization and create confusion and fatigue. We then identify actionable solutions to instill focus, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose amongst your employees.

We help you organize and facilitate leadership retreats that actually matter. Forget sessions crammed with daily business—the "same old, same old."

We design activities that draw out personal insights, leading to the thoughtful discussions that will accelerate your firm's impact.
