Proof of What's Possible

When Iman started working with me, she was at a critical inflection point. Her microschool was thriving, but she knew she needed strategic support to:

• Scale intentionally: Build a "business-in-a-box" model to replicate her success across multiple locations
  
  
• Lead authentically: Develop leadership skills that aligned with her role as founder while balancing motherhood and delegation to other team members
  
  
• Preserve culture: Maintain the mission, vision, and core values that made her model unique as she grew
  
  
• Avoid burnout: Create sustainable systems that didn't require her direct involvement in every aspect
  
  
• Build for the future: Establish infrastructure for long-term growth and eventual transition

Over the course of one intensive year, we implemented a comprehensive growth strategy that addressed both business scaling and personal leadership development.

• Clarifying the Vision: Sharpened her mission, vision, and values for multi-location alignment
  
  
• Building Systems: Designed operational playbooks, HR policies, and legal/accounting infrastructure
  
  
• Team Building & Delegation: Built a culture-forward hiring and onboarding process, supported succession planning
  
  
• Scaling Intentionally: Developed franchise-ready tools, created investor proposals, and mapped sustainable growth milestones

Nicole faced the unique pressures of first-time CEO leadership during organizational rebound and recovery:

• Rapid Leadership Growth: As a first-time CEO, she was tasked with managing multiple teams across the country—without the benefit of prior C-suite experience
  
  
• Post-COVID Recovery: Rebuilding organizational momentum, re-engaging in-person communities, and reigniting energy among exhausted staff and partners
  
  
• Systemic Complexity: Leading franchises and partnerships nationwide without clear operational systems or alignment tools
  
  
• Board & Stakeholder Dynamics: Upgrading governance, streamlining communication, and building trust without compromising culture
  
  
• Integration of Identity: Defining what it meant to be a powerful, present, heart-centered leader—as a woman, partner, and visionary
  
  
• Revenue Diversification: Growing beyond legacy funders and creating sustainable, values-aligned partnerships

Over the course of two intensive year, we implemented a comprehensive growth strategy that addressed both business scaling and personal leadership development.

• Executive Strategy: Aligned her big-picture goals with daily systems to support national growth and streamlined leadership

• Depth Work: Reconnected with her core values, clarified her vision of success, and anchored into a more authentic and confident leadership style

• Guiding Structure: Created clear expectations and tools for team collaboration, board involvement, and decision-making—making it easier for everyone to stay aligned and empowered

• Energetics: Built practices to protect her time, energy, and focus so she could lead sustainably without sacrificing herself in the process

When Felicia and I started working together, she was navigating a high-growth moment with very little support structure in place. She was ready for her next chapter, but needed the systems and strategy to get there.

Her key goals included:

• Creating sustainable systems that would allow her to step out of reactive, day-to-day operations
  
  
• Diversifying income beyond tuition through speaking, digital content, and consulting
  
  
• Leading with intention instead of urgency by clarifying values and boundaries
  
  
• Establishing financial infrastructure to support better decision-making and forecasting
  
  
• Building a future-focused plan for long-term growth and thought leadership

Throughout our work together, we co-created a sustainable business structure that allowed Felicia to grow revenue, reclaim her time, and step into her next-level identity as a mission-driven CEO.

• Clarifying the Vision: Redefined her role as CEO, articulated long-term vision, and aligned daily decisions with her core mission and values.
  
  
• Building Systems: Created financial tracking tools, parent communication processes, and operational calendars to reduce decision fatigue and streamline her day-to-day.
  
  
• Financial Infrastructure: Formalized accounting and budgeting practices, introduced seasonal forecasting, and built new tuition/payment systems to support sustainable growth.
  
  
• Revenue Diversification: Developed digital products, speaking offers, and consulting opportunities to expand her impact and income beyond enrollment.
  
  
• Leadership Development: Established founder values and energy management strategies, hired support staff, and built internal practices for culture-forward delegation and team communication
