When I started my first business, I was so excited by the prospect of the future that I overlooked my inexperience. I figured I would learn all the skills I needed along the way. Unfortunately, I realized that experience really is the best teacher. Over 20 years later, I'm still learning new things about my favorite discipline. As I look around, I see many business owners stuck in the same ruts I was in many years ago. Why is it that so many struggle to find the path while so few share the secrets of the trail? This question boggled me considerably and became reason number one I became a FocalPoint Business and Executive Coach.As a multi-time entrepreneur, I discovered my true passion was for helping others achieve their business goals. With nearly ten years of experience as a Business Coach, I specialize in working with entrepreneurs, executives, and small business owners to help them navigate the challenges of building and growing a successful business.As a coach, I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching sessions to help clients develop actionable strategies to reach their goals. Whether creating a business plan, developing a marketing strategy, or improving leadership skills, I work with each client to identify their unique needs and create a plan that works for them.Before becoming a coach, I spent over 16 years running a chain of cafes for our family business. During that time, I gained valuable experience in all aspects of business management, from finance and marketing to operations and team building. This experience has given me a unique perspective that I bring to my coaching practice.I spent seven years as a Business Advisor at the Alaska Small Business Development Center, supporting and guiding small business owners across the state. In this role, I helped entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business, from creating a business plan to accessing funding and resources.I am proud to call Anchorage my home and enjoy working with clients across various industries and sectors. My goal as a coach is to help each of my clients achieve their full potential and create a thriving business that brings them personal and professional satisfaction.If you're interested in learning more about how I can help you achieve your business goals, please don't hesitate to reach out.
