Teresa Basich Email and Phone Number

I'm a Chief of Staff and Business Manager with deep experience in marketing, community strategy, and communications. I cut my teeth as a CoS in 2020 and haven't looked back. Roughly six weeks prior to an acquisition and eight weeks before the pandemic shut down the world, I leapt into a Chief of Staff role that demanded:- Strategic thinking and a focus on the system rather than the components of our business- Sprinting up a steep learning curve to quickly pivot from marketing to executive support and business strategy- Operating as a team of one *and* a team of many, connecting groups and work streams across organizational boundaries and relationships- Quickly building trust with new colleagues and collaborators- Deep listening and translation skills (I like to say I'm a corporate jargon translator)- Acting as a trusted partner to the CEO/Head of Business and other members of the leadership team- Informed, clear, and empathetic communication at scale- Change adoption and advocacy- The desire to continue learning and growing through it allIn 2022, I decided to strike out on my own and offer this same skill set (and more!) in an independent capacity. I am a Business Manager, Chief of Staff, communications professional, and a really good thought partner for hire. I love sitting down with business owners and executives to uncover the real challenges they're facing (not just the symptoms) and begin moving through them.Most importantly, my work is firmly rooted in creating time and space for clients to focus on the work that matters to them so they can live rich lives away from the office.If you're a business owner or leader looking for someone to help you think through a particularly sticky or confounding issue, or simply need help finding more time and focus and in your work days, don't hesitate to reach out.
