The last three weeks for DE have been heads down and client-focused in business planning mode for 2025. As the strategist and facilitator of two retreats and one outreach event, I have seen the growth of these organizations. My expertise as their advisor will help them reach their 2024 goals and set a strategy for 2025. For over 20+ years, I built and managed entrepreneurial ecosystems for corporates. The reward does not compare to the liberty of pouring back into a company knowledge on navigating supply chain hurdles and with tools to run their business as a sustainable, profitable, and professional organization. The good news is, we win together........some of you will catch that... Check out this wonderful, encouraging note from one of my clients. My favorite quote that I now live by is: "Use What You Have In Your Hands."
