Welcome to my website! If you&#8217;re looking for a fellow business woman to help you achieve your business goals, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. \ud83d\ude42 I love communications, empowered women and the magic that happens when those two come together!<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes people ask me why I don&#8217;t really work with men. The short answer is: it&#8217;s just not my passion! I can&#8217;t even tell you how amazing it is to see a business-minded lady totally nail it after one of my coaching sessions, and I want to be a part of that as much as I can. I think women helping women is pretty awesome, don&#8217;t you? And since I&#8217;m my own boss and I get to pick who my clients are, I decided that I would do what I could to stuff this world full of successful business ladies! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h3>So what qualifies me to teach anyone anything?<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m so glad you asked! I&#8217;ve been doing communications, graphic design and digital marketing for 20 years, helping people like you design their brand and promote their products and services. I&#8217;ve had the amazing privilege of being able to work one-on-one with clients for over a decade and watch them bloom into successful business owners. How cool is that?! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know a bit more <em>by the numbers<\/em>, here&#8217;s me in a nut shell!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25 years of website management experience<\/li>\n<li>20 years in graphic design<\/li>\n<li>15 years of blogging experience<\/li>\n<li>12 years of one-on-one coaching<\/li>\n<li>6 years of formal teaching (at a university)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re curious what I&#8217;m good at, I can confirm that I&#8217;m a total know-it-all about the stuff below. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Website management<\/li>\n<li>Professional development<\/li>\n<li>SEO &amp; social media marketing<\/li>\n<li>Teaching &amp; coaching<\/li>\n<li>Sales &amp; digital marketing<\/li>\n<li>Web accessibility standards<\/li>\n<li>Writing &amp; editing<\/li>\n<li>People management &amp; team building<\/li>\n<li>Anything related to <a href=\"https:\/\/theuglycucumber.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">food security<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Environmental &amp; social issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Who do I actually serve?<\/h3>\n<p>I make it a point to serve women in business.<\/p>\n<p>When a lot of my clients come to me, they&#8217;re feeling like their business is at a stand-still. They&#8217;ve been putting in tons of time and effort posting <em>all the time<\/em> on social media and creating <em>amazing content<\/em> for their website, only to get <em>little to no traffic<\/em>. And if people aren&#8217;t seeing your products and services, how on earth are they going to buy them?!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where I come in. I help create a plan for your business that will get your offerings in front of the exact people who want them.\u00a0This lets my clients refrain from sleazy sales tactics and just focus on\u00a0<em>serving<\/em> their clients! Together, we come up with a system that will focus on <em>only what matters<\/em>\u00a0for your specific business so that you can leave overwhelm behind. That way, you can get your life back and spend time on things that really matter to you, like loved ones, self-care and personal growth!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m super excited to have the chance to meet creative entrepreneurs like you!
