Is Your Small but Mighty Team Feeling Overwhelmed?

I get it!

If you’re part of a small, passionate team, I know how many hats you’re wearing and how often you feel pulled in too many directions. You’re doing incredibly important work, but sometimes it seems like there’s never enough time to get it all done.

After over ten years on small teams working in the trenches, I understand the unique challenges you face.

Here’s a bit more about my journey:

I started my professional career after college in “retirement plan services,” working in a cubicle for a big firm. I actually liked the cubicle! It was more fulfilling than being alone in an office. I worked there for five years and came to appreciate how the different departments and workflows coordinated and worked together. 

Eventually I got a little restless. I was bored in a way, and wanted to do work more aligned with my values.

So I made a change: I moved to Montana to study environmental studies, with a focus on local food systems. Throughout graduate school and after I worked for nonprofits in varying capacities - as volunteer, board member, collaborator and staffer. 

For awhile I felt like I had found my “place.” The camaraderie and purpose-driven work were very fulfilling. 

But then the constant stress of juggling tasks and feeling behind took a toll. I tried different productivity hacks, but nothing seemed to make a lasting difference. I was burning out. I knew I didn’t want to go back to “corporate,” but I did miss some of the structure and clarity that came with it.

I was coming around to the conclusion that something needed to change. Then a bike accident followed by a pandemic (good ol' COVID) forced my hand. I took a harder look at what I wanted to be working on, the challenges that those of us doing purpose-driven work were facing, and what I could do to overcome them. 

That’s when I started diving deeper into finding solutions for a better balance of structure, work and play and helping organizations and individuals put those solutions into practice.

Now, I use my superpowers—Active Listening, Analytical & Systems Thinking, and Problem Solving—to help teams like yours optimize their work with simple, practical, systems-based solutions that make a real impact.

So if you are feeling overwhelmed and beyond your capacity at work, I totally get it and I can’t wait to help you out of that maze.

Let’s work together to make your work life easier, so you can focus on what really matters!
