Honored to present ACTIVATE yesterday at the Wisconsin Society of Association Executives (WSAE) Women’s Forum among an extraordinary group of leaders.

The women in that room are doing meaningful work that is shaping organizations, communities, and lives. I left inspired by the connections made, the calibration of speakers, and the many association leaders I had the privilege to meet.

Grateful I could bring energy and tools to help participants activate progress, move beyond what may be holding them back, and pursue their goals with clarity and momentum.

Excited about the relationships formed and looking forward to future opportunities to work alongside many of these remarkable leaders.

I’m excited to be partnering with the Merrill Chamber of Commerce to support their hospitality and tourism businesses as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Later this month I’ll be leading a workshop called “Stand Out in 2026: How Hospitality & Tourism Businesses Prepare to Win the Season.” We’ll be sharing fresh ideas on strengthening teams, elevating guest experiences, and helping businesses start the tourism season confident and prepared.

Merrill has so many incredible businesses that help make their community a welcoming place for visitors, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support local leaders as they continue to grow and thrive.

Thank you to the Merrill Chamber for championing and supporting their members!

“Have you ever left a conference pumped up… and then nothing changed?”

I have.

That’s why I shifted from only speaking to also consulting and training.

Because excitement without implementation doesn’t grow revenue!

We need both heart and systems.

A 5% increase in customer retention can increase profits by 25–95%.

READ THAT AGAIN!

You don’t always need to find new customers...
You need customers who come back!
Word of mouth referrals is the BEST MARKETING!

So how to do it...
Implement service standards.
Provide continuous team training.
Dedicated time for leadership clarity.

That’s what I help with!

Running a business can feel like you’re stranded on an island!

You carry payroll. You carry team culture. You carry customer complaints. You carry the vision.

And you rarely get poured into.

That’s why I’m partnering with local Chambers, EDCs, and schools to connect with small businesses!

Because no hospitality leader should feel alone.

Stronger leaders build stronger communities!

The moment everything clicked… happened in a coffee shop.

The atmosphere= Beautiful.

The branding= Thoughtful.

The service= Disconnected 😞

You could feel how much heart the owner had poured into it.

And that’s when I realized…

So many small businesses don’t need more passion.
They need support!

That was the day my mission shifted.
From motivation…
To transformation.

Because here’s the truth:
Many small business owners were never taught how to build structured service standards or train teams effectively. So they carry it all.

If the owner is not there, the quality drops.
If they step away, the experience changes.
If they slow down or as they are burning out, the momentum fades.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I help bridge the gap between passion and process.

Through professional mentorship and hands-on consulting, I help hospitality and tourism business owners:
• Create customized Service Standards
• Develop and help implement team training systems to elevate customer experience
• Strengthen leadership confidence
• Increase revenue through consistency

With over 20 years in hospitality ownership & management, I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. I understand it.
And now? I help others build businesses that don’t just look beautiful, they operate beautifully too!

Feel free to send this to a small businesses owner that may be looking for support 🙌

Did you know it can cost 30–50% of an employee’s annual salary to replace them?!

In hospitality, turnover is one of the biggest silent profit killers.

And most owners think it’s just “part of the industry.”
It’s not.

Strong culture reduces turnover.

Clear service standards reduce chaos.

Leadership clarity reduces burnout.

I didn’t pivot into consulting randomly.
I saw the need.

And I know what it feels like to run a business and feel like you’re on an island.
You’re not, I'm here to help

Good things take time. Great things take a little longer. 🦋
For the last five months, you may have wondered what I’ve been doing.

Repositioning. Refining. Becoming.
Like a butterfly in the cocoon, I was transforming.

For over 20 years I’ve worked in hospitality. For the last 10 years we’ve owned Tomahawk Resort on Lake Alice.

I’ve built businesses, served on boards, trained teams, mentored entrepreneurs.

I thought I was becoming a motivational speaker.

But motivation without ex*****on doesn’t change businesses.

That’s when it became clear:
I’m not just here to inspire people.
I’m here to strengthen hospitality leaders, elevate service, and help small businesses grow revenue in a sustainable way.

And this is just the beginning. 🦋
