Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
Sun Tzu
Our only natural enemy, is our very nature. Similarly, our greatest ally – can be nature.
Most of the problem with any problem, is the way we’re thinking about the problem. The first step in my process is making sure we’re looking at the whole problem and thinking about it in the most productive way possible.
I build solutions using systems theories, primarily those from natural inspiration. Often referred to as Biomimicry, I recognize everything comes from a pattern – a subtle order.
You are made from this subtle order just as everything else that works for any length of time in this world. Like it or not, we are beholden to ecological law.
We can either strive against it, or be empowered by it.
I build solutions to suit your natural rhythm and human drivers by first observing and understanding how you have subtly ordered yourself – your core values, and your business as it stands now.
Then, I apply my systems and models to your natural order – sorting your activities so you can see yourself more clearly. My maps help you pinpoint your magnetism and unique essence so that you can do that -ish on purpose, and clearly see the next steps toward the kind of business and daily life you want.
The Awe Sum Equation is my primary model for a complex system.
This model can represent the flow of information within your entire company, or between departments, or the flow of responsibilities for a single person. Of course, it won’t apply to any business – most of the time, you will need to optimize your processes.
In that case, this model can also show you what’s not fitting.
I realize most of the boxes are triangular, but there are specific things which can fit into each space. Much like building a puzzle from the corners and edge pieces inward, this model acts as a guide to build your whole business picture, piece by piece.
The first piece of this puzzle is You.
You, and everything you do, is in that top triangle. You will have 3 touch points with everything else – two that are very “pointed” or touch and go, and one that is your dominant focus.
The next piece is your core values. We put that as your dominant focus, your direct neighbor below. Finally, we suss out your internal and external factors before even considering what’s “going on” with the market trends.
Once we have this smallest building block figured out, we then apply it to all 5 areas of your business – and also, actually having a life. This is the hexagonal assembly of the complete Awe Sum.
Then, with a holistic picture of you – we can push that back into the single triangle as a model of your whole business and start to create maps for your entire team. So they too can experience the same fulfillment and joy you have doing your work, in your most awesome way.
You don’t need to know how the model works.
However, you might want to know about past results to see something of what it can do for you.
- A coach was able to move from serving 1 client per month to 50 per month with the same single assistant for an employee.
- A small team of 5 creatives moved from serving 5 clients per month to serving 5 clients per week.
- A media house with over 100 employees struggled to get more than 100 views per month on their publication. Inside 6 months, they were topping millions of views.
In a word, the majority result is leverage.
That is after all, what this model is designed to do. The Values triangle is the fulcrum – the hinge point – where you start to gain power over your circumstances. Focusing your energy into only your core values ultimately multiplies everything else.
This is why everything begins with my Values Compass. Whether you’re seeking just one area of focus, or custom solutions requiring all 6 areas of focus, in all ways, in all things – I consider your values, first.
Custom solutions available – begin with a complete Awesome Performance Evaluation.
The single most affordable and efficient way to work with me is to start with a full Awesome Performance Evaluation. In this 6-week program, I’ll take a deep look at each area of focus, coach you to see them more holistically, and make recommendations. Read more about it here.
Specialized Consulting & Training available now.
You’re welcome to customize your experience and select just one or a few focus areas. Every area of focus can be done by itself once you have your Values Compass, or paired with the Values Compass for a quick start. Read more about your options here.
You can also choose to have me on tap.
I offer two levels of support – one with accountability co-working meetings, and one without. Either way, you have access to message me at any time and meet at least once a month. Read more about getting advisement here.
