Investing time, money & energy on building a great business is pointless...if you don't bother to invest in building a great team to help you run it.
Don't Be Chained To Your Business...
It's Time For Freedom
You've built your business and reputation on the back of your hard work and effort. You’ve done “what it takes” to make things happen and be a successful entrepreneur.
But you don't have the kind of freedom from your business that you want.
YOU WANT TO WORK WITH ME, IF:
You Don't Want To Make Hiring Mistakes
- You don't have a team - but you know you need one, so you can keep your sanity and scale your profitability - and/or you've struggled with having the "right" team members on board.
- You just want someone to take care of all the day-to-day “busy work” that keeps you from making the kind of money you know you're capable of making.
You Want To Leverage Your Current Team's Strengths
You DO have a team, but want to leverage their talents to new heights of productivity and profitability - team as a revenue, not a cost, center
You don’t want everything to be so complicated all the time – and you don’t want to babysit people
You Want To Work Less (& Make More)
You want to understand how to use TEAM productivity tools, like Kolbe and DiSC, more powerfully in your entrepreneurial business so that you can work less hours
You want to be truly in balance, in all respects, with time for your family and yourself … as well as your business
The Catalytic Team Intensive is for driven entrepreneurs with no time or money to waste on a team that isn't performing at their best.

"Efficiency Is Doing Things Right, Effectiveness Is Doing the Right Things" (Peter Drucker)
If you know me, you know that I've built several very successful companies over the years. What you may not know is that I get paid to consult on this topic with business leaders and entrepreneurs regularly...and they pay far more than the cost of these program packages.
That being said, these packages were set up based on my experience of what gives the "biggest bang for the buck" - doing the right things to make your team a productivity and profit building machine!
Frequently Asked Questions
All questions answered, here - if your question isn't answered here, please send your question to [email protected], and I will get back with you ASAP!
Q: How will I access my online Modules?
A: You will be given access to course materials via our web portal by email.
If you have team members that will be participating, we will be asking you to provide us with their names and email addresses when you receive your first email.
Each Module will be sent out on a weekly basis.
Q: How will I be able to take the assessments?
A. You will be sent your individual assessment codes and access information within 48 hours of signing up to the program and/or within 48 hours of our receiving each team member's name and email address.
Q: How long is each module?
A: Each module is between 1.5-2 hours total, but is broken up into smaller segments of 10-20 minutes, depending on the topic.
Q: What if I don't have the number of team members that the level allows me?
A: If you purchase the "Small Team Support" or the "Premium Team Support" level, but don't have the number of team members the level allows, it's fine- the reality is that the value lies in the additional, personalized access AND in the additional assessments you are allowed. Even if you don't start with that number of team members, we expect you will grow into it - and will need the additional assessments! They are yours, regardless if you have those team members when you start.
Q: What if I purchase a certain level, but have MORE team members than the level allows? Can I add team members?
A: Yes, you may - but with certain limitations and at an additional per-person cost. Please contact us directly for details at [email protected].
Q: How are you going to teach me things about Kolbe I don't already know?
A: I have personally used Kolbe extensively in hiring, team building and marketing in the last decade. I am also a CERTIFIED Kolbe Consultant that is regularly hired by corporations and business leaders to train their leaders and teams. Even more, Kolbe has hired me to train THEIR clients! I can tell you from experience that even those that have used Kolbe for a long time have a lot to learn. It's one of the most under-utilized tools we have!
Q: Do you guarantee my satisfaction?
A: Yes, I do. I am NOT here to waste your or your team's time. My goal is that you feel like you got several times worth your monetary investment! If you don't feel this way, by the second module's end, just tell me, and I'll refund you. (However, this guarantee excludes the cost of any assessments you've used through me.)
