About

Hi! My name is Marie. Leader and entrepreneur. Dog mom. Hallmark Christmas movie enthusiast.

My story: 

I’ve been in leadership roles for over 15 years, including climbing the ladder to COO and Integrator at a family owned home care agency. When I started with this company, it was small but growing quickly - all hands on deck mentality. And that worked great…until it didn’t.

What once was teamwork, became people stretched beyond capacity. Dedication turned to burnout. And fun turned toxic. That’s where EOS came in…

We started our EOS implementation in 2019 - and damn, did things change. Culture shifted. Teams aligned. The business thrived. It didn’t happen overnight (obviously), but we did the work and transformed our organization.

That’s why I do this work now. 

I saw EOS in action and how it can strengthen a business. When culture is strong and you have alignment, your team is showing up at their best. And that means better results: higher revenues, less turnover, and happier clients -  not just employees.

You don’t have to keep living the way you are now…up in the middle of the night, worried, paralyzed by the overwhelm and workload.

Survival mode is not the answer to a thriving business. EOS is. And I knew I would never run a business without it again.

I’m here for YOU…

I’m here to help, always. I work with female business owners and leaders who are overwhelmed, overworked and ready for change. Do you want to take back control of your business and life???

I know your answer was “Hell yeah!” So here's how I can help you do that. While I take you through the pure EOS process of strengthening your business, I hold you accountable to your commitments, I ask you strategic questions, and I create space for real, authentic conversations. If we can’t be open and honest, we aren’t going to get very far, amiright?

Change starts now. Annnndddd…go!

Like I said, I’m here to help. In addition to my dog and Hallmark movies, I LOVE talking EOS. All businesses run a certain way - how is your business running? Reach out and let’s chat - no obligation.

My hope for you is that you get to spend time doing the things you LOVE to do, too.

And one more thing: Go Bills!

My Approach

01
Been There

I'm not just teaching EOS - I've lived it. I get it - the sleepless nights, the workload, the weight on your shoulders - not from a book or theory, but from being where you are now.

02
Head & Heart

My mind doesn’t stop. I see patterns & ask strategic questions that push your business forward. All while reading the room. Need a laugh? A tissue? I got you - because I really do care.

03
No BS

If you’re looking for a yes-(wo)man, it’s NOT me. I’ll tell you what you need to hear and we’ll work through it with honesty & without judgment. Hard truths & real conversations happen here.
