Leadership, Operations & Financial Coaching for Sustainable Growth
Running a business shouldn't mean running in circles. At Lamppost Leadership, we help business owners break through growth ceilings by bringing clarity to what matters most: strong leadership, healthy culture, and smart financial decisions.
We work alongside you to strengthen your team, streamline your operations, and build a business that's both profitable and purposeful—one that supports your people and the vision you started with.
You know your business has potential. But getting there? That takes more than just working harder. It takes clarity on where you're going, a team that's aligned and capable, and financial decisions that actually move you forward.
That's where we come in. We help you connect the dots between great leadership and solid financials, so you can make confident decisions, build accountability into your team, and grow a business that lasts.
Lamppost Leadership brings a rare balance of leadership insight and financial clarity. Their coaching helped us tighten operations, improve margins, and lead our team with far more confidence.

I've spent over 20 years helping business owners like you figure out what's really holding them back—and how to fix it.
Here's what I know: You didn't start your business to feel stuck. You started it with a vision. But somewhere between the daily fires and the endless to-do list, that vision got buried under cash flow concerns, team challenges, and the constant pressure to just keep things moving.
I get it. I've been there. I've owned and run businesses myself, which means I've dealt with the same frustrations you're facing right now—tight margins, inconsistent cash flow, teams that need development, and the nagging question of whether you're making the right calls.
Here's how I help:
I don't just give advice from a textbook. I work in the trenches with you, combining financial know-how, operational systems, and leadership development to help you build a business that actually works. Whether that's implementing Profit First to get your cash flow under control, building financial forecasts that give you a clear view of what's ahead, or developing your leadership team so they can step up and lead alongside you.
I'm a certified coach through the John Maxwell Team and have passed the training for both Donald Miller's Business Made Simple coaching and Ramsey Solutions Master Financial Coach programs. I serve as a fractional CFO for businesses that need financial leadership without the full-time price tag. But more than the certifications, what I bring is real-world experience and a straightforward approach: let's figure out what's broken, fix it, and build something sustainable.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing with confidence, let's talk.
