My goal for 2019 is simple: to find opportunities to help companies build better innovative culture and intrapreneurship/corporate entrepreneurship programs. The path to achieve this is a bit of a winding road. I plan to grow the influence of my company, Innovative Revolution, but I’m not opposed to joining forces with a larger, more established consulting firm that believes in my methodologies and strategies for working with companies, or companies themselves that want a dedicated, seasoned entrepreneurial mind at the helm of their innovation growth. At the heart of this goal is my need to work with a company or companies whose missions I believe in, that also believes in me and my work. My personal mission to help companies that need guidance – startups, small businesses, nonprofits – will continue under my personal brand. I hope to find more opportunities to work with entrepreneurs, organizations, and programs that allow me to speak, teach, and lead the future of business. As someone who is in a constant stage of fixing problems around her, I want opportunities; opportunities to grow myself, opportunities to positively impact existing businesses, and opportunities to influence new and upcoming industries. Over the past 16 years, I have created 10 companies and sold 4. I love giving people who need it access to information, resources, and connections that will help them reach their goals. Additionally, I love creating programs, books, and courses that can be implemented in businesses of all sizes, especially programs that are tailored specifically for their needs.
