Holly works especially with entrepreneurs and those with an innovative spirit. She primarily coaches those in the natural products industry and who are small businesses such as: skincare, botanicals, herbalists, gardeners, children's retailers, food and beverage producers, soap and household goods, textiles, culinary, artists and craftspeople. Her coaching is relevant for businesses selling retail, wholesale, in-person, or online.

Holly will guide you in developing goals, questions, and solutions specifically for you. All sessions are customized to your needs. Examples of topics include developing a purpose, vision or story for your brand; skill-building; start-up business steps; money mindset and revenue issues; self-empowerment; building a team/onboarding/culture; product and service development and launch; retail or wholesale expansion; scaling a business; transitions such as sale of the business or hiring; and any other challenge that is keeping you up at night.

Holly's Coaching platform lasts for 8 sessions, which can be scheduled weekly or every-other-week. Most clients find this is a good length of time to develop a rapport and identify core needs -- and then plan action steps for implementation. Because every business is different and Holly consults on a wide range of challenges, each person's results will differ. Expect to work hard, press your thinking in new directions, and be ready to implement changes for the success of your business.

Finally, Holly's process includes placing a 100% refundable deposit and scheduling a "discovery call" where we assess needs. If the client or Holly decides not to move forward with coaching, the deposit is completely refunded. Otherwise, we will schedule 8 coaching sessions and develop a plan for intensive, customized business consults for you (and a business partner, if applicable).

Holly has 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, launching and selling businesses. Her work includes publishing books, lecturing internationally, serving as executive director for nonprofits, managing finance and budgets, launching new products and services especially in the natural products industry, and teaching empowerment skills that move a person ahead in their life and business.
