Are you ready to finally have the freedom to move the needle forward on your business?
It’s time to step fully into your visionary role and strategically scale your business.
Your vision is there and it’s meant to impact your audience but you’re overwhelmed with team management, day to day operations, and too tired to do the part of your business that you love - bringing your vision to life.
It’s time to break through the clouds and find your way back to clear skies and greater clarity.
The formula for a CEO ready to scale: Look up not down. Look out not in. Look forward not back. But how do you step out of the forest and take a bird's eye view that’s necessary for growth (and your own joy?)
Look out, not in
The path to scaling comes when you are able to look ahead at your goals and strategically navigate the path to each ‘next’ with confidence. Whether the next is a new course, service, or program -- the truth is, being bogged down by the weight of the internal functions of your business will always hold you back from building out toward your future.
Look up, not down
There is no one in your business that has the intuitive foresight and intimate connection with their audience more than you. You need the freedom (and the confidence) to begin connecting & resourcing your audience in the way only a focused leader can.
Look forward, not back
The danger of looking back is the tendency to engage in fear & which breeds disappointment. The ability to fully let go and thrive as a confident leader comes when you are supported and secure with your operations and path so you can be more excited for the future of your business vs. scared of scarcity.
Welcome to Virtually Connected Solutions
I’m Kate, the strategic partner for high-achieving CEOs and passionate visionaries. I partner with you to be your director of operations for your business and keep your team moving in synergy and alignment with your vision, strategy and goals. I offer 3 main paths to connect:
Director of Operations
You don’t need another integrator, you need someone to manage your team efficiently and economically to keep everyone connected to and aligned with the vision and objectives you are working towards throughout the year.
Think of me as your eyes, ears, and voice to the team and as a partner and accountability support for you as you commit to the vision and implementation plan laid out for your business.
HR & Hiring Services
You need the right team and you don’t need the extra hours and stress it takes to find, hire, and onboard them. My personalized and tailored HR & Hiring Services creates a clear path and integration for each phase of the hiring process.
Strategic Mapping Model™
Is your vision cloudy and your excitement about your business at a low point?
It’s impossible for you to see the full view of your business when you are wading through the weeds. The truth is, CEOs and visionaries need a high-level partnership. Someone to capture the vision and help you connect the dots. Someone who can strategize, systemize, and optimize for you – while you do the parts of your business that light you up. You need a Director of Operations & strategist like me to pull you out of the weeds and lift you to your place of visibility again!
- Maybe you have so many ideas and you have a general plan for the growth and future of your business but you are too overwhelmed to create a clear path forward
- You may even have team members that you're investing into but they aren’t working in synergy so there is no efficiency and it’s a financial drain.
- I’m betting marketing is looked at as individual compartments vs. an eco-system of connection and conversion for your services and offers
- Perhaps you have been trying to keep everything afloat and your personal life feels like a pipe dream and you don’t even want to hear someone tell you to take a vacation- - how would you even do that?
- Worse still, this isn’t how you pictured your life as a CEO. You wanted to have a specific culture and the ability to build a brand around your ability to vision.
How we connect the dots within your business...
Open communications
Readily sharing information between people in a transparent, honest, consistent, and dependable way. When team members openly communicate, they express their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and plans clearly and assertively.
Sense of humour
Humour makes it easier to get along with people, communicate more effectively, enjoy work more and understand people better.
Collaboration
Listening and evolving together, helping and supporting each other for the sake of a collective goal; reciprocity.
Self care
We need to take good care of ourselves before we can productively put out good work and innovate new ideas.
Value talent
