Helping Businesses Grow Strategically
Increase the valuation of your business through our proven Scaling Up coaching & consulting
Focused On Your Success
As a Scaling Up Coach, I am trained to help you better manage the multiple priorities that pull you in many directions. I help you invest your time where it counts so that you can enjoy the climb much more.
I utilize many coaching tools, including the Scaling Up trademarked One-Page Strategic Plan and Rockefeller Habits Checklist, I will assess your goals, identify barriers to growth, and develop a customized plan to help your company scale.
The process starts with an emphasis on the Four Decisions® methodology everyone must get right:
People
Have you got the right people to grow and are they effective? I help you get the right people doing the right things with clear accountabilities and metrics.
Execution
We work on your execution habits. This quickly improves gross margins and profitability while reducing the time it takes for everyone to complete their work.
Strategy
I help you to develop a unique one-page strategic planning document that will help you get everyone on the same page that is easy to communicate.
Cash
Growth doesn't have to mean no cash in the bank. We walk through the cash cycle and help you work through concrete ways to double operating cash flow in the next twelve months.

Testimonials
Steve is working as my executive coach for the past 12 months. Steve is a gifted listener with a unique ability to ask the right questions helping me identify the most important issue upon which I need to focus. With Steve's coaching, I have implemented EOS and improved accountability within my Company. I've also learned to step outside of my business to work "on" my business, which is harder than it sounds! Steve has been instrumental in helping me take big steps toward a growth culture, and helped me stay focused on the right things to move my business forward. I would highly recommend Steve as an executive coach, business and strategic planning facilitator.
Kathy Pfannerstill
President/OwnerPresident/Owner Toolcraft Machining Inc.
I highly recommend Steve for his skills in strategic planning. Steve came to our retreat and guided us through the strategic planning process. Steve does a great job facilitating the process and adding value. Steve then put our plan together and has followed through keeping us on track. Steve has gone out of his way to drop into our meetings and put together documents and spreadsheets for us, including an executive level scorecard. I would recommend Steve to any organization that is looking for executive coaching and strategic planning.

General Manager, Tools Inc.
I've known Steve for several years as a friend and now a Business Coach. The most important characteristic I admire about Steve is his integrity and willingness to say and then do the right thing, no matter the circumstances. I admire his intelligence, experience, and knowledge of the manufacturing industry and straightforwardness to call it as it is. I've witnessed his transition to Business Coach and willingness to deal with severe issues and implement meaningful change for his clients. As a senior leader, I appreciate his efforts to understand all the facts, provide attention to detail, and research for the right solutions for his clients. I highly recommend Steve and his company as the right choice to help an enterprise implement transformational change.
