Operations Advisory for Established Course Creators

Strategic support for visionary online educators with big ideas and a blind spot for how they’ll actually get it all done.

On-call operational strategy for solo course Creators

Make big moves without stressing over every decision

You’re in a season of growth but you’re not quite ready to hire high-touch support. And you have zero desire to outsource your decision making to well-meaning coaches who just want to shove you into their “proven frameworks” rather than advise you on what will actually work in practice for your unique business.

The problem is that you’re carrying your whole business, often in your head, and don’t have the space or operational expertise to spot and fix the bottlenecks keeping you stuck…

Which leads to a lot of last-minute panic, missed opportunities and anything non-urgent getting pushed off your to-do list indefinitely.

It’s not sustainable and it’s not setting you up for long-term success.

You need a strategic thought partner in your corner to help get you out of survival mode and start brining those exciting ideas you’ve been sitting on for years to life - without burning the candle at both ends.

The Process

Here’s How It Works

Part 1

Monthly Meetings

Each month, we’ll meet for a 90-minute team meeting to zoom out and take a look at your bigger goals, reflect on past progress and then review all of your projects on deck before digging into the details to design your practical plan of attack for the month ahead.

Asynchronous option available! Just email me after booking and we’ll set it up.


Part 2

Done-With-You Project Planning

Anytime we tackle something new, big or small, we’ll work through my project planning process to map out all of the moving parts to create a manageable plan to bring your idea to life. I’ll then add all the to-dos and deadlines to your project management tool of choice so you know exactly what to work on when.


Part 3

Ongoing Strategic Support

Between calls, we’ll keep in touch via our private channel where we can talk through any questions or new projects that pop up between calls so you don’t have to second guess what to work on and where to focus.


Part 4

Weekly Checkins

Each week, I’ll proactively check in with you for extra accountability and to help adapt your workload if life is lifeing.

“This is so insanely helpful, I feel like everyone needs this!”

This whole process has been very enlightening and helped me find the through line in my work that I’ve been struggling to find for years.

I wish I would have done this a year ago!

It would have been so helpful to have the validation, permission and guidance to tie together my swirling ideas into one cohesive whole.

And you know what else is funny, I’ve not reached for AI at all while working with you! You’ve extracted everything out of my brain beautifully in a way that really speaks to the level of expertise, understanding and humanity you’ve put into this offer.
