Organizational Development bridges where you are with where you want to be.

Organizational development and strategic planning act as your business’s GPS, charting the journey from where you are now to where you want to be. It’s more than just mapping a route—it’s about creating actionable strategies that turn goals into results.

Simple, right? Well, not quite.

Mapping your course is more than just jotting down your mission and vision statements, business plans, and objectives and calling it a day.

It's about catapulting those words off the paper and making them function in the real world, helping you to meet your goals. That’s why my consulting services include rolling up my sleeves and executing in-the-weeds work to make it happen!

With her organizational skills and professional approach, she helped to grow my small business, all while keeping my eye on what needs to be done today and in the future. Starting a small business can be very stressful. With Kristin's ability to ask the right questions, she was able to pull me back and look at the big picture, avoiding the pitfalls of trying to do too many things at once or getting caught up in the tiny details.

    Kristin Cassada, Minneapolis, MN

  • "I first met Kristin when I was hired as a general contractor to work on a couple of projects in her home. After learning about her business background, I hired her to help develop my messaging and website. Kristin was to write my website copy; but I soon realized that I needed an education on the process leading to a quality website. Her knowledge guided me through the creation of this business tool. Kristin is a talented, enthusiastic and a creative individual who helped me to develop my thoughts into an interesting and informative read. I enjoyed the experience of working with Kristin and believe she would be an asset to anyone looking for a partner in the development of a website or any other marketing tool."

    John Schroeder, Minneapolis, MN

  • "Kristin was a great asset in helping us start up our first business. The bank had asked us for so much information that it soon became very overwhelming. She helped keep us grounded and on track to meet our personal goal of owning our own business. Kristin created an impressive business plan based on the information we provided to her. The bank did not request any additional information from us once they were presented with the business plan. We received a “yes” for the business within two weeks and were ready to close within one month. This was our dream come true, and we owe so much to Kristin for her great work. The bank even complimented us on this being one of the quickest closings they ever experienced for a business purchase. Thank you so much."

    Mark and Becky, Uniontown, OH

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Kristin on a local campaign where I served as the Campaign Manager. Kristin’s professionalism and writing skills were integral to the success of our campaign. She was very flexible and met and sometimes exceeded project requirements. She was reliable and always provided feedback that refocused the product back to the project’s goals. Kristin’s work on the project included all final editing of marketing materials, creating marketing materials, website review and streamlining the communication group’s editing process. Overall, Kristin is a rare find. A person that was more than qualified for the role she served but had the generosity and commitment to manage the project to completion, all while serving in a volunteer capacity."
