Heather Smockum, Founder and CEO
About me...
I'm Heather Smockum, a Certified Online Business Manager® and Strategic Operations Advisor with 15+ years of experience. I work with founders of boutique coaching and consulting practices who have support in place but are still the ones holding everything together.
Most of the time, the problem isn't obvious. Processes live in your head, your team is capable but unclear on what to own, and you can't quite tell if it's a process gap or a people challenge. That's where I come in. I diagnose what's actually broken, then orchestrate the fix, building the structure so your team knows what to do and when, and only comes to you when something's actually stuck.
Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. Bringing me on means you're not carrying it all alone, and you'll finally have the structure to prove it.
