The Rising Effect

I'm celebrating 20 years in business this month! I'm so grateful for all of the support, collaborations, and plain luck I've experienced. You can't be in business this long without people who nurture and believe in you.

Thank you to my family, clients, and for such a special career. Extra thanks goes to George Rising for riding all the ups and downs with me -- it isn't always easy being an entrepreneur's spouse! Lots of love and hugs to you all. I'm looking forward to many more years of working with my small business peeps!

Kristine is my go-to HR expert, particularly for leadership coaching for new managers. Her manager training cohort helps cultivate good employees into great managers. She also helps SMBs avoid three major management pitfalls: Lost revenue and missed deadlines from teams stuck in confusion and drama; manager burnout and costly turnover from unsustainable firefighting; and a damaged employer brand when word spreads your managers can't lead. If you're trying to scale and need to cultivate the team to get you there, I encourage you to reach out to Kristine at !
