Company Description:
Move Your Mountain is a corporate consulting business designed to partner with leaders and the tools they most need for ever-changing workforce challenges.
2 years.
What do you do?
I help leaders improve turnover and disengagement by meeting the needs of today’s radically changing workforce expectations
– replacing standardized methods of training
– smashing apart employee goal setting
– and understanding the deeper reasons their team is detached.
Who do you serve?
Corporate managers and leaders struggling with turnover and employee disengagement.
What’s one tip or piece of wisdom you’d share with new women entrepreneurs?
Make sure you don’t confuse temporary defeat with permanent failure. It’s only true failure if you quit.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
Being an entrepreneur means you’re your own boss, but you’re also your own support. Spend time networking with the intention of finding (and giving) support, not just to find clients.
