Welcome to Future Wonderful
Admittedly, days got dark when I heard OPEN Madison had to cancel the ever so impactful Career Summit due to harm and threats to our community. The safe space we were creating was in danger. I cried. I called a few friends for walk-n-talks so we could cry it out, stomp it out, and then, like we always do, end our calls with big spirited reminders that we are amazing, we’re magic, and we have purpose!
What is my purpose?
My purpose is simple: empower changemakers through values-aligned services that actually work. So I’m pivoting just a bit to a fractional Chief Growth and Impact Officer… And it feels wonderful. So I’m launching this role by designing a workshop series. And if you want to be a part of it, let’s have a walk-n-talk!
Growth And Impact Challenge: Strategic Workshop Series
This has yet to be updated on my website, so you’re getting the first look at my new offering:
Five strategic challenges designed for LGBTQ+ business owners and allies who want to scale without selling their souls:
Foundation Challenge: Build values that actually drive decisions (not just wall art)
Connection Challenge: Turn authentic relationships into business opportunities
Voice Challenge: Create content that resonates with your true audience
Revenue Reality Challenge: Test a values-aligned approach that actually converts
Impact Proof Challenge: Measure and share the change you're creating
Each challenge transforms theory into action, with real business results you can measure and celebrate.
