Is this YOUR story? Sexy startups get incubators - big corporations have consultants, boards and interdepartmental meetings - and you? You're somewhere in the middle... What you do know is your business - inside and out. Learn what you need to know to take your business to the next level. This program will help you unravel what's really holding you back, where you need to focus, how to delegate the pesky business-ey things and teach you simple tricks to know that it's working or when to make a change. You'll walk out of this session with an actionable, customized, money making plan that you'll be excited to work. If it's good enough for sexy startups and the company whose stock you just bought - it's absolutely good enough for your business.

With expertise in technology strategy, information management, and compliance regulated data and most notably in customer relationship management systems, Amy has been quoted and featured in the media, including The New York Times, Thompson Reuters, and The Philadelphia Business Journal.
