The 516 Collaborative, Llc

If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together." African Proverb Yes, we can choose to fly solo on our entrepreneurial journeys, but I firmly believe that we can soar higher when we collaborate with others. Thankfully, LinkedIn provides this profile space to share more of my story. My intertwined passions for connection, information, and encouragement are foundational to my work. Some might say I'm an eternal optimist because I believe there is enough for each of us. Throughout my career, whether crafting legislation in the US House of Representatives or homeschooling my children through high school, taking in massive loads of information, finding connections between people and information and using the information to encourage others has remained constant. All these experiences help me give my clients an extra set of eyes and a unique perspective on the analytical and operational issues impacting their businesses. I empower business owners to use data in their marketing decisions and show how it impacts their operational efficiencies. In the words of Sherlock Holmes, I too believe that "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data." It's time to take the guesswork out of running a business. You don't have to run your business like you are wearing a blindfold. On a personal note, it probably doesn't surprise you that I'm an avid reader. I also love tiramisu, and I'm delighted to know a wonderful gluten-free bakery that makes the most delicious version. My family and my faith are important to me, and I firmly believe in having core values in your business. Contact Information: E-mail: hello@the516collaborative.com Company Website: Podcast:
