GROW your business
with great people.
READY TO GROW BUT HESITATING TO HIRE?
SCALE WITH TALENT is a personalized approach to designing a high-impact team and culture that scales your business sustainably — so you can focus on what matters most.
imagine hiring your first person,
and trusting them right away.
YOUR BUSINESS IS LIKE YOUR BABY.
Letting someone new take care of it is one of the toughest decisions you’ve made so far. But you know you’re ready because you’ve found yourself holding back on your next launch, not imagining how you’ll continue to do everything yourself.
Personal life? Free time? What’s that?
And it's hard to think of how to fit "management" into your already packed workload. But hiring the right team can open up the door to the life (think travel, family, hobbies, freedom) that you dreamed of when you started your biz.
EASE + FLOW = QUALITY RESULTS.
Hiring's only the first part: delegation, leadership, and rescoping your own role are just as important. A leader who empowers people gets more done than one who holds tight to every detail.
MOST FOUNDERS HIRE THE WRONG PERSON FIRST.
But you don't have to be one of them. With the right guidance, you can master hiring, founder-leadership, and create a whole new CEO paradigm, all in one program. We get it done for the long run.
Nice to meet you!
I’m Jess.
AND I'M OBSESSED WITH CREATING INCREDIBLE TEAM CULTURES.
Culture change consulting. Building function after function in founder-led businesses. Creating transformations in global organizations.
After 17 years, I’ve seen and supported some incredible examples of founders-turned-leaders, who balanced heart and inspiration with structure and great practices.
But I’ve also been called in to help change A LOT of environments where people didn't work on culture until culture was a problem. And this was (unfortunately) much more common.
I began to see a clear pattern: too often, founders and leaders who wanted growth and impact struggled to let go, leading to cultures that felt reactive rather than empowering.
I witnessed the consequences firsthand—teams who couldn't row in the same direction together, cultures that actually got in the way of making impact, and founders and leaders who unknowingly held back their own businesses because they couldn't master themselves.
But I also realized it doesn't have to be that way. Most people problems stem from a few simple, but easily missed practices, and most founders simply needed the right guidance and partnership to avoid these pitfalls from the start.
That’s why I created SCALE WITH TALENT—to help founders like you build thriving, scalable teams with a balanced, forward-thinking approach, right from your first-ever hire.
Because it's time to rethink everything — the founders who will thrive in the future are the ones who are ready to do everything differently.
YOU BUILT AN AWESOME BUSINESS.

how it works
-
We kick things off with a 2-hour Strategy Session, where we make key decisions on role scope, timing, skills, and hire type, and I'll create your first job ad and interview guide for you.
-
Prioritization requires you to get super clear on what's really important -- not just in the business, but in life. What do you need to make more space for? How will your values shape your big decisions?
-
Redesign your CEO role so you're spending the majority of your time on your highest-value contributions. Let's get you from “doing it all” to operating at your peak.
-
Map out potential growth paths for your organization, and for the role/roles you are adding. What capabilities will create growth? There's more than one way to scale.
-
We’ll create an onboarding plan tailored to your business’s unique needs—one that supports a new hire’s gradual goal-setting, culture alignment, and process integration over their first three months.
-
Setting up your team for success doesn’t end after onboarding. This session is all about delegating with trust and clarity—establishing autonomy while making it easy to measure outcomes and assess impact.
-
We’ll set up a rhythm for ongoing feedback, targeted goal-setting, and performance management. This process encourages a culture where team members know their work is valued and know exactly how they can excel.
-
Your ideas can drive incredible growth—or overwhelm your team if not managed well. We’ll establish a framework to filter, prioritize, and vet your ideas for impact and feasibility. You’ll share your vision in a way that empowers your team to bring the best ideas to life.
-
As you grow, so does the need to think big. We’ll explore futurist thinking, the phases of business growth, and transformations to expect, so you can lead confidently with an eye on sustainable, scalable success.
-
Great teams, cultures, and leaders never stop evolving. Together, we’ll build a framework to ensure your standards for hiring, culture, and leadership keep growing with your business, cementing a foundation of continual improvement and adaptability.

This program is perfect for founders who are ready to step out of the “doing it all” role, hone their focus, get their lives and families back, and maaaaybe let go of a little control 😉 in order to get access to more time, more money, more freedom... a bigger long-term payoff.
You can be in any industry -- people are people. -
No worries. We’ll start from the ground up, covering everything from creating your first job profile to building a team structure that’s as flexible as it is effective. You’ll gain confidence and clarity at every step.
-
Corporate management experience is a huge asset! But leading and building your own business FEELS personal, and most founders are surprised by that reality! Unlike established corporate structures, you’re designing roles and organizational frameworks from scratch.
We don't waste time on theory, either. This program goes beyond typical "training" by helping you build a custom team structure, define roles aligned with your vision, and create a culture that reflects your values.
With my 17 years of experience designing new roles and scalable functions in founder-led businesses, I’ll guide you in creating a leadership approach, team, and culture that support your growth and freedom.

If the thought of launching makes you feel worried about how you're going to handle the extra volume and work, and you're going it alone (or with a person who can't help) -- then SCALE WITH TALENT is definitely for you.
This is true even if you’re only looking to bring on 1 person. AND, I would count part-timers, trusted consultants, fractional hires, and even vendors as part of your team. It’s not limited to full-timers.If someone is doing work on your behalf, the core skills of leadership and management transfer whether someone’s full time or not.
-
So many of my clients say this! There are a few common scenarios:
The role was focused on the tasks you needed done at the time, but the person couldn't do any more
You were hopeful the person had potential, but they weren't a fit for your / their next step of growth
The person showed up great in their interview, but it was different once they started
Sometimes, it's about job design. Sometimes, it's about learning how to conduct an effective interview and interpret people's answers. Sometimes, it's about taking a longer-term view towards the capabilities you will need in the future.
And honestly? A lot of times, it's actually about letting go. Most founders struggle with this, and that's normal! I'm here to help you diagnose and structure all of this -- you won't have to rely on learning by trial and error anymore.

This is a DONE-WITH-YOU hybrid coaching and consulting program, so you get both strategic guidance and practical tools. I work directly with you, hands-on, to create a system that works uniquely for your business.
