Through the years of consulting with Business Owners and Executives of Fortune 500 companies, what we’ve found is, it’s not the Business Owner, Executive, or Organization that is failing.

It's the lack of a comprehensive and agile Action Plan that is.

And without a plan in place, it’s hard to measure the right metrics for day-to-day success.

You can absolutely have the business/organization/team of your dreams, without having to sacrifice your sanity to do so. But it’s going to take putting in place the right systems and operational infrastructure to make it happen. We have developed a 5-part Operations Framework that we use with our clients to align their business goals to their day to day operations, allowing them to Plan, Grow, and Scale in a sustainable manner! It empowers business owners to put in place the infrastructure and systems needed for their organizations. And once in place, they can step away from the confusion of the day to day to-dos and start to look at the big picture.

Our Kickoff Social will jumpstart this collaborative effort; the event will provide attendees with the opportunity to share information, accomplishments, challenges, and resources; conduct business; meet a mentor; and develop valuable business relationships.

Mobile bar, light apps, and networking included!

Mission: To serve as a resource for GovCon executives and companies on the unique challenges that face them and their industry.

To serve as a peer group to discuss pain points, successes, industry trends, new laws, and regulations.

Thousands of small business owners and more than a million Marylanders they employ have a new way to save for emergencies and retirement. MarylandSaves offers workers throughout the state the opportunity to start a personal WorkLife Savings Account automatically funded from their paychecks.

The service is free for businesses and the state waives an annual $300 filing fee for those businesses that enable automatic employee enrollment. Employees can opt out at any time.

WorkLife Savings Accounts are Roth IRAs funded by employees through payroll deductions and are under each saver’s control; savers will have multiple investment options to choose from and can decide at any time to change their savings rate, change their investment options or opt out entirely. They can also withdraw their money or take their account with them when they change jobs.

Weekly Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Awareness Conversations

Several months ago, Forbes editorial leadership updated its style guide, capitalizing the letter B in Black, underscoring that Black is a group of people, not a color. Today, we’re going a step further: Forbes will no longer use the word minority to identify or classify races of people.

This wasn’t a hard decision. First, non-whites are already a majority of the world’s population. Second, in my lifetime, people of color will compose a majority in America. Finally, as any Black or Brown person will tell you (and as echoed in the words of Prince), there is nothing minor about us.

There is an old proverb that talks about tying an elephant to a stake as a baby so that it cannot run away. As the elephant grows, the stake does not, yet the elephant still believes it cannot remove itself from the stake. The elephant believes it is too weak or unable to explore beyond its immediate surroundings. It never tries because it’s already convinced that it cannot.
