Entrepreneur. Visionary. Mentor.
With 25 years of experience as an award-winning entrepreneur, I’ve discovered that my purpose is to inspire and support others in achieving their goals. My journey proves that anything is possible when you move confidently toward your dreams and commit to doing what it takes.
My approach draws from success in the retail, wholesale, film, and hospitality industries, along with coaching from Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, and Mary Morrissey. I’m here to share what I’ve learned, help shape your vision, and equip you with the tools for lasting success.

How to do i build a team that works in correlation?Building a thriving team starts from the top. You must lead by example. Be the first to start any task, identify each team member’s strengths, and assign roles accordingly. This empowers your team to feel motivated, aligned, and ready to excel.
-
We’ve outgrown our current systems... but I don’t even know where to start.First — what exactly is your system? If it lives only in your head, or if your staff is constantly asking for direction, that’s the first clue it needs reworking. We start by auditing what’s working, what’s outdated, and where the friction lives. Then we build systems that serve you — not the other way around.
-
I know we need better marketing... but we’re too busy running the place.There’s a saying: Do what you do best — and hire the best for the rest. If that’s not in the budget, start where you are: Build relationships with neighbouring businesses Launch a simple affiliate or referral program Get involved in local trade shows Or stand outside offering free coffee while your team invites people inside The key? Be seen. Be consistent. And stay creative.
-
The design of our space looks beautiful… but it’s not performing.Most of the time, design and function don’t match. First, try shifting your layout weekly — even slightly. This re-directs regular customers to new areas and allows them to discover products they may have previously overlooked. Second, add shelving or adjust displays (if the budget allows). A few strategic changes can create new visual interest and improve flow.
-
Honestly? I’m exhausted. I want to grow, but I don’t want to burn out.Use the 3T Mindset: Tune in – Arrive with a clear plan for the day Turn up – Amplify your energy, lead with presence, and create clear to-do lists for your team Transform – Visualize where you want to be in 3, 6, and 12 months That vision will help you shift from survival mode to strategy mode — and fuel the creativity your business truly needs.
-
I have a vision. I just need someone who can actually help me build it.Start with this truth: Do what you can with what you have — because what you have is always more than you think. Write down your vision. Then break it into actionable steps. We help you turn that into a structure, a plan, and a brand that reflects it — without the overwhelm.
-
What exactly do you do?We provide solutions, strategies, and energy alignment for all of the above — and more. At Unseen Strategy, we don’t just fix problems. We help business owners develop the right mindset, leadership, and structure to go from good to great — and feel good doing it.
