At 5outa5, I partner with clients to transform their back office operations from chaotic to coordinated. My programs go beyond information and focus on structural and mindset skills that add efficiency that lasts. The process is intuitive, custom and astonishingly simple!

My specialties include the workspace – permanently managing paper and workflow; the schedule – mastering the task/time dynamic with the right kind of to-do list and a better calendar; the systems – how to get them off the back burner and add efficiency to the bottom line.

Mastermind Exploration:

One of those astonishingly simple methods I use to help people get organized is the process of consolidation.

I will lead an exercise that creates an intuitive visual display for making the wisest choices about the next “best actions” to fulfill their business goals with less effort and stress. The definition of efficiency!

Mastermind Exploration:

In our mastermind session, we’ll explore how the 6-Word Story technique can be used to inspire a shift in research and design thinking. The premise is simple but profound: by condensing complex ideas into just six words, we challenge ourselves to focus on what truly matters. This exercise not only fosters clarity and creativity but also opens up new perspectives that can drive innovation.

Imagine you’re introducing a new concept in your field. Instead of presenting it in a lengthy, traditional format, you create a 6-Word Story that captures the essence of your idea. This approach can be particularly effective in research and design, where concise, impactful communication can lead to breakthroughs in thinking and application. The brevity of the story makes it memorable, and the clarity makes it actionable.
