Welcome to Saplings Consulting
Saplings is my own sapling. After 25+ years of experience in product design, team building, and leading others, I have created Saplings as a way to branch out and extend my reach to help others. I was born a perpetual "helper" and found myself growing into a supporting role for many of my colleagues, direct reports, and people in my network. I have discovered my "helper" nature and my ability to care for others without holding judgement are my superpowers and naturally makes me a good coach, mentor and advisor.
When to have a coaching session?
It has been too long and you still can't make that important decision.
A huge amount of your energy is spent worrying over a single issue.
You keep choosing to do the same thing even though you know you will be frustrated with the outcome.
Your friends and family keep hearing the same complaint from you over and over (and over).
When to have a mentoring session?
You are looking for advice about an issue at work or life.
You think to yourself, "Someone must have figured this out before."
You have tried different ways of solving a problem, and none of them are working.
You are looking for someone to help improve your resume, interview, or interpersonal skills.
When to partner with an advisor?
You want your company to progress faster with less risk.
Your company has a gap in skills or knowledge.
You company could benefit from having a team member that is able to "see around the corner".
You are frustrated having to develop all of your operational processes from scratch.
You could use a friend who understands the stressors of running a start-up.
