9 Signs Your Company Has a Culture Problem

May 11, 2021

Crucial 2020 Reflection Questions + 2021 Framework for Success

Tamie / January 11, 2021

How was 2020 for you? How did things go in your business and at home during the pandemic? 

My name is Tamie Rising and I am an Executive Coach with Pathfinder Solutions, helping leaders increase performance, value and revenue in their company, and balance work/life priorities to support success.
