Innovation: How to Build a Strategy You Enjoy Working On

I’m the “business hug every entrepreneur needs”—at least, that’s what my clients tell me. I’m an entrepreneur, teacher, coach, and mentor. Every day I apply my skills and bring my broad experience in marketing, operations, and teaching to get dreams, strategies, and processes off the page and into the world successfully and joyfully.

As co-owner of Kelford Inc., I spend a fair amount of time translating complex entrepreneurial emotions and desires into clear operational, financial, and marketing actions so our clients can achieve meaningful business results and lifelong desires.

I practice what I preach and teach—structured joy to move you through your day, overcome barriers, and unlock opportunities. You can’t spell functional without FUN, and that’s what you’ll get with us—joy in the process, enjoyment in your business, and the structure to keep things moving strategically.

From Notion to Roam to Obsidian to Craft to Apple Notes to a pen and piece of paper, the number of note-keeping apps and systems seems to grow every day. We're talking through how to find the system and the tech that works for your unique style and needs.

One of the biggest barriers to innovation is a fixed mindset. This mindset can exist in the innovator or in the system where the innovation needs to play out.  In this session we go beyond an established technique like Brainstorming to consider four other approaches to unlock the field of play, and the players so that players contribute, ideas flow and results in creative collaboration.
