GEARS - Everyday Effectiveness

Is your business running like a well-oiled machine?

Or does it feel like there might be a gear or two out of alignment?

If you think of your venture like a car, business operations are the engine under the hood. And although it isn’t as sexy as the paint job or the body styling, when the engine isn’t running well, driving the car is no longer fun.

But how do you know what needs to be fixed?

The tool I created to gauge operational effectiveness for my clients is the GEARS Assessment.

This simple self-assessment takes only a few minutes to complete and helps you:



Make a comprehensive, high-level assessment of your business’ operations



Quickly evaluate operational strengths and weaknesses



Narrow in on the area which requires the most attention



Create focus for yourself and your team to get the biggest results



Tune up your operational engine to ensure the best return for your operational dollar

As the daughter of an automotive technology instructor, I understand how important it is to keep everything under the hood running smoothly.

As a serial entrepreneur myself, I know how difficult it is to consistently step back to see how all the parts of the business work (or don’t work) together. As a consultant with over 30 years of experience, I have worked with clients of every size across an unbelievable range of industries. All of this experience and knowledge gets combined to create unique insights and perspectives for every conversation and engagement.

My business focus is to help successful entrepreneurs move past their business plateaus, build capacity, and create sustainable, scalable and/or sustainable business. But no matter what you are looking for in your business, the first step is always the same: Determine what is working and what is not!

What People Are Saying

Rachel L. Rider

Executive Coach & Leadership Consultant

I knew I needed help when I wanted to scale my business. I was particularly stuck around my product offerings. I needed a sounding board to create infrastructure and processes that would enable us to take on a higher volume of clients.

Working with Gwen has helped me truly shift from seeing my business as just myself to seeing my business as a scalable, living entity that doesn’t need me embedded in it all the time. Thankfully!

“Gwen’s GEARS assessment helps me to prioritize where I need to focus in and on my business to get the results I want.”

Amber Kinney

Business Consultant

“Prior to working with Gwen, my business was at a comfortable plateau. It was profitable and solid, but I knew it could grow further.

Now I’m seeing all sorts of new potential. Gwen and I have worked together for 5 months and I’m on track to increase my business revenue by 50% this year. Which, after three years of same-ness, feels amazing!

I knew I needed help when recently I was in the middle of a launch and things were not going well – I was frustrated, stuck and overwhelmed. I felt out of my league, like the things that I wanted were just out of my reach, I could see them but I couldn’t get there on my own.

In a few short months, Gwen has helped me bring in a world class marketing team, redesign my business model to generate consistent revenue, and put me in my zone of genius. I can now focus on leading my business and living my business priorities, to have fun, have it be easy, have it be lucrative and make a huge impact on the members of the community and the clients I’m here to serve. With Gwen’s support, I feel like we are amazingly on the way to making all that happen.
