Helping small business owners level up and lose the feelings of overwhelm and guilt that come from running a business

Creating space, clarity, and confidence for leaders who care deeply about what they're building.

I created Boss Level: Engaged because I believe leaders do their best work when they have the space, support, and confidence to move forward intentionally.

Through coaching, consulting, leadership intensives, and hands-on implementation support, I help business owners, nonprofit leaders, and organizations create clarity, build structure, and generate sustainable momentum.

OUR MISSION

Boss Level: Engaged delivers clarity, strategy, and structure through hands-on coaching and business consulting so owners and nonprofit leaders can focus on their priorities, build sustainable systems, and intentionally move toward their goals with confidence.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

 If you've found yourself here, there's a good chance you're carrying a lot.

 Maybe you're running a business. Maybe you're leading a nonprofit. Maybe you're trying to make important decisions while simultaneously answering emails, solving problems, supporting your team, and wondering when exactly you're supposed to have time to think.

 I've been there.

 After decades of building businesses, serving in nonprofit leadership, creating systems, solving problems, and helping organizations work more effectively, I realized something that changed how I approach leadership:

 Most people don't need someone to rescue them.

They need someone who can help them see clearly, tell them the truth, advocate for them, and walk alongside them while they figure out what comes next.  That's the work I love.

 I'm direct. I care deeply. I ask hard questions. I believe systems create freedom, accountability is an act of care, and growth happens when people have the space and support to move forward intentionally.

 And yes, I absolutely get into the actual work with my clients.

 — Wendy

The values I bring (and look for in the leaders I work with) are:

Precision + Execution
I believe clarity creates momentum and good ideas only matter if you can put them into practice. My job isn't to hand you a template or tell you what worked for someone else. It's to help you uncover what works for you, build the structure to support it, and create a path forward that feels both intentional and doable.

Truth + Directness

I believe honest conversations create better leaders and stronger organizations. I'll tell you the truth, ask the hard questions, and advocate for you fiercely. Accountability isn't judgment. It's support.

Growth + Momentum

I believe people do their best work when they have space, support, and confidence. Growth isn't about hustle or perfection. It's about creating sustainable momentum and moving forward with intention.

I also believe our work should be inclusive, equitable, and deeply human. I work best with people who value respect, curiosity, compassion, and creating spaces where everyone belongs. Leadership is serious work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the journey.

Boss Level: Engaged isn’t for everyone…and that's intentional.

The best work happens when there's honesty, trust, accountability, mutual respect, and a willingness to do the work.

If you're looking for generic advice, polished corporate jargon, or someone to tell you what you want to hear, I'm probably not your person.

But if you're looking for clarity, strategy, support, and someone willing to roll up her sleeves and work alongside you, welcome.

You’re exactly who I built this for.

A little more about Wendy:

Believe it or not, I originally planned to become a meteorologist. I love storms and was convinced weather would be my life's work…until physics had other ideas.

 More than 26 years ago, I started my first business and discovered what would become a lifelong obsession: understanding how people, organizations, and systems work together. After a brief stop in corporate IT and more than two decades running a successful business in the wedding and events industry, I found myself doing what I've always loved most: helping passionate people get organized, gain clarity, and move meaningful work forward.

 Along the way, I became deeply involved in nonprofit leadership, serving on boards, leading committees, building systems, facilitating difficult conversations, and helping organizations create structure and momentum.

 Looking back, the thread connecting all of it is pretty obvious: I've always loved helping people get their stuff together.

 Today, that's exactly what I do through Boss Level: Engaged.
