In this episode, Roxanne chats with Barb Stuhlemmer, a former technical writer turned business strategist. They discuss the challenges of starting a business, the need for systems and strategic planning, and managing communication in family businesses. They also explore team building, the importance of hiring the right people, and adapting to technological changes.

On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome “Connections Expert”, Barb Stuhlemmer.

In her 30+ years with small incorporated businesses, Barb Stuhlemmer has seen exactly how owners struggle to balance the requirements of growing a business with the financial and time restrictions that growth brings.

Barb has developed a unique process for owners who are burdened with the leadership of their business, overwhelmed by the lack of control over their time, and frustrated with the money required to grow the business.

Authentic Touch Points:

Unlike a coach, who would ask questions like, "what do you want to focus on today" or "how do you feel about what you are doing", Barb comes with a lifetime of tools, strategies, and tactical planning process to create the next steps that will finally get the work of growth done. Barb's clients make as much as 800% increase in as little as 11 months with her support.

Barb is the advisor & confidant to the CEO. She brings an outside view and solutions to inside issues so they can create the business that fits with their life plan.

Join me to hear Barb discuss how to create better connections and how you show up in the world.

Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions or thoughts.

Thanks again!
