In the 14th episode of Talkin’ Talent, Sam sits down with Toby Wyatt, founder of Motherlode Consulting, as she shares how her unique career journey led her to offering “ops in a box” business operations services to support CEOs and leadership teams. Her trial-and-error approach, from starting a greeting card company as a child, to obtaining a degree as a high school math teacher, helped her uncover her passion for mentorship and helping others succeed in business. 

Unable to find a teaching job, she pivoted into business operations roles at several companies before starting Motherlode in 2021. Through her diverse professional experiences, Toby recognized a need to help companies with 50 to200 employees with operations, human resources, change management and scaling. 

This episode covers: 

• Key milestones in Toby’s career and how she transformed challenges into opportunities
• Operational and talent challenges small and medium-sized companies may face as they scale 
• Indicators businesses may benefit from operational consulting
• How fractional operational expertise can help CEOs reimagine human resources, implement organizational changes and handle transitions
