How it works
The Ops Playbook is a DONE FOR YOU solution that guides a small business owner from where they are today to where they want to be across six foundational aspects of how work gets done on their team; identifying the lightweight processes, systems, or SOPs needed to bridge that gap.
The program includes:
- 4-hour deep-dive into each of the 6 focus areas for building an effective team. You will come away from this call with IMMEDIATE actions to implement that will save you time and money. Average clients identify optimizations of 30 hours and $14k-100k PER MONTH
- Design & creation of your Ops Playbook, customized to your business
- Presentation to your team to introduce the playbook and land the value it brings
- 3 months of implementation support/coaching for you and your team (can be used for 1:1 coaching for business owner/managers/team members, development of templates and resources, business growth strategy sessions, workshops for the team)
Within 90 days, you will be saving 30 hours a month in time spent focused on the wrong things, get one extra day back PER WEEK, and have a clear plan for when and how to scale.

What people are saying...
A PR company transformed
The Client: The Pitch Club
The Challenge: A business owner eager to get out of the weeds and into growth-mode and turn a division of her business from a cost center to a profit center
The Result: "In the three or four weeks since since we we worked with Lia on the playbook in the last month, my team is now nearly paid in client acquisition and basically retention and ongoing client payments, they paid for over half of their cost. And by September 1st, which is in just a little over 40 days, we should be completely profitable with an area of business that was only costing money, which is not only great for the bottom line, but it's just great from an energetic standpoint for me, because I don't feel such pressure to always be the one that has to create the clients and the sales."
A MedSpa CEO eager to scale herself and her business
The Client: Sculpt Wellness
The Challenge: A CEO feeling like no matter what she focused on, there was always more to do; worried she was missing opportunities to grow her business and better serve her clients.
The Result: "I just know that for so many other business owners out there or for CEOs, it can just feel like you're always spinning your wheels and not a lot of movement. And you really, how you were able to come in and so quickly pull out of me what you helped me realize, I actually do know what I need to do. I just have never had anyone help me be able to like structure it in a way that feels realistic, doable, and then you just immediately and so quickly in such a quick turnaround, creating an action plan... I really am blown away at your expertise, your, special gift that you have to come in and to really read a team and to see where there's communication blocks and where there's room for improvement and how to really like 10X productivity."
A MedSpa in hyper growth mode
The Client: BevelUp
The Challenge: A CEO scaling to her second location, eager to maintain the same world class luxury experience from one location to the next as she expands, and have more ownership across the team in growing the business.
The Result: "After introducing the playbook to the team, I feel like I have given them the support and clarity they need to succeed - a road map about who we are as a brand and where they show up in that success story. It has taken the burden of being an "issues manager" or "guidance counselor" for the team off my shoulders and given them the freedom to move through challenges with confidence. The team now has a resource that clearly defines how success looks at BevelUp and it has given me the freedom to focus on building the brand."
"Lia's many talents, experience, and practical approach to building resilient high-performing teams is unmatched. I've had the privilege to witness firsthand the transformative impact of her guidance, including double digit increases in employee sentiment scores following her programming. I can't think of a better way to elevate your organization and find deeper enjoyment in your work."
Engineering Director, Google
"Lia was fabulous! She spoke to our group of leaders to frame our forthcoming conversations about Navigating Risk & Reward. She was warm and friendly while her experience and knowledge about workplace realities really showed through. It was exactly what we needed, got the group thinking about — and engaged in — the topic, and ready to explore it together even more in the future. Thank you, Lia!"
Vice President, The National Nonprofit Alliance
"Lia and I focused on strengthening my skills around people management and giving difficult feedback. Her coaching helped me delegate responsibilities better, saving me hours of time in my own work, and turn around the performance with a struggling team member into a star employee."
Group Account Director, Skona
