My services
Optimization
We can review how you’re managing your operations, technology, workflow, etc. We’ll identify room to streamline and implement efficiency in a manner that is repeatable and sustainable for continued success. We’ll find ways to control any chaos or disorganization.
Team Alignment
We can also apply optimization strategies to the alignment of people. Lots of confusion and lost time occurs when people aren’t clear on their role. An agreed upon, simple and concise communication plan will be mapped out. Good communication is THE key success factor in any project.
Actionable
We’re all bombarded with media noise from videos, blogs, emails, books, websites, etc. It is easy to be confused and not know where to start. I will provide you with appropriate level of detail to get started, remain focused, stay on track and meet your objectives.
organization
Shared files easily become dumping grounds of data leaving you searching for that one important piece of info. We can establish a process to streamline and ensure you have quick and easy access to pertinent information. This practice will keep you organized with minimal efforts and a few good habits.
My approach
For all projects….
We’ll discuss your goals, objectives and requirements
I’ll draft a schedule outlining all tasks, resources, dependencies and timeline
We’ll review and I’ll update based on your feedback
At that point we’ll have a foundational plan of action which will be updated along the way. Projects can be managed in the manner that best suites your needs and your budget. The level of support is priced accordingly. Options include…
you lead
We develop a solid plan of action and get everything organized and ready to go. You implement the project and I go on my way.
I Lead
I can serve as the lead working with your team to complete the project. We’ll have periodic reviews to track progress, address issues, make necessary adjustments..
We Collab
We take a hybrid approach becoming Accountability Partners. You take the lead with joint status reviews and discuss next steps and any necessary adjustments.

What People Are Saying
“Nancy and I worked together on a client project and I am so impressed with her customer-centric project management style. Highly professional, Nancy is direct and thorough, with attention to detail second to none. Nancy always sought to understand the customer and through this empathy always put the customer's needs first, and the customer really appreciated that she made the effort to get to know them and advocate for their needs. Nancy's direct communication style lends itself to project management and most importantly, Nancy always follows through on what she says she is going to do. That might seem simple, but I still find it to be a rare quality.”

— PAUL F
“I had the privilege to work with Nancy while working for a small company, Net Conn. Nancy interviewed me and took a chance on me- I had the capability and needed the mentorship and guidance of a strong female supervisor. I found that and more in Nancy. She demonstrated strong leadership skills in a challenging work environment, excellent communication skills with the team and our customers, and organizational skills while managing numerous simultaneous projects. Nancy was friendly and helpful while also holding our team to her high standards in everything we produced. Our clients trusted our team due to Nancy's leadership, and our company president relied on Nancy's expertise to guide our work and on-site decisions, frequently joining our team to assist us in whatever Nancy needed. Nancy's level of integrity, class, and work ethic are true assets in any work environment.”
