When change hits, even great leaders can lose their footing. Cliff sits down with executive coach and three-time founder Beverly to uncover how to stay steady when roles evolve, markets shift, and the stakes rise. From building and selling a janitorial company to launching an EdTech venture and now coaching high-performing executives, Beverly brings a rare mix of operational grit, financial acumen, and human insight that turns chaos into clarity.

We dig into the lessons that actually compound: hire operational muscle early when the work is physical or process-heavy, treat silence from prospects as “not yet,” and build a pipeline with patience rather than panic. Beverly dismantles the myth that entrepreneurship guarantees balance; instead, she shows how self-care and boundaries are daily practices that protect long-term performance. On team building, she shares why character beats credentials, how to invite dissent to spark innovation, and where Radical Candor—challenging directly while caring personally—elevates trust and results.

You’ll also get practical tactics you can use today. Beverly’s paper-and-pen reset helps overwhelmed founders translate noise into next steps. Her focus on commitment, discipline, and execution turns good ideas into measurable progress. Looking ahead, she’s rolling out group Enneagram coaching for management teams, giving leaders a shared language for collaboration, conflict, and decision speed—ideal for companies navigating growth and change.

If you’re a small business owner, founder, or executive aiming for resilient growth, this conversation delivers clear strategies, mindset shifts, and tools you can put to work immediately.
