GROWTH PILLAR: Leadership & Ops
WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Corporate escapees / Leaders who've outgrown their original business identity
WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: A clear diagnostic framework for identifying what's actually blocking growth — identity, strategy, or infrastructure — plus a free tool to find out where you stand right now.
Most business owners who feel stuck aren't failing. They're in the mid time — the space between who they've been and who their business now requires them to be. That gap is real. And it's fixable.
Paula Washington has spent over 30 years helping leaders and business owners move through that gap. She started her first business after being downsized from corporate, walked into a bank for a loan, and walked out with a contract. That story tells you everything about how she operates.
In this East Trade Winds session, Paula breaks down the three places to look when nothing is moving: identity, strategy, and infrastructure. She explains why effort alone doesn't compound — and why the operating system you built five or ten years ago may be the very thing slowing you down today.
Key topics covered:
Paula Washington is a leadership strategist, executive coach, and author. She works with business owners and leaders who are doing everything right but still can't seem to move forward. She helps them identify the real block — then gives them a clear path to grow their leadership, strategy, and systems in alignment.
