Our people.
Steve Kim, Principal
Growing up I worked with my parents and watched them struggle and succeed in a variety of businesses ranging from hair goods, a mini-market, a construction company, a residential plumbing, a machine shop, and an oil-lube auto repair shop. I saw first hand the negative impact of having the wrong employees and business owners performing tasks they should be delegating or outsourcing.
It affects everything: your customers, other employees, your cash flow, your peace of mind and your work-life balance. As an adult, I found myself struggling with the same issues in my own business. Through years of trial and error, I was able to develop a simple and proven process that kept me focused on the right things and ultimately allowed me to perform better.
I now specialize in helping small to medium size business owners with organizational development, talent acquisition and putting them on a path to an enjoyable, sustainable, profitable, and healthy work environment.
