Many of Dr. Graham’s clients and colleagues…even people meeting her for the first time, see her almost like their own, as they like to say “Shrink,” Psychologist because of her natural and unique people’s and communications skills. An almost innate ability to immediately add clarity/transparency that makes achieving results a lot easier.
Graham left corporate in 2014 to fill gaps and pain-points she noticed being experienced by small businesses and individuals. Shortly after completing her Ph.D., she leaped from the Corporate ship onto the Entrepreneurship Shuttle by starting a consulting business from nothing; except with an idea that she had solutions to some of the challenges to small businesses and individuals seeking personal and professional growth. And so, with only a few pennies in her pockets, she decided to play a role in helping others charter their economic success course. With over 18 years of experience from large to small organizations in over 15 industries and areas of business, she has served as the chief officer, director, senior manager and interim COO.
