How It Works.

  • We’ll talk through what’s going on in your world — the goals, the fires, the “I’m drowning over here,” and what you’re trying to achieve.

    This is where we decide which level of support you truly need:

    – Quick-Fix Consulting
    – Project-Based Support
    – or Fractional Leadership

  • Depending on what you chose, we’ll deep-dive into the mess (or the growth) to map out:

    – what’s working
    – what’s not
    – where the bottlenecks are
    – and where you want to go next

  • You’ll get a focused roadmap tailored to the level of support you selected:

    Quick-Fix: a custom plan + prioritized checklist
    Project-Based: a scoped project plan with milestones + deliverables
    Fractional Leadership: a strategic roadmap with weekly priorities

  • Support looks different depending on the level you chose:

    Quick-Fix: optional follow-up if you want help implementing
    Project-Based: support as defined in your scope
    Fractional Leadership: weekly or monthly leadership support built-in

FAQ’s:

Golden star-shaped sparkle on a black background
  • Not at all — jewelry is just home base.
    Most of my experience comes from the jewelry and trade show world, so that’s where a lot of my stories come from. But the systems, strategy, and support I offer work for any experience-driven business: events, markets, creative brands, and service-based businesses.

    If you host events, serve customers, or sell anything that requires a human experience, we can probably do great work together.

  • Pretty much anything that needs clarity, cleanup, or steady leadership.

    Most clients come to me for:

    • Systems fixes

    • Event or program rescues

    • Website or tech cleanup

    • Marketing or CRM setup

    • Exhibitor or customer experience improvements

    • Team overwhelm and ops support

    If it needs to run smoother, faster, or with less stress — that’s my lane.

  • That’s exactly what the Discovery Call is for. We’ll talk through what’s going on, and I’ll recommend the right level of support:

    • Quick-Fix Consulting – fast, focused help

    • Project-Based Support – for clearly scoped fixes

    • Fractional Leadership – ongoing strategic partnership

    No pressure. Just clarity.

  • A deep dive into your business — what’s working, what’s not, and where the bottlenecks really are.

    You’ll walk away with a clear picture of what needs to happen next and which package fits best.

  • Absolutely not.

    Quick-Fix is one session.

    • Project-Based has a clear start and end.

    • Fractional Leadership is flexible and month-to-month.

    You choose what you need — no handcuffs.

  • I work with both. If you’re a one-woman show drowning in tasks or a full team needing direction, I can meet you where you are.

  • It depends on your service level:

    • Quick-Fix – optional check-ins if you need more help

    • Project-Based – support aligned with your project timeline

    • Fractional Leadership – regular weekly/monthly strategy, oversight, and decision support

  • If you need help today, book a Quick-Fix.
    If it’s a bigger lift, we’ll schedule your Clarity Session and get rolling fast.

The Hive Behind the Honey.

No one builds great shows or thriving brands alone — and I never pretended to.

Over the years, I’ve been blessed with an incredible circle of former teammates and independent specialists who know how to make magic behind the scenes.

When I stepped into this next chapter, they didn’t drift — they stuck close. Because great teams don’t fall apart — great teams stick together.

Today, I have a trusted bench I can call in at a moment’s notice: logistics minds, creative brains, marketing wizards, registration specialists, customer-care queens — each with years of experience and a whole lot of sparkle.

I lead the strategy.
They support when needed.
Together, we deliver results without headaches.

Why Work With Me.

For years I’ve collaborated with retailers, exhibitors, manufacturers, sponsors, speakers, and organizers — helping bridge their worlds and bring strategy, structure, and a little sparkle to the mix.

Behind Hive Sugar is a trusted hive of seasoned independent pros — specialists I’ve worked with for years who jump in when a project calls for more hands.

Together, we help businesses simplify the chaos, modernize their systems, and grow with confidence.
