She has so many different skills and talents.
Johanna came to us as a content expert and started as a project manager in the field, but when I needed a Chief of Staff to help me start a new department she was my natural choice because she has so many different skills and talents. She just pulls them out as if I had a Swiss Army knife in my pocket. Absolutely invaluable support!

She made a difficult process feel easier.
Johanna is incredibly empathetic and smart, so I often referred parents and new families to her so she could advise and mentor them as they were navigating services for their kids. She made a difficult process feel easier and more structured, even for me as a provider.

I was so grateful for her help!
I met Johanna when I just started homeschooling my youngest kids and she was transitioning her child back into regular school. Wow, what timing! She had designed all these systems and even developed a database of UC Berkeley graduate students who were available to teach small classes for homeschooling kids. She really had the process nailed and I was so grateful for her help!

Johanna helped me figure out a path forward.
My husband died a few months after we bought a farm for our extended family to gather and keep our horses, creating a homestead for our kids and grandkids. He was the driving force behind our vision, and I felt panicked and alone after he died. A friend recommended Johanna and she has helped me figure out a path forward.

Johanna made sure everything was done on time and on budget.
When we sold our house there were so many moving parts that we really needed help to get and stay organized. As a busy executive I didn't have time to manage this process, so Johanna worked with the agents and vendors to make sure everything was done on time and on budget. I'm not sure what I would have done without her – perhaps never gotten my house on the market!

Personal and Family Chief of staff
Do you and your family need a full-time Chief of Staff to bridge across ALL personal and professional affairs?
I provide strategic-level support to ultra-complex families that need right-hand partnership across all facets of personal and professional life.
If your family system includes an active business or philanthropy, I can help coordinate your executive office, while ensuring that your family's priorities are well-managed across home, family, education, health, finances, and business affairs.
If you need a higher degree of exceptional wrap-around support, let's talk about what's possible.
