Productive Pressure LLC

CEO / M&A Advisor

VON BLUECHER, BLEA AND HUNKIN, INC.

I began my entrepreneurial career as a veterinarian specializing in racehorses

As a vet, I focused on helping my clients get peak performance from their horses. The name of my business, “Productive Pressure™,” came from finding the sweet spot: enough pressure to get fast - but not too much, so as to avoid injury.

As a business owner, I helped our practice grow to multiple seven figures, join forces with other practices, and eventually be acquired by a large aggregator.

Along the way, I earned an MBA and worked with many business owners. I spent hours poring over P&Ls and balance sheets.

I discovered that regardless of geography or size, all business owners had similar challenges.

Whether you are ready to sell your business now or thinking about moving on to your next adventure in the next few years, understanding the current value of your business is vital. 

Do you know what your business is worth? 

Knowledge is power and once you have this information you have options.

As an owner in my former business, we increased the value, grew it (through mergers and acquisitions), and sold it. Now I help others get the business outcomes THEY want.

Through consulting & coaching we work through a process:

TRIAGE: As I did when I was a doctor in my previous career, we start with, "Where does it hurt right now?" We address this first.

VISION: What do you want for yourself and your business? Clarity on your desired outcome will provide a framework for the rest of your decisions.

VALUATION: We always start with the end in mind, but we need to have a baseline so we know where you are today. A valuation of your business shows us which levers to pull to get the outcome you want. Once you have that information, I put on my expert hat and we apply best practices to reverse engineer a plan to get you there.

PLAN: Now that we have a roadmap, I put on my facilitator hat to help you implement the action steps - whether it's stabilize/grow/sell. We adapt as needed and this accelerates your progress and keeps you on track.

TRANSITION/SELL: At some point you will leave your business whether you want to or not. We include this eventuality in our plan so that whether you pass the business along to a successor, or sell it internally or externally, the transition will be as smooth as possible.

If any of the following apply to you:

* want to know the value of your business
* are ready to sell your business
* want to get your business ready to sell 
* want to grow your business through acquisitions
* think we may have other synergies we should discuss

If you are a CEO or senior leader struggling with poor results and unhealthy behaviors among your top team, READ THIS.

Your team is challenged by:
-Drama, gossip, blame, unhealthy conflict
-Competing for your attention and resources
-Not trusting each other and working in silos
-Confused about your vision, goals, and priorities
-Solving the same problems over and over
-No systems in place to hold each other accountable
-Too many unproductive meetings
-Too busy or distracted to create new ideas or products and services

If this is true, we can help you TRANSFORM your top team quickly with immediate results.  We have helped many leaders, just like:

-A manufacturing leader who helped teams row in the same direction for the first time in years
-A finance executive who was able to bring 750 employees along on a critical change in vision and plan
-An insurance leader who was able to conduct high-performing meetings almost immediately and would never go back to the old ways of working
-A global medical device leadership team who formed as a cohesive team in a few days with our coaching and facilitation - after floundering for 9 months
-An agriculture executive who organized a global team with shared clarity and alignment after 1 year of no results, low morale, and leader performance concerns
…and MANY more!

Here's how we can help you grow a high-performing leadership team - freeing up your time and energy to lead the way you always dreamed you would... leading a team that:

-Trusts one another, supports and collaborates without you facilitating
-Leads their own teams in the direction of your vision and goals
-Hosts high-performing meetings to solve problems and free up space for ideas, products, services
-Delivers better financial results
-Agrees on metrics to hold people accountable for behaviors and results
-Builds a culture of accountability and norms for high-performing behaviors

You truly CAN lead high performance. We bring our expertise and coach you and your team every step of the way!
