Genesis of Best of the Best

For a long time, I’ve been thinking about writing about the business leadership lessons I’ve learned at Slater Success. The Best of the Best captures the essence of how I view effective leaders scaling their businesses, or, better said, Lead Boldly, Scale Rapidly, Create Your Legacy.

First, a few words on how I got here.

Eighteen years ago, while I was still at Slater Graphics, my printing company, I envisioned the world ahead of me and a different future I desired for myself. After feeling as though I had hit a brick wall and crashed, I took a breath and began to see myself more clearly as an experienced, I hate to say, middle-aged business owner driven by a desire to pursue something I would love that is also lucrative.

I jumped into an exciting opportunity that would take me forward. As scary as it was, I changed my career at the age of 45. I developed my succession plan for transitioning out of my role as CEO of Slater Graphic. It was a precarious time, with two children who would be heading to college in the blink of an eye, and a Manhattan lifestyle that I enjoyed, as I prepared to enter a new and relatively unknown field. Back in 2007, the coaching and consulting landscape looked quite different from what we see today!  

I became certified as a business coach and founded Slater Success in 2008. I have never regretted this choice or looked back.  

Today, I run a business that supports my financial goals, lifestyle, and personal legacy vision. One that has set me on a journey of exploring the best of the best in what I call Visionary Leadership.

From the unexpected situations I’ve faced and the adaptations I’ve made over the years, combined with my can-do attitude and, yes, my stubbornness when it comes to striving for the best, I’m able to counsel clients on key principles. They constitute the process of seeing:

  • WHO they are,

  • WHERE they are,

  • WHAT they want to create for their businesses and themselves,

  • HOW to see opportunities they may never have imagined,

  • ... And get them implemented.
