We love facilitators. Thanks to Saya and Mac & Cheese Productions for sharing this memory of your impactful facilitation at Catalyst Ranch! Cheers to much more of this!

Awwww, love this 9 years ago memory...

One of my favorite places to facilitate 😍 Catalyst Ranch

And one of my favorite income streams 😍

And one of the many times I felt "I made it! I'm a real business owner, doing business owner'y things" (Cause of how I got the gig -- referral -- and cause helloooo 👀 client) 🎉

And one of my favorite collaborators (Best Friend) 😍

And one of my favorite business practices — proud nepotism! 😍
Nothing I love more than rising to the top and bringing my people along with me.

And love that we're still Life of Yes℠ infusing offices via team-building and growing a positive workplace culture. 😍 (If YOU want us at your staff retreat, professional development, offsite ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/27vmdbfh )
