She’s excited to bring her passion, experience, and industry knowledge to Gold Medal Business—helping you elevate your performing arts school to the next level!
"We’ve introduced a lot of new systems, delegated things to staff differently, etc. It’s completely changed my outlook on my business. I’ve been able to be less ‘in it’ and work in it more. "
Lauren, Dance West
"Katie got
me to go way back to basics, i.e. enrolling customers properly, nurturing them, and getting the staff in. Even just with the basics, new members are coming in and things are going really well."
Joleen, Cheerleading Club
"Since I’ve been working with Katie, I’ve got a lot more structure
to how I’m doing things. I’ve got very clearly defined areas of the business. Because of that, I’m using my time a lot better and I know what my focus is each day."
Jamie, Hoop Heroes
"These weekly calls, groups, and accessible training, is what has really kept me and my business going. I know there are a lot of other courses out there, but a specific course on children’s activity businesses was exactly what I was after and I would definitely recommend it.”
