Empowering Leaders, 
Transforming Teams,
Building Success

Helping people become better leaders
and run their companies in a way that makes everyone work well together

You're the backbone of the economy, driving innovation, creating jobs, and making a difference in your community. But let's be real – it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Running a small business comes with its fair share of struggles, from managing cash flow to staying ahead of the competition.  

​

You want to build a thriving enterprise that stands the test of time, a legacy you can be proud of. But success isn't just about the bottom line; it's about making a difference, serving your customers with excellence, and creating a workplace where your team thrives.

​

On the surface, it may seem like your team is holding you back. They lack commitment, focus more on their own needs than the needs of the customer, and it's affecting your bottom line.  You're afraid to hold your team to a higher standard because you're worried they'll leave. You've invested time and resources into training them, and the last thing you want is for them to walk out the door. But internally, you know that settling for mediocrity is not an option. You want more for your business, for your team, and for yourself.

 

 Additionally, there is the burden of an unspoken expectation that you are going to know how to care for a team because you are so good at caring for clients. 

​

When it comes to wanting more from your team but being afraid of pushing them away, I feel your pain!  

 

Reach out today, and let's start writing the next chapter of your success story. Together, we'll unlock new possibilities, overcome challenges, and create a future where your business shines bright.

At the core of LINK services is the application of Transformational Leadership Theory.  Just as it sounds, transformational leadership theory (TLT) maintains that leaders - actually anyone - can transform themselves and the team around them to the next level of performance.  We believe that all people possess the capability to elevate areas of their life to the next level, transforming to achieve the best results.

​

Transformational leadership theory is a leadership style and model that focuses on inspiring and motivating followers to achieve their full potential and exceed their own expectations.

​

​This leadership style has been associated with numerous positive outcomes, including increased employee satisfaction, higher levels of organizational commitment, and improved performance.  This approach is centered on inspiring and motivating leaders to create positive change within their organizations.

Working with Jill is a real pleasure and so helpful. At our very first meeting, she gave us an assignment that revealed something important we had overlooked for four years. I appreciate Jill’s positivity and encouragement - and she knows what she’s talking about!  We sought Jill out for help in gaining clarity on steps to transition out of being a start up organization. She was great at listening, mining for details, and pointing us in the right direction. The accountability she provides is invaluable.

Michele, Executive Director

Jill knows well what she can offer a group, and also knows which type groups stand to benefit most from her abilities. Right off she starts the get-acquainted process by asking relevant questions and listening closely--and, oh yes, getting acquainted, because she wants to know who you are! Because of this, Jill uncovers organizational gaps in need of solutions--solutions she can then begin to address with a targeted approach to a specific group. We also appreciate that Jill respects others' time by making the most of meetings, following up with notable promptness, and keeping everyone accountable during the process. So..for those who are serious about working toward effective organizational change, Jill is someone we would recommend.

Working with Jill Valdez has definitely enhanced the success of my company, Arizona Grass Raised Beef. Due the rapid growth of my company, we were in need of multiple, specialized employees in a timely manner. Jill Valdez never missed a beat as she implemented her skills in this area of expertise. My company was able  to hire multiple employees that met our exact needs, continue to grow and prosper due to Jill's professional abilities.  I would highly recommend Jill Valdez and her team to fulfill any expectations you might have for your company's staffing needs.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jill Valdez for business consulting services. She is a seasoned leader having successfully served and guided individual and staff development with a commitment to advancing leadership excellence. Her keen grasp of leadership needs are the result of intuitive questioning and active listening.

Jill is approachable and knowledgeable across the leadership spectrum. While not prescriptive, she believes in leadership development through acquisition and adaptation of knowledge, skills, and ability. Jill is an unabashed champion and force multiplier of leaders whether titled or otherwise! 

I recommend Jill  fully and without reservation to support and further your personal or professional leadership advantage.
