It began in December 2013, where I took the leap of faith in my God-given gift of entrepreneurship.  I took my education, corporate experiences and grit and turned my focus to helping independent, boutique-style businesses with the development of Jarvis Consultants, LLC.

December 2022 marks the 9th anniversary of Jarvis Consultants, LLC registering with the state of Connecticut as a business.  Happy Birthday, Jarvis Consultants!

My career was founded in publicly traded and large companies.  I always felt thankful and lucky to work at companies that let me develop my own unique role.  It was an awesome privilege to add on what was lacking; and, what I thought would contribute most to growing and moving each company forward.  What I did not know at the time was that it was not necessarily the company that allowed me to do it.  It was me.  My sheer determination to transform the results through innovating and looking at each situation from an entrepreneur’s perspective versus a corporate employee’s perspective made the difference.

I (was) am thankful for these experiences because each time I innovated and developed something new it pushed me to recognize the entrepreneurial spirit inside of me.  My corporate career showed me the professional I was and wanted to continue to be:

• Original and Authentic

• Different and Innovative

• Forward-Thinking

I wanted to take all of these valued characteristics and present them in my business dealings with freedom and couple it with my love of marketing.  Jarvis Consultants offers the following services and more.

• Manage complex and multi-faceted projects from the beginning to the end

• Identify, research and implements new revenue streams

• Creates C-suite level reciprocal collaboration opportunities

• Representation of your brand when you need independent contract support.

• Advisor to small business owners

As an entrepreneur, I have continued to grow professionally and personally over these past nine years; specifically, in my ability and capability in becoming a Thought Leader & Industry Expert; covering topics like:

• Marketing

• DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion)

• Retail

• e-Commerce

And a Book Author, having written and or contributed to the following books:

• Pandemic Blessings

• Mentoring Moments

• Mindful Minutes

There are numerous and various consulting firms.  What makes Jarvis Consultants different?  Jarvis Consultants is different because of my unique approach with each client and how I manage each project with the goal of creating original innovative solutions from typical services like:

• Developing Content & Delivering Connections

• Re-inventing marketing approaches

• Identifying new business opportunities that are sustainable

• Create Long-term sustainability with programs and partnerships

• Producing High-performing results while increasing the customer experience

It is clear to all of us that time stops for no one and sometimes I have to pinch myself because I cannot believe it has been nine years since Jarvis Consultants was established.  I say it all the time, I am grateful, thankful and blessed.   "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:12-13.

Happy 9th Anniversary, Jarvis Consultants! Cheers to many more!
