Gwen Bortner is a no-nonsense Operational Strategist and Business Advisor with an intuitive coaching mindset. She helps visionary female entrepreneurs achieve their most ambitious goals without the stress and overwhelm of trying to do it all on their own. Her approach comes from the belief that personal and professional success looks different for everyone, and most business owners waste time and energy trying to conform to outside expectations and definitions of success. From finance to IT, and small business operations to academia, Gwen has seen cookie-cutter strategies put organizations on the fast track to frustration, burnout, and eventually failure. Problem-solving is her zone of genius, and Gwen can quickly discern the root cause of issues, simplify systems and processes, then create the most direct path to any given solution.

— Have you ever been so sure of something only to gain a new perspective that challenges everything you thought you knew to be true? That happened to me earlier this year during a conversation with Tonya Kubo, our chief marketing and operations officer (you can call her the MOO 🐮). For years, I've run the Quarterly Tune-Up (QTU), a program designed to help business owners plan and achieve their goals. You’ve probably heard me talk about it. But when planning our October event, Tonya pointed...
