Create a relationship with your business that is fun, meaningful, and in service to the world you want to live in.

Running a business can be overwhelming.

Finances can be stressful and confusing.

And all too often, it is more lonely than you might have expected.

Which is why I created The Queer MBA (Meaningful Business Approach)

This 3 month cohort - or Growhort, rather - will support you to find more ease with your business (and life)!

Burnout, distraction, and negative self-talk are so common for small business owners.

Add in the desire and commitment to make a difference, and to do things differently (I see you magical queer being!). This whole dream might be starting to feel impossible.
So often big hearted visionary leaders take the leap to self employment only to find themselves facing new and unfamiliar challenges.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

That's where the Queer MBA comes in...

By going on this adventure with a group of committed queer small business owners (your GrowHort), the experience will be educational, empowering and connecting.

As a small business owner, you have to do a lot of things yourself, but you don’t have to do it all alone.

"Wow, I not only got exactly what I hoped for but had so many unexpected wins throughout The GrowHort. I feel prepared for my parental leave and so does my new hire! Both the group coaching and 1:1 sessions with Slam have been really eye opening."

"Slam is an incredibly caring, thoughtful, heartfilled and enthusiastic coach. I really felt like they were on my team throughout our time working together. They gave clear exercises, tools and imagery that gave me insight on how to work on the emotional and logistical challenges of being a small queer business owner. I feel more confident and clear on my next steps and very highly recommend Slam!"

"Slam has a way of making even the most dreaded biz dvlpt tasks into something accessible, playful, and soulful. Her social and emotional fluency has helped me to see business development as part of my personal growth journey. The QueerMBA was a perfect container for taking clear steps towards building a more stable and integrated business. I loved workshopping shared challenges, celebrating wins, and having an empathic and brilliant group to take this journey with."

Frequently Asked Questions

When do we start?

The next QueerMBA will start when we have 4-6 folks who have applied and are ready to go!

When do we meet?

Once the group is formed, you will meet with your GrowHort on either Wednesdays at 9:30am or Thursdays at 10:30 am. Each group meets every other week. During your off week, you are encouraged to watch the independent recordings and complete the activities.

What do the live coaching sessions look like?

Your GrowHort will meet live, every other week for 90 minutes in your small group for live group coaching. Your small group will be composed of other inspiring small business owners at complimentary phases of their business. You can bring questions, challenges, and your presence to discover, gain insights, and take action on what is most important to you!

Who else is in the room?

Badass queer small business owners. Groups will be formed based on the stage and type of business so that members complement, support, and inspire each other. This will probably be the best part of the course:)

Will the sessions be recorded?

Yes, if you miss a live group coaching session you can catch up by watching the recording. If you are being coached and wish to not be recorded, you can ask for the recording to be paused at anytime.

Each Module includes recordings with small business content, relevant activities, and independent learning time so you can grok the curated information.

How do I know if this is right for me?

This program might be right for you if:

You are a small business owner with a viable service or product (sales might be low, but the people who buy your service/product really like it)
You are queer (or business-queer, queer adjacent, or re-inventing a new world through your business)
You have a few messy systems (onboarding new clients, retention, inconsistent sales/income, inconsistent money tracking), and want to bring your business into the next level of stability
You are clear on your path as a business owner (or clear enough to reignite it in this group) and excited to meet more small business owners

This program is not for you if:
