“Working with Lee has completely changed my approach to marketing. Having never worked in coffee before, I had no idea how the industry worked from the inside, and had no idea how to go about approaching coffee shops and roasters to stock my products.

I really dedicated my time to understand what these challenges might be in order to avoid them but little did I know that each experience is different and there surely isn’t a manual that can prepare you for embarking on a new venture.
Read MoreI attended Lee's Coffee Consultant Mastermind Group in Spring 2021. From the beginning, Lee was personable, encouraging, honest, and insightful. She made sure to get to know each attendee individually, thus making the group experience feel personalized. I truly felt like I had an instructor who knew me, my coffee career, and where I wanted to go.
Read MoreTo be part of the Entrepreneurship and Life Currencies Mastermind group has been a great privilege. When I first enrolled I did not know what to expect. I had my ideas, however, what I received in return was much more than what I expected.
Navigating myself into uncharted territory was something that I had longed for but never understood how to do. With Lee captaining the ship, she has guided my fellow group members and me, on how to understand the map that has been given to us so that we could have the courage to do what was necessary to achieve all that we had set out to do, only to gain much more than originally planned.
Read MoreWhat would Lee say? What would Lee do?"
These are the questions I regularly ask myself since I started working with Lee & MAP IT FORWARD (MIF).
Working with Lee & MIF has been invaluable for helping me to build my business. I had no idea how much I would learn - not only about myself but also the tools needed to position a business for success. As I continue to grow & learn, Lee provides experience, inspiration, motivation & direction. Lee's insight into starting a business, building a business, forecasting global trends and their impacts is incredible.

So far our particular group has been a place for us to workshop ideas and then watch them flourish into real business outputs. For some group members, this has coincided with record profit months for their businesses, the birth of new brands/business teams, and life-changing personal decisions which we have shared together.”
“MIF Mastermind group is a community of people who are in pursuit of excellence at every level of leadership and business. Each session is full of laughs, heartfelt stories, and everyone leaning into the spirit of going above and beyond what we thought possible. When we resources are limited, creativity is needed all the more, and we are in a global season of limitations, in which Lee has risen to the occasion and delivered a unique and pivotal opportunity for all of us to be part of in a crucial community of diverse thinkers, business people and action takers in the coffee industry”

There was so much information out there and every time something new came out we had to try it and if the coffee world was in agreement with it, we agreed too. There was not much questioning about it. I was certain that we needed training if we wanted to grow as coffee professionals, but I wasn’t sure as to where to look for it and if it was the right one for us.”
