Traci DeForge Launches Produce Your Podcast as another Side Business of her Business Consulting Firm
St.Simons Island, GA (PRWEB) July 19, 2016 -- Business consultant Traci DeForge runs multiple businesses of her own including her newest venture, Produce Your Podcast. Her ability to bring together the right team members to capitalize on trends while simultaneously holding both nearsighted and farsighted perspectives helps her achieve targeted results for her own enterprises, as well as those of her clients.
DeForge says, “When I spot a trend like the huge rise in podcast consumption, I see an opportunity. I feel it’s important as a consultant to own and operate diverse businesses so I remain in touch and hands-on in today’s ever-changing business climate.”
Businesses large and small hire consultant DeForge as an extension to their team to help develop innovative strategy and then turn it into a profitable reality. According to Harvard Business Review,only 8% of leaders are good at both strategy and execution. DeForge is one of those 8% with the ability to conceive the big picture vision while simultaneously deploying the systems and tactical actions required to execute on the overall implementation.
With a professional career spanning over 25 years, DeForge has worked as an integral part of the launch of hundreds of small businesses in addition to consulting on branding and business development strategy with large organizations like British Airways, Microsoft, and Weight Watchers International.
As a result of her strategy and execution, many of DeForge’s clients win regional and national awards.
Architect John P. Shackelford, Jr has a creative vision for classic spaces and a flair for launching and growing new businesses. He engaged DeForge to assist in launching Granny Pearl’s Kitchen, a company to honor his grandmother’s memory and the cookies she loved to bake for family and friends. With the help of DeForge, the brand has won both an ADDY for package design and GPK’s peanut butter cookies were named the official healthy gourmet snack for the 7th Annual Taste Awards.
Shackelford says, “Traci DeForge is a trusted advisor and I see her as a growth catalyst for all my companies. She is a professional that brings a fresh perspective and smart solutions to our blend of business challenges.” Shackelford’s other businesses include an interior design division and a retail store featuring home accessories.
Pathologist Kathleen Bates hired DeForge to map out a three-year transition from her career as a physician into becoming a full-time artist/business owner upon her retirement earlier this year. Under the guidance of DeForge, Bates published Christmas Birds, a coffee table book of original bird paintings paired with short meditations. Awards for Christmas Birds include 2015 USA Best Book Awards Finalist, 2015 National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist, and 2015 International Book Awards Finalist. In addition, Bates was nominated for the 2015 Georgia Author of the Year Award in the Specialty Book category.
