Leah Zimmerman, Business and Leadership Coach, Stepping Stool Coaching

Just as a child uses a step stool to reach the bathroom sink, coaching helps clients reach a little farther than they can on their own. Coaching provides the stool, but the clients do all their own reaching.

Create a harmonious and prosperous life one conversation at a time- conversations that help you have a better relationship with yourself and your family and help you move forward in your creative work or business.

Break your habitual patterns and expand your capacity as a leader, a creator, and a relationship builder. The communication that got you here is not the same communication that will create the transformation you need to move your business forward.

Get help with communicating more powerfully. Learn how to better inspire, influence, and impact your team, audience, or stakeholders.

Leah is an expert communicator with training in resolving conflict. Through her training and experience in education, in theater, and in leadership, she has learned that it isn’t about what you say or how you say it, it is about who you are when you say it. She has always had something to say and has spent her life learning how to say things so people can hear them. Now she helps people do the same thing.

Leah is hosting an event on November 17th, 2021 on navigating difficult relationships. Visit Eventbrite to learn more and for tickets.

Joseph Lambert, Owner, Joseph’s Junk Removal

Joseph Lambert, Owner, Joseph’s Junk Removal

Dreamer. Trailblazer. Jesus follower. Eldest of 5. Junk ➡️ Dreams. Running on Rocket Fuel🚀. ATL native. Avid 🏈 & ⚾️ fan. Urban Cowboy. Krispy Kreme❤️. Joseph is a 20-year-old entrepreneur in the trash industry. His company, Joseph’s Junk Removal, is already approaching 1.5 million after just 2 years in business. The secret? Great people, relentless confidence, and hard work!

Joseph’s Junk Removal’s story really starts when Joseph was 12 years old (winter 2013). As his parents were finalizing their divorce, Joseph realized the challenge ahead for his mom as she would try to provide for him and his four younger siblings. In an effort to help, Joseph started mowing lawns and working in construction to cover his own expenses. As a result, Joseph was able to release some of the burden off his family and discovered a hunger for growing a business in the meantime.
[Spring 2016] As mowing lawns grew, Joseph was restrained by one huge limiting factor: he wasn’t old enough to drive a car. Crazy right?! To fix the problem, Joseph partnered with a friend (Sam) who was older and could drive. The business model was simple: Joseph handled customer service, marketing, and scheduling. Sam handled the transportation. It was dynamite!
[Winter 2017] Fast forward to age 16, Joseph had saved up enough money to buy a pickup truck. After meticulously scanning the used car market for 6 months, he found his dream truck: a beautiful red and white 1986 Ford F-150. Armed with American ambition and horsepower, Joseph fixed his aim on every odd job he could find in surrounding neighborhoods.
[Summer 2018] At age 17, Joseph made $1600 in 4 hours by removing a bunch of junk for a landscaping client. He couldn’t believe it! After completing the job, Joseph researched the junk removal industry and was blown away by the margins, simple process, and scalability potential. From this point on, he focused on junk removal.
[Spring 2019] By senior year of high school, Joseph’s junk hauling business “Highschoolers Hauling Junk” was growing rapidly. As he juggled work, football, and baseball, Joseph put classes on the back burner. Consequently, he ended up failing a crucial class necessary to earn a diploma. As a result, he stayed in high school an extra semester (while all his friends went off to college) to finish the class. Embarrassing right?! Little did he know, it was a blessing in disguise.
[Fall 2019] While Joseph finished the class, the junk removal business (now called “Joseph’s Junk Removal”) was booming! By now, he was convinced of the immense potential in junk removal. After a full power-point presentation, Joseph got the greenlight from his family to pursue it full-time after graduation.
[Summer 2021] Less than 2 years after Joseph “officially” graduated high school, Joseph’s Junk Removal has grown to 25+ employees and 5 trucks. In that time span, Joseph and his team have fallen on their faces a lot. Lessons have been learned (some the hard way). But ultimately, every challenge the team has faced has made them stronger and more equipped to conquer the future.
What’s the secret? Grit? Hard work? Determination? Yeah, those are all essentials. But, THE KEY for Joseph’s Junk Removal is the right people. Teamwork makes the dream work. With the right team focused on the right goal, anything is possible! As Joseph says, “it’s just a huge privilege to be a part of this team!”

Andy Kalajian of Fort Leadership, Dixie McCurley with Cherry Bekaert,  and Tanya Osensky of Osensky Law LLC (Family Business Radio, Episode 23)

Legal, accounting, and executive leadership development may be something business owners consider doing themselves, but host Anthony Chen’s guests on this Family Business Radio episode discuss when its time to get professional support to deliver faster and more reliable results. Andy Kalajian with Fort Leadership discussed how mindset impacts the success of a business, Dixie McCurley talked about the need for proactive expert accounting, and attorney Tanya Osensky discussed how properly written contracts are necessary for any business.

Andy Kalajian, Founder and President, Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting, LLC

Andy Kalajian, Founder and President, Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting, LLC

Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting, LLC is a Professional and Personal Development company that creates healthy corporate cultures by developing the personal and professional leadership capacity of the person. Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting, LLC believes that a healthy Corporate Culture benefits the business leader and the employee alike, and it enhances the customer experience.

The culture on the inside of a company is what the customer experiences on the outside of the company. That is the customer experience. But if this is true, why do so many employees feel that their corporate culture is not where it needs to be? Why do some employees describe their corporate culture as dysfunctional or even toxic? How does this dysfunction impact the customer experience? Furthermore, why do some business leaders when asked “how many employees work for you?” respond by saying, “about 1/2”!
Demographic studies indicate that in 5 years up to 75% of the employees will be millennials. That means that for a business leader to be able to attract and retain the best talent from the biggest pool of talent, the business leader must have a healthy corporate culture.

But if a healthy corporate culture is what the employer and the employee is looking for, what does a healthy corporate culture look like? How is a healthy corporate culture created? The answer is Leadership! Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting creates healthy corporate cultures through Leadership Development. Leadership development is all about Character. After all, when we talk about corporate culture, what we are really talking about is corporate character. Corporations are made up of people. And people bring their character to work. So, it only stands to reason that when a collection of people brings their collective characters to work, a corporate character or a corporate culture is created.

Fort Leadership and Sales Consulting, LLC is creating healthy corporate cultures.

Tanya Osensky
Tanya Osensky, Owner, Osenksy Law, LLC

Osensky Law’s business model is designed around being more cost-effective and efficient for clients. No fancy office space. No staff. No run-around. When you call Tanya, you get Tanya. Not a paralegal; not an administrative assistant; not a receptionist. You won’t be transferred among several people. You don’t have to explain things twice to someone else. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Osensky Law is different from other law firms because Tanya’s experience comes from working inside the business, rather than an outside law firm.  Unlike a traditional law firm, which is motivated to bill more hours by unnecessarily prolonging or over-complicating matters, Tanya’s focus is on providing business value to clients. Being a company’s in-house legal counsel gives a lawyer a unique insight into what kind of legal support a business wants and needs – not just technically correct legal advice, but strategic problem-solving.
