Introducing ~ Rysing Tide

Does anyone else feel like they still don't know what they want to be when they grow up? Being interested in a lot meant I found it hard to identify that one thing that was my true calling. I've always believed that I had more to give the world than I was giving, but I felt blocked from knowing what I was "meant" to do. I sensed the answer was close, but it was always in the shadows of my mind, just out of sight.  

What resulted was a feeling that I was not succeeding even when I was by many measures. I was directionless and accepting of situations I shouldn't have been.  

I've discovered I've been using the wrong definition of success.

I realized that success isn't found in a title or a pay packet, working for a big recognizable brand, or external recognition. Real success is walking in alignment with your true self, where you feel inspiration and joy in your work and how you do it. Your values are not compromised, and you like the person you are as you do it.

Rysing Tide is the vehicle for me to enjoy real success, as I define it.  

So what is Rysing Tide? 

Rysing Tide is an idea, a concept, a value proposition, an intention, a promise. To myself. 

After leaving my last job in March 2021, I took a step back and asked myself a big and challenging question: "What am I 'meant' to be doing?" I spent months thinking about this, only to realize I had asked the wrong question. The question I should have been asking myself is, "What is my why?"

I looked back over my marketing and business career and thought about what had brought me the most joy? What was the common thing that fueled my fire? I realized that my "why" is to "unleash potential." I absolutely love helping people and businesses succeed. I am driven to witness them realize their full potential, to see them thrive. It always showed up in how I managed people and my passion for helping companies grow.

So that's what Rysing Tide is all about. Its mission is 'to unleash the full potential of the companies and people we partner with.'  

Essentially Rysing Tide is your thought partner to help grow and scale your business. We specialize in transformative growth strategies and leadership development to empower companies, teams, and individuals to thrive.

And the best part is that I love every day I get to do this work. I know it's cliched, but I don't view the people I work with as clients. I view them as partners. Together we work on everything from identifying their "why" right through to building a brand that will resonate with their target audiences.
