Know exactly what to do next, and have the structure to make it happen
SERVICES
For rounders ready to map their year and build the operational structure that removes overwhelm, reduces decisions, and supports both the business and the person running it.
They want fewer decisions, a clear plan, a workable structure, systems that make their day-to-day more manageable, and a qualified partner to help them think, decide, and build.
That’s why we start with The Strategic Mapping Sprint™. We map your year, clarify your priorities, and decide what goes now, what waits, and what no longer belongs on your plate.
Then, if we keep working together, we move into The Momentum Partnership. Here, I help you turn that plan into something you can actually run with cleaner operations, smarter systems, clearer priorities, and a way of working that doesn’t burn you out.
The women I work with are incredible at their work, but exhausted by everything that comes with it.
Two ways to work together
- A 12-month strategic map that shows you where you’re going and why
- Clear priorities so you know what matters now, later, and not at all
- Decisions made about what to focus on, and what to stop carrying
- A CEO dashboard where your plan actually lives
- Immediate relief from mental overload and second-guessing
The Sprint answers one question: “What should I be doing?”
It’s for the woman who knows she’s capable of more, but doesn’t have a clear, grounded plan to work from.
- Operational systems built with you, in real time
- A 90-day execution plan installed into your actual tools
- Ongoing decision support as priorities shift and real life happens
- Leadership and capacity support, so momentum doesn’t come at your expense
- A way of working that becomes sustainable
The Partnership answers a different question: “How do I actually follow through on this without burning out or doing it alone?”
It’s for the woman who already has a plan (often from the Sprint) and wants support while she turns that plan into a business that runs smoothly.
Most clients begin with the Strategic Mapping Sprint™ to get clear, then move into the Elegant Efficiency Partnership™ so the plan doesn’t stall once real life resumes.
The Sprint creates direction.
The Partnership creates traction.
The Sprint gives you the map, and the Partnership walks beside you while we build the roads.
How they work together:
Operations that don’t depend on you being “on” 24/7
A weekly operating system you can sustain
Systems that reduce decision fatigue
A strategic plan that matches your real capacity
With 20+ years in operations, an MBA, and experience leading complex systems at the institutional level, I bring the strategic focus of a COO with the human-first lens women actually need to sustain success.
After working together, you’ll have:
A business that feels organized, predictable, and stable
“Carina is engaged and intelligent in a way that makes you feel immediately supported. Before working with her, I was stuck and feeling despondent.
Our session felt like a real conversation focused on the goal instead of the overwhelm.
My advice if you’re considering working with Carina: be open and honest. It makes all the difference. I left our time together feeling relieved and hopeful, with a clear plan of action I can actually implement.”
“Carina is warm, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable.
Before working with her, I felt confused, conflicted, and unsure. She set the stage clearly at the start, asked powerful questions that got us moving forward, and gently challenged my negative self-perception.
Come prepared to learn, unlearn, and relearn on the journey toward your coaching goals. I left our session with a plan I can implement immediately to help me achieve mine.”
FAQs
Yes. The Sprint is where we map your year, set priorities, and build the foundation your systems will rest on. Without that clarity, the Partnership would be implementation without direction, and that’s not how we work here.
Yes, your OBM or VA can only manage what already exists. My work gives them a clear plan, defined workflows, and an operating system so their work becomes more effective. Many clients bring their OBM into the Partnership so we can build systems that everyone can follow.
Asana, ClickUp, or Trello… whichever platform fits how your brain works. We build inside YOUR chosen tool, so it becomes the home base for your priorities, projects, decisions, and weekly CEO focus.
- Want a done-for-you solution without participating in the thinking or decision-making
- Aren’t willing to adjust how you currently work
- Want a coach who gives hype instead of structure
- Are looking for general business advice rather than operational design
- This work requires true partnership
Both because they’re inseparable. Your systems won’t work if they ignore your energy, your responsibilities, or the season of life you’re in. I look at the whole picture, including your capacity, your workload, your support, and the way you naturally operate. We build structure that fits you, so the business becomes easier to run.
Because an OBM manages what already exists, this partnership designs what needs to exist. An OBM needs established workflows, clear SOPs, a functional operating system, and defined priorities. If those aren’t in place, there’s nothing to manage.
This work comes first, so your OBM (now or later) can step into a business that’s already organized, structured, and ready to run.
At Ilza&Co., we integrate three elements that are often separated: strategy, implementation, and high-performance coaching. We work on the goals you are moving toward, the processes required to support those goals, and the leader responsible for carrying them forward.
As a certified high-performance coach, my focus is not just on what you are building, but on how you are leading while you build it. That includes decision-making, boundaries, energy management, and the habits that determine whether a plan holds under real pressure.
In this service, you’re working with a certified Director of Operations with 20+ years of experience designing systems at scale, applied to the business you’re building now.
