The Up-Ward Shift was founded by Dr. RJ Willis specifically to bring doctoral-level, clinically informed leadership consulting to organizations that typically can't access that kind of expertise, including small businesses. Most consultants with this level of training gravitate toward enterprise clients who can afford extended, high-cost engagements, leaving small business owners to choose between generic business coaching and no leadership support at all.As a leadership consultant for small businesses, Dr. Willis works directly with founders and small leadership teams, bringing the same trauma-informed, clinically grounded approach used in larger engagements but scaled to fit a smaller organization's structure, budget, and pace. This isn't a watered-down version of enterprise consulting; it's a model built from the ground up around what small businesses actually need, which often looks different from what a Fortune 500 leadership team requires.Small business leadership comes with its own specific pressures: a founder often serving as CEO, HR director, and individual contributor simultaneously, a leadership team with far less room to absorb a bad hire or a blind spot in judgment, and limited bandwidth to attend lengthy training programs built for larger organizations. Dr. Willis's consulting approach accounts for all of this directly, focusing engagements on the highest-leverage leadership gaps rather than a broad curriculum that assumes unlimited time and staff.
