Amazing Business Owner.
Amazing Business Owner.
NOT A SUPERHERO.
Small business owners are incredibly hard workers. But amazing as you are, you can’t be the only person driving growth in your business. It’s not sustainable. And as a small business, you don’t have the luxury of letting team talent go untapped.
FIREPOWER is a proven, hands-on approach to harness the full scope of your team talent as direct contributors to successful, sustainable growth.
Go from owner-driven to talent-optimized.
Accelerate your growth and business value.
A catalyst for transformation. Maria Forbes and her team bring people-planning capabilities to the small business world, taking out all the jargon of how human data influences business and putting real context around how small business teams can make their best contributions to growth. As organizational roles are mapped and aligned, owners focus on realigning their time and energy with their business and cultivating new leadership that will carry the business into the future.
Converting human strengths, all of them, into business performance is a powerful fuel that works for small businesses. This type of People-Powered change ignites the full engagement of team strengths, allowing entrepreneurial business owners to take a breath and feel confident about who is on their team and how to optimize their efforts. FIREPOWER Team Foundations promotes growth that is doable and sustainable by the right people. The number of hats you have to wear as an owner— shrinks, the quality of your life – expands, and the exponential value of your workforce is in motion toward a shared vision of the future.
FIREPOWER Succession
PEOPLE-POWER YOUR BUSINESS VALUE.
When it comes to exit and succession planning, it’s important to know: The transferable value of your business is directly tied to how well it can run and succeed without you, the owner.
At FIREPOWER, we help business owners plan for a successful succession by transforming their business from owner-driven to team-driven. That means reshaping your owner role away from day-to-day operations, toward its most powerful influence on growth. At the same time, we begin the value-building transition of your people from job holders into business contributors, increasing the leadership and decision-making autonomy of your team.

“It was a perfect transition.”
“I had heard: ‘Plan to lose 10-15% of your clients’. We maintained our entire book of business! Succession was a huge part of Maria’s value.”
Don Settina, Founder & Former-Owner | Retire Right Financial Planning
“Maria brings immense value.”
“Consultant, sounding board, voice of reason and excellent ideas. She helped align our vision, build our ideal roles, and get the right team in place. Now we rely on her people and process skills to get important stuff done.”
