You ever ask yourself "why would they do it like this?" when working with a program, service, company, group, product? Or how about "This feels wasteful" "I feel like theres a better way" "This leaves so much room for error" "If this wasn't so tedious, I'd have done it better, faster, more consistently" ... Me too.

As a business owner for over 15 years I have had to create systems that avoid an employee, contractor, partnership, customer feeling the frustration of the above quotes, because beautiful systems create beautiful workflow or end user experience. Not many companies hire the right person(s) to make this happen. It takes a unique mind to get this done; one that is able to oscillate back and forth between left and right brain to get the right recipe, and then have the patience and tenacity to go back, have a taste and adjust the "operational seasoning" to get the system just right.

This can be done fairly well with a person that is organized and pretty smart but it's done exceptionally well when someone is just flat out gifted at it. We are not all "naturals" at creating workflow for other people. We are not all naturals at diving deep into the mechanics of automation. We don't all have a sharp antenna for catching signals of disorder. Yuri does.

Yuri is so sharply tuned into efficiency, it's like a 6th sense. I a member of a leadership team in which Yuri is in charge of operations and systems management, I have watched her cut our administrative labor in half, in less than a year. Let me repeat that - she has cut our administrative labor in half. Because of this, I am able to amplify the effects of the role I was hired for, giving the customer 50%-100% more of what they paid for, and leading to better sales results.

Yuri is not afraid of creating something from scratch, she does not stick to only what she knows (which is a lot). She synthesizes creativity and logic to make solutions that are the best fit for the situation and it works every time. She does this with grace, patience, and a sense of humor. But she also takes a no-nonsense approach. She is able to galvanize a large group of very busy people to get information and participation. Yuri is a giant value ad to any organization; a guaranteed positive ROI.

Yuri is a dedicated, high-achieving, loving genius. She whips up systems in no time and spots areas that need care and attention before anyone else. She has a solution for everything, even for you thing you hadn't clocked yet. You know that closet where everything is a mess and you've refused to open the door for months because it's way too overwhelming? Yuri is that feeling you get when that closet's finally been cleaned and reorganised. Yum.

Bringing Yuri onto our small team has been such an essential piece of launching our business! My business partner and I are both visionary creatives with ADHD, and were in need of someone who could help us organize the beautiful chaos of our vision. Yuri came in and immediately took all the raw pieces we shared, and created a beautiful and intuitive organizational system that supported us to identify and prioritize what to do to bring our vision to life. Within two months of working with Yuri and web designer, we have a beautiful website, an automated email system, an ever more organized backend to track the multiple pieces of our project, and a lot of fire under us! Yuri listens deeply and is responsive to our needs. If any part of the system didn't feel easy for our brains, Yuri immediately came up with something better suited for us. She asks great questions and has a real sense of time management, systems development, and how to move from point A to point B. She's flexible and multi-faceted, while also being clear in her boundaries, skillset, and communication, which helps us know what to delegate to her and where to contract out. She is also a delightful human and brings energy to our team that is warm, grounded, enthusiastic, and professional. If you're in need of an organizational whiz, I highly recommend Yuri!
