Unlock satisfaction and impact in your lifestyle business
with Monique Allen
Growing a business often means bringing on staff. Scaling a business means adopting new strategies to amplify our best services.
Team building strategies, from recruiting & hiring to onboarding & training, can feel like a massive distraction to the small business owner, but without a systematized process and keen focus on people, it’s difficult to develop and retain lasting teams.
🛎. In this episode the "Gardener of People", Monique Allen, takes us backstage to help owners navigate the rough waters of running, growing, and scaling their lifestyle businesses.
About Monique
Monique Allen, Founder & Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, is a master creator, interactive employer, published author, and fierce industry advocate. In nearly four decades, she has witnessed the landscape trade become extremely popular and commoditized, which has eroded the sustainability of our landscapes while undermining our ability to feel satisfaction from them.
As the founder of the Life-Scape Method, a lifelong gardener, business developer, and educator, Monique has dedicated her career to reversing that legacy by creative alternative approaches and sharing actionable information to spread a positive message about how we can all improve our land, our lives, and our professional satisfaction through Life-Scaping and compassionate business building.
In addition to running her own 7-figure business and publishing her first book, STOP Landscaping, START Life-Scaping, Monique is also an active business coach, specializing in artisan branding, team building, curating a positive company culture, and succeeding as a woman in a male-dominated industry.
