Kind Words

We love helping our clients! Read what they have to say about us.

“Sonita has been an invaluable partner through multiple seasons of my business — from strengthening our marketing to supporting my leadership. When things felt chaotic and I had lost clarity, she helped me step back and see the path forward. Thanks to our work together, I was able to successfully transition leadership, set the Board up for success, and fully step away.”
Founder and Former Board President, Logos Academy
"As a start-up with investor expectations for a quick ramp up, I was focused on selling and fulfilling business. Sonita guided us to put in the infrastructure we needed to scale. It provided us great comfort knowing she was focused on the systems that helped our talent feel more connected to our projects, organization, and the way we operated. Personally, she was the outside voice I needed to consider important things about our business I would have missed."
Scott Gillum, Founder and CEO at Carbon Design
"Sonita has helped me make better leadership decisions. She’s masterful at interpreting organizational dynamics and uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface. I always leave our conversations feeling lighter and clear about how to move forward."
Vice President, National Policy & Research Organization
"Sonita helped me look at things from a different perspective for what I needed to do as a leader to take my team and my business to the next level. We didn't just look at micro things or macro things; it was a blend of both and how I could do these in stages, which was really helpful."
Melissa Froehlich, Business Growth Strategist and Mindset Coach
"Having a Strategic Success Roadmap and accountability sessions with Sonita I feel more confident and better able to lead and prioritize my time. My personal life is better and my professional life has gotten more organized. And I am able to delegate in a more efficient way."
Business Owner, Private School and Non Profit

Hi, I’m Sonita.

As First by Five’s Chief Encouragement Officer and Lead Consultant, I understand the struggle to lead because I’ve walked in your shoes. As a team leader for 18 years in the corporate and non-profit worlds, I found the greatest roadblocks to leading well were a lack of clarity, putting the wrong people in the wrong roles, miscommunication, and unhealthy cultures that prevented people from being – and performing – their best. 

Working with service-based organizations for the last five years, I found them frustrated by similar challenges. Having a clear vision, investing in their leadership, and cultivating a people-first culture helped them overcome these challenges to build smiling and successful teams that are growing their businesses faster. I want to help as many leaders as possible experience that. Because the opportunities and value created by leaders like you change people’s lives. And because people in your position have to fight higher than usual levels of stress and burnout.

I left the corporate world after burning out from making too many destructive work-life trade-offs. That’s why I’m passionate about helping you build your business without burning out. We owe it ourselves, our loved ones,  and the people we serve to do so.
