Hello there! I’m Odette, the heart and soul behind the Business with Altitude Summit. I work with dreamers and doers – visionary business leaders, dedicated executives, and specialists who are not just chasing success but are hungry for meaning. I do this because I want to see a world where businesses thrive by being hubs of positive change, where every decision is a chance to make a difference.
You might call me a Business Alchemist, and honestly, I love that title. It’s about turning the everyday into something extraordinary, isn’t it? I hail from South Africa and now call Australia home – a journey that’s given me a kaleidoscope of experiences and perspectives. So, what does a Business Alchemist do? I take the raw, unpolished parts of businesses, churches, and individual aspirations and turn them into gold. It’s about crafting strategies that don’t just work on paper but bring about real, vibrant change. I blend my love for business growth with my skills in Six Sigma and customer experience, all seasoned with a dash of consciousness coaching. But it’s not all strategy and no heart. I’m here to be your mentor, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. Why do I wake up every morning excited to do what I do? Because I believe in the magic of transformation. Seeing a business or an individual unlock their true potential is exhilarating.
If you believe that business can be a force for good that sees the value in marrying profit with purpose, then we’re already on the same page. My clients are those brave souls who dare to dream of a business that’s as much about impacting lives as it is about the bottom line. It’s not just about changing businesses; it’s about changing lives, crafting legacies, and building a future we can all be proud of. Let’s not just grow businesses; let’s grow lives and nurture leaders who’ll change the world.
I know the future is bright. All we need to do is build a big enough community of like-minded visionaries, and we’ll be able to move mountains. If you’d like to join the movement and create magic in your life and business, it all starts over on my Substack. I will share insights on sustainable business practices, growth mindset, emotional intelligence, team building, overcoming challenges, and the use of technology to enhance customer experiences and productivity.
