Building people and processes that turn vision into results

Coaching, training, and consulting for small businesses, nonprofits, and churches under $5M.

🏗️ The Problem We Solve

At Foundations Business Consulting, we build people and processes that turn vision into results.

Most organizations stall because:

  • Supervisors are overwhelmed and underprepared.

  • Systems are missing or inconsistent.

  • Owners and directors carry too much alone.

  • Execution gets stuck in the middle.

That’s where we come in.

Through our DISC360™ assessments, coaching, training, and consulting, we strengthen supervisors and operations leaders with the tools, confidence, and systems they need to succeed.

The result? Aligned teams, stronger execution, and real growth that lasts.

🔧 The Foundations Approach

We build from the inside out—strengthening operations through your people, systems, and culture.

Our work centers on two integrated programs:

🎯 The Supervisor Academy™

For supervisors, team leads, and day-to-day decision-makers.

Most supervisors are promoted without tools or training. The Supervisor Academy™ equips them with the clarity, confidence, and systems they need to succeed.

Through coaching, training, and DISC360™ assessments, we help supervisors:

  • Lead people and processes with confidence

  • Communicate expectations that stick

  • Handle accountability and conflict with clarity

  • Delegate with trust while maintaining control

  • Grow into leaders who execute consistently

⚙️ The Foundations Operating System™

For owners, directors, pastors, and boards who carry the operations hat.

Even strong supervisors need structure. The Operating System™ helps operations leaders build the systems and culture that sustain growth.

We guide you through a 7-pillar framework designed for organizations under $5M:

  1. Discovery – Identify leadership gaps and system breakdowns

  2. Strategic Planning – Translate vision into aligned priorities

  3. Operational Effectiveness – Build scalable day-to-day processes

  4. Cultural Enhancement – Align values with performance

  5. Talent Thrive – Develop leaders from within

  6. Tech Amplify – Use the right tools to support execution

  7. Excellence Sustained – Build rhythms that maintain momentum

We also tailor this work to specific contexts:

  • Nonprofits — governance and board development, strategic retreats, compensation and staff structure

  • Churches — ministry systems for children’s, life groups, worship, security, and assimilation

 

💡 How the Two Work Together

  • The Supervisor Academy™ equips frontline leaders to run the day-to-day.

  • The Operating System™ equips operations leaders (owners, directors, pastors, boards) to guide strategy and culture.

  • Together, they align vision with execution so growth doesn’t get stuck in the middle.

💡 Our Mission

To change the way business is done—from the inside out.

 

We equip supervisors to execute with confidence and support operations leaders to lead with clarity—so growth becomes sustainable at every level.

👥 Who We Work With

We work with mission-driven organizations—typically under $5M in revenue—who have vision but limited operational support.

  • Small businesses trying to grow without chaos

  • Nonprofits navigating growth and complexity

  • Churches managing staff, systems, and services under pressure

Our sweet spot? Helping the people responsible for making it work—even when their title isn’t “COO” or “operations leader.”

🧰 Who We Serve

  • Supervisors leading teams and managing the day-to-day

  • Operations leaders (owners, directors, executive pastors) who carry the operations hat

  • Boards and senior leaders shaping culture and strategy

👉 If you’re the one responsible for “how things get done,” you’re in the right place.

You were promoted… but not prepared. Now what?

Most supervisors are thrown into leadership with little more than a title and a team. No roadmap. No training. Just pressure to perform—and fear of messing it all up.

Through relatable stories, on-the-job mistakes, and guided coaching, Riley begins to transform—not by figuring it out alone, but by getting the support, clarity, and structure every leader needs.

You’ll discover lessons that help you:

  • Set clear expectations and hold people accountable

  • Communicate with confidence and reduce workplace drama

  • Delegate with trust—without losing control

  • Build a team culture that drives performance

  • Lead with calm, not chaos—even on your hardest days

This isn’t a theory book. It’s a real-world guide to becoming the kind of leader your team actually wants to follow.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need the right foundation.
