 Miki Saxon, CEO, founder of RampUp Solutions and co-creator of Option Sanity™ (www.optionsanity.com), the only values based incentive stock allocation program that maximizes motivational stock, while creating a laser focus on the company's goals. Economical SaaS drives performance, predicts dilution; audit trail for security, one-click reports save time and much more.
She is the talent behind Clarity REwriting, a service that edits and rewrites web content, executive summaries, presentations marketing material, etc, so they convey information in ways that meet the needs of today's readers.
Miki writes MAPping Company Success and has coached startup executives on their cultures and communication skills for more than a decade.
She uses a system she developed called MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy)™ that's predicated on the belief that every outcome starts with a thought, so "To change what they do, change how you think™"
MAP is the result of more than 25 years of successful recruiting during which she developed an in-depth understanding of the bottom line impact of employees who are turned on—and off. Miki distilled that knowledge into the framework called MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy)™ that helps leaders build better cultures and achieve stronger results.
In 2003, she shifted from consulting to a virtual coaching model to accommodate both her clients preferences and a move to southern Washington State.
