Lead. And stay human.

Are you the automation?

It took a cold piece of pizza for me to realize, the biggest automation threat to my team wasn’t in technology…it was in my own detachment and automated impulses.

I was the one being automated - lead the call, make the report, send the direction. Answer the Slacks. Immediately. Whim of the Customer. Summon of our HQ. Text. Etc. On and on.

And oh my, that’s the worst kind of automation. To own the automatic impulse of a powerful female leader.

And somewhere in that automation, the truth gets lost and our north star for leading gets obscured.

Welcome to Obscura North Consulting!

Undoing automatic impulses to respond to the calls, emails, scrolls, texts..it takes time, babe.

Reconnecting home into yourself as a leader, your team, the vision of why you stepped into leadership in the first place…takes patience.

To recalibrate.

It takes silences. Messes. Senses. Visions. Sketches.

Obscura North offers an invitation to take that pause and unravel the programming of automation…together.

Leadership is a deeply human experience.

For over 20 years, our team has built, led, and turned a cumulative $100million profit for the fortune 500s, military industrial complex, and took notes in every boardroom.

We can build empires, lead epic teams, hold wild visions - and stay human but that means we can no longer overlook:

  • Burnout masked as success

  • Power hoarded instead of shared

  • Leaders with big wild hearts overriding their nervous systems to fit

  • Becoming automated ourselves

I kicked off my full-time corporate heels to step into something quieter, softer, and build a community of leaders dedicated to staying human in an ever-automating world.

Operational Energy Audit

Babe, you over-automated, lost touch with your operations team (or let the humans go)….and now you read, prompt, and organize your infrastructure too generically.

I come in, map every piece of software you pay for, and ruthlessly cut what destroys your operations experience while repositioning AI/automation/subscriptions that actually work (alongside the humans).

As long as the software automations you’re inviting into your critical operations infrastructure are positioned with the humans you’ve already got in your corner.

And you’ve taken a look at the energy lift to implement, adopt, and utilize software to best and highest.

Time back. Energy back. Team restored.
