"One of the smarter business decisions I've made in building my agency is hiring Emily Ward of Higher Key Consulting. We met Emily at a critical point in our life cycle, when we needed a significant lift to stay on track to meet my goals for the company. Emily worked with me to think through the mechanics of adding a new set of services, and she also equipped me with a set of tools to enable better forecasting and resourcing. She is truly outstanding."
