Welcome to Little Black Desk Society

Providing Leadership & Operations support for teams in service-based small businesses.

Welcome

I created this community to bring you together with team members of small businesses who are committed to excellence.

Members who understand how their role impacts the team's performance, company culture, client experience, and industry standards.

I've held leadership positions for over 20 years in multiple industries and in non-profit organizations. Many times when we're promoted we lack the support needed to excel in our role and serve others well. 

Together we can change that by creating a support system. Join me as we share experiences so we can learn together to lead with excellence!

Shine Bright,
Melissa

Designed for Conversations Not Broadcasts

A few things you’ll see quickly that make this community different:

  • It's Created with Intention. The primary feed is similar to a public blog except curated and more dynamic. You will find resources shared as quick posts and longer thoughts or how-tos shared as articles.

  • There are More Ways for You to Meet Each Other. There are more ways for you to meet leaders who care about the same topics. 

  • We Can Bring Together Content and Community. This means I’m freed up to bring you new, fresh ideas and new practices that you can take into your daily life.

What You Can Expect

To have an excellent experience. I want you to get 5 key things from this community:

  • Get curated content and conversations with a weekly round-up of headlines and how they connect to your business.

  • Meet team members who share your interests who live near you, who do the same things, or who care about the same topics.

  • Make better, more well-informed decisions about the things most important to you. 

  • Swap stories, experiences, resources, and ideas (not necessarily advice) around our shared mission, to lead with excellence.

  • Find inspiration, thought-provoking conversations, and new perspectives each and every day.

Every time you contribute a story, experience, or idea, you’re building a small business knowledge base every member of this community can tap to make better decisions.
