What if we could help people get out of the weeds to focus on what’s important?

Out of the Weeds Consulting was founded by Jim Ransier with the premise that a lot of amazing leaders in business get buried in the weeds and day-to-day minutiae of work. Having come from the start-up world, Jim excelled at juggling the volume and variety of work on any given day. He learned that the speed of a start-up is a mindset and being able to toggle across many departments of an organization is a skill, both of which many growing organizations need. Most importantly, many leaders know what they want to do for their business but lack the time needed to really execute the vision. That’s where Jim decided he could help the most.

Our goal is to be both “do-ers” and “thinkers”

Consulting shouldn’t be someone sitting in a conference room telling you what you already know. It should be someone doing the work as much as leading the conversation. That’s the life of a start-up too, each person having full autonomy over the strategy, tactics and execution.

Think of us like Mary Poppins: she dropped in on the wind, immediately created sustainable structure & systems, fixed the underlying problems and created lasting personal relationships with leadership and her team. That’s what Jim loves to do for work and that’s why Mary Poppins is his role model.
