I’m Larah Leigh Ritchie
I’m a Micro-Enterprise Development Professional
This is my visual résumé.
It’s bullet point free.
I live here.
In a yurt.
I work here.
In the same yurt.
At BrainyFeet, I teach amazing people how to build a life they love by teaching them how to start & sustain a business they love.
To do this, I combine the mad skills I’ve curated over time.
Like business planning…
…instructional design…
…training, mentoring & public speaking.
I helped hundreds of low-income women start their own businesses as the Director of the only Women’s Business Center in Alaska.
Developed a nationally replicated micro-business development program for low-income women & women in transition.
Taught entrepreneurship, leadership, marketing, and project management at four different colleges & universities.
Created complex marketing communications strategies for a university admissions program and a venture-funded industrial start-up.
Plus a whole bunch of project management including…
a campus-wide database implementation
…and many corporate & community events.
Interested in my formal education?
I hold an AS in Computer Science
a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management
with a minor in Marketing
and an MBA with a focus on Entrepreneurship
I’m great at
Getting every one going the same way
Seeing the big picture
…breaking the journey down into reasonable steps
…creating big picture-focused processes.
I admit it. I’m a process girl.
…and making things that make sense of things.
But don’t take my word for it.
