Audra noted that over the past decade, Tallahassee has been developing pathways to retain local talent and support small businesses. Through programs that help startups and entrepreneurs thrive, the city continues to strengthen the region’s skills and economic value.
She mentioned that her clients typically face obstacles such as business growth challenges, team management issues, strategic planning difficulties, and mindset blocks that can slow progress.
