Organizational Rebel We help companies with a growth mindset leverage human capital to build sustainable businesses. In short, “we help people fall in love with the work they do.”

We help our clients close the gap between their current and desired states through an innovative, results-based process, grounded in proven methods. Our proprietary Rebel-Results Method (TM) starts with the P6 Assessment, a tool that looks at People, Processes, Practices, Promotions, Productivity & Profit. Then based on the results we provide a roadmap to close the gap based on the priorities of t

he organization. Organizational Rebel™ takes a different approach to workforce effectiveness. Dr. Barbra Portzline, an organizational intuitive, has studied the strategies used by people who have been successful in the workplace, who have beaten the odds, who have rebelled against bad behavior and have achieved fulfilling and meaningful careers. Our company applies these approaches in a rigorous systematic process to address current concerns of business owners and leaders. This, in turn, results in straightforward, no nonsense strategies that business leaders can use to improve people, practice and productivity in the workplace.

Everyone say Hi to Erin Watts!

Erin is the kind of person who can look at a complicated project, a million moving pieces, and a slightly chaotic inbox and somehow make it all make sense. With 10+ years of experience across nonprofit, healthcare, education, and business, she’s built her career around keeping people, projects, and programs moving forward.

From coordinating statewide trainings and managing events to wrangling schedules, organizing resources, building systems, and keeping teams on track, Erin is at her best behind the scenes making sure all the details are handled and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

She’s a natural problem-solver, a research nerd, a systems thinker, and an excellent communicator. She knows how to take a big idea and turn it into an actual plan, while keeping the people involved informed, supported, and (mostly!) sane along the way.

Erin also brings a strong mix of creativity and strategy to her work. She’s currently a Program Coordinator with the University of New Mexico and has served as Executive Assistant to the CEO of Organizational Rebel since 2024.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and believes good support isn’t just about checking boxes……it’s about anticipating needs, finding better ways to do things, and helping great ideas actually happen.

When things get tough, your team doesn’t need another motivational speech. They need clarity, communication, and a leader who can stay grounded when everything feels uncertain.

The best leaders don’t pretend things are easy. They acknowledge what’s happening, communicate honestly, listen to their people, and give their team something they can actually move toward.

Because motivation isn’t about keeping everyone positive all the time.

It’s about helping your people understand why the work matters, where you’re going, and how they fit into the bigger picture.

Strong leadership doesn’t disappear during challenging times, it matters more than ever.

Your team is watching. How are you showing up? Learn more about how Organizational Rebel can support your business at www.organizationalrebel.com or email [email protected] .

Meet Yvonne Wolf!

Yvonne is the person leaders call when strategy isn’t working in practice, and when the organization hasn’t quite figured out who it is yet. She doesn’t write recommendations and walk away. She works alongside leaders, building the muscle while solving the problem.

​A four-time CHRO, board advisor, and operator, she brings experience locally and globally, from Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and start-up ventures, and turns it into systems that actually hold up under pressure. No theory. No binders. Just people, culture, and organizational practices leaders can use to execute strategy and sustain results.

​Her work sits where strategy usually breaks down: decision-making, leadership behavior, how work really gets done, and who gets to do it. She helps organizations align these in real time, so strategy gets executed, innovation is unlocked, and change isn’t resisted.

​Yvonne has led and advised through moments that demand both ex*****on and adaptability, CEO transitions, global integrations, rapid growth, and organizational resets. Across every setting, her focus is the same: build capability while doing the work, so results don’t depend on her presence.

​She asks the questions others avoid, gets to root causes quickly, and works in a way that leaves people and organizations stronger, not dependent. Because if the work only works while she’s there, it didn’t work.

​She builds the organizational muscle that turns strategy into action and keeps it happening.

It’s easy to assume a program, process, or strategy is working because it feels like it is. But what if the data told a different story?

Instead of relying on trial and error, why not measure what’s actually happening?

At Organizational Rebel, our research and evaluation team can help you design a study to measure the effectiveness of your programs, identify what’s working (and what isn’t), and even determine your Return on Investment (ROI).

Because better decisions come from better data, not guesses.

Most workplace problems that show up as “performance issues” are actually communication issues in disguise.

When expectations are unclear, when feedback is avoided, or when people don’t feel safe speaking honestly, teams don’t fall apart loudly, they drift apart quietly. Misalignment builds, frustration grows, and people start making assumptions instead of asking questions.

Strong communication isn’t just about being clear. It’s about being consistent, direct, and willing to have conversations that might feel uncomfortable in the moment but prevent much bigger problems later.

Trust is built in the day-to-day interactions: how feedback is given, how decisions are explained, and whether people feel heard when they speak up.

If communication breaks down, everything else gets harder than it needs to be.

When people think about growing a business, they often focus on getting more clients. But growth isn't just about bringing in more work. It's about building a business that can actually support it.

If every decision depends on you, every problem lands on your desk, and every vacation feels impossible, you've built a business that's working because of you, not for you.

Sustainable growth comes from creating clear systems, empowering your team, and making intentional decisions that support your long-term vision. It isn't always the most exciting work, but it's the work that creates freedom.

The goal isn't to become busier. It's to build a business that continues to thrive without requiring you to carry it alone.

That's the kind of growth that lasts.

Every entrepreneur needs someone who will tell them the truth.

Not someone who always agrees. Not someone who tells you what you want to hear. Someone who asks the hard questions, challenges your assumptions, and helps you see the blind spots you can't see on your own.

The reality is, every leader has limits. We all have experiences that shape the way we make decisions, and those experiences can become barriers if they go unchallenged.

The best mentors don't build dependence, they build better leaders. They help you think differently, lead more intentionally, and make decisions with greater confidence.

No matter where you are in your business journey, don't underestimate the value of having someone who is willing to challenge you as much as they support you. Dr. Bayla Portzline is a great choice as a business mentor - she has the experience and the skills necessary to help.

Most business challenges aren’t caused by a lack of effort.

They’re caused by carrying outdated systems, unclear priorities, and trying to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s strategies.

Business consulting isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about creating the space to step back, identify what’s actually getting in your way, and build a business that works for the life you want, not one that constantly demands more from you.

The strongest businesses aren’t built on hustle alone. They’re built on clarity, intentional decisions, and sustainable systems.

Here's the question most business owners skip: _Why would your dream team choose to work for you?_

Attracting great people isn't about writing the perfect job posting or offering the highest salary. It's about building an organization where people can do meaningful work, grow as professionals, and feel like they're contributing to something bigger than a to-do list.

The strongest teams don't happen by chance. They're built through intentional leadership, clear expectations, healthy systems, and a culture that people genuinely want to be part of.

If you're struggling to attract or keep great employees, don't just rethink your hiring strategy. Take a closer look at the business you're asking people to join.

If your hiring strategy starts with finding great people, you're starting in the wrong place.

The best candidates aren't just evaluating the job. They're evaluating your leadership, your culture, your expectations, and whether your organization is a place where they can succeed.

People stay where they feel challenged, supported, and trusted. They stay where growth is encouraged, good work is recognized, and leadership follows through on its commitments.

Compensation matters, but it's rarely the whole story.

Retention isn't something you fix after people leave. It's something you build into your organization from the very beginning.

When you create a workplace people are proud to be part of, attracting great talent becomes a whole lot easier.
