About Miki
I’m Miki Saxon and I write MAPping Company Success for my company, RampUp Solutions, Inc. I’ve been coaching startup executives on their cultures and communication skills for 10 years. I use a system I developed called MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy)™ that’s predicated on the belief that every outcome starts with a thought, so “To change what they do, change how you think™”
In addition, we’ve launched a socially responsible stock allocation system called Option Sanity that actively supports a fair and transparent culture. In other words, it helps founders put their equity where their talk is.
MAP is the result of more than 25 years of successful recruiting during which I developed an in-depth understanding of the bottom line impact of employees who are turned on—and off. I distilled that knowledge, combined it with my co-founder‘s view from the top, and turned it into the framework called MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy)™ that helps leaders build better cultures and achieve stronger results.
In 2003, we shifted the business model from straight consulting to a virtual coaching model to accommodate both the requests of our clients and my move to southern Washington State.
In 1993, I wrote The Swamp and the Alligators: a (slightly irreverent) guide to career planning and the search process and was named Author-in-Residence at San Francisco State University Career Center.
