About Me

---

Hello! 

I’m Alexis Piotrowski, a highly energetic, goal driven powerhouse who loves working with people and building businesses. Connecting with people and forming relationships is something that is crucially important to me and part of what makes me so good at the work I do. 

I started playing soccer when I was 6 years old. Looking back on it, this was the first experience that taught me the importance of “team.” I played soccer until I was a junior in high school and the entire time I was learning what made a great team, leader, captain and coach. I learned the importance of roles, structure and rules. There are basic lessons we learn in life every day that if we just take time to see them, can provide us with a wealth of knowledge and insight.  

Now am I saying that I am a great leader because I played soccer when I was younger? No, I’m saying that I am a great leader because I take the time to learn the lessons life presents me. I take the time to assess, reflect, grow and create actionable plans based on a variety of information.  

I am able to communicate that information in such a way that people retain and learn the lessons I am trying to teach them. 

I have managed people and high-performing teams for over a quarter of my life. I have built, rebranded and reformatted businesses as well as pushed them forward. I have employed people from all walks of life with varying skill levels and priorities. Being able to help people and teams achieve excellence is gratifying for me beyond financial value. When I have the opportunity to instill a sense of pride and confidence in a person and give them tools they can use for the rest of their lives I feel as accomplished as they do. Building a business is not the same as building a machine, you have to strengthen the people and environment in the business in order for it to grow.

I have served as Director of Operations twice over. Once in Austin Texas for a bar group, at the time I oversaw 3 locations and 2 separate brands. The other was in San Diego California where I oversaw 2 separate brands one of which was a brewery the other a bar. I have managed pre-pandemic, during pandemic and throughout to the end of the restriction / post-pandemic world. I started studying employee retention and mindset over a decade ago, long before Covid. I have learned many lessons over the years,  from these lessons I have created this business. 

Orbit Leadership is meant to serve small businesses who hope to grow, people who want to become better leaders and decision makers and those who strive to live the American Dream by being business owners themselves.
