A little bit about me…

Hi, I’m Priscilla Hansen Mahoney. I grew up in the trades and know firsthand the grit it takes to build a business from the ground up. With over two decades of experience helping small and mid-sized construction and service companies, I’ve seen the challenges that come with long hours, slim margins, and trying to lead a team while keeping projects moving. As a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Certified Professional Coach, I bring proven systems and practical strategies to help contractors cut waste, strengthen leadership, and scale with confidence. Through Blazing Trails Coaching, I partner with business owners to streamline operations, boost profitability, and build teams that last—so you can grow your business without burning out in the process.

What people are saying about Blazing Trails Coaching…

We’ve been working with Blazing Trails Coaching off and on for a few years now. Priscilla has walked our team through many different classes and one-on-one coaching sessions with us as owners. We recently completed the “Crew U” program this past winter with our leadership team and were very happy with the results we saw coming out of that program! Our leaders gained a new voice and realized their choices impact our bottom line every day. We preach it all the time, but having it come from someone else in a class setting flipped the switch! It’s helped them develop a new understanding of their roles here with us, and I have no doubt much of the information learned will carry with them for life. We are very appreciative of the support Priscilla gives us and the time she puts into these courses!

We have been working with Priscilla, of Blazing Trails Coaching, for approximately two years, and with her help, we have made huge strides in the direction we wanted to go. Our company culture and professionalism have improved dramatically since we started our coaching sessions. We have also improved our safety and training program, along with laying out the structure and functions of all positions within the company. I would say we have taken the company to the next level. I would highly recommend her coaching services.

Q-Team Tree Services

Priscilla worked with our company to help create processes, policies, and procedures so we could train employees to follow the company standards of quality service and expectations.  Our company has grown over 40%, we have added 50% more workforce, and have created new positions such as Operations Manager, Sales Manager, and front office administrative assistant.  As the owner of the company, I used to be involved in every aspect of the day-to-day administrative and operations functions.  Since we worked with Priscilla, I have been able to train and trust my leadership team, place more responsibility on the team leaders, and refocus my energies on strengthening the business and developing new opportunities for sales and growth.
