Petey has worked with companies such as St. Joseph's Hospital System, Walmart, McGraw-Hill, KPMG, Century 21 National, Southwest Airlines and KPost Roofing. Steve Little, Petey's client and president of KPost Roofing states, "Petey helped me focus on the "quality of time", both professionally and personally. She helped me balance my responsibilities between KPost Company and National Roofing Partners. Her assistance in hiring my assistant and redefining the job duties to help me attain our desired goals has changed my life. Her insight into employee generational differences has helped us reach new heights within our company. I wholeheartedly recommend Petey's services. Be prepared to be challenged beyond your comfort zone, pushed to reach your potential and made accountable to reach your goals."
Petey is also co-founder of Consult P3, a consulting firm with offices in Dallas and New York that specializes in helping companies turn potential into profits by ensuring that their people, planning and processes are in sync with their corporate mission.

Petey's extensive experience working with non-profits led her to establish The Non Profit Roadmap, which helps non-profits improve their accountability and provide measurable results to their board of directors and donors. The return-on-investment for non-profits is the long-term impact by helping non-profits work more with less, yet continue to better serve the community.
