How can I help you?
I help you resolve conflict, build great relationships, get more done, and grow your team. And when everyone grows, your organization becomes a place clients pursue and where talented people want to work.
One of my clients described the leadership path like this illustration: you start doing work, transition to managing bigger projects and more people, learn the importance of selling to get more and better work, and eventually get invited to the leadership group to make the firm’s decisions.
I teach emerging leaders to master the skills at every level of leadership and balance managing both old and new responsibilities.
