No need to go it alone.

I can help you get unstuck and on track to building a stronger Organization.

how we can help you go forward

PEER GROUPS

Leading is difficult and often lonely, and sharing your leadership opportunities and challenges with your best friend from 3rd grade, your romantic partner or your employees generally goes badly.

Peer groups provide a confidential, trust based environment with other leaders who provide objective feedback and support.

By partnering with Vistage I bring robust research and resources, nationally-known speakers, and 65 years of know how to my peer groups.

executive coaching

Not sure where to turn to or who to seek advice from when facing difficult decisions as an executive? I am here to help ease the pain of leadership and provide an outsider, straight-talking, no BS perspective to help you solve problems faster, and more efficiently, and with a lot less drama. My services are fully customized – no off the shelf stuff here.

business strategy

Know where you want to go, and need a plan to get there? A strategic approach helps align your team with your vision, so you have to do less herding of cats and can focus on leading. I help you clarify your goals and meet them faster with less drama and usually less expense.

Unlike other consultants, I take the time to understand your business, work with you and your team to create a straightforward plan, and then stick around to support the execution of the plan, ensuring accountability for the long term.

Nonprofit Strategy

Aligning the board and staff is crucial for nonprofit success, but it's challenging to do it without outside help.

Through in-depth interviews and analysis of your organization’s key documents, I get to know your organization and facilitate consensus-building to create a strategic plan. I then stick around to work with the board and staff to ensure accountability and execution of the plan, overcoming obstacles for both the board and staff.

economic development

I utilize my 25+ years of experience in economic development to assist organizations in creating effective economic development strategy, recruiting and retention of businesses, special projects, and interim CEO services.

interim ceo services

When organizations find themselves without a key executive, I provide interim leadership services to ensure the organization maintains healthy momentum until a permanent CEO is hired.

workforce development

All the usual efforts not cutting it anymore? Struggling to recruit and retain quality talent? I will help you navigate federal workforce development programs, help you retain and develop great talent, and help you implement innovative strategies like second-chance hiring and apprenticeships.
