A personal trainer for your business

I've been coaching and consulting for business owners and executives for over 15 years, in industries as varied as automotive, education, financial services, aerospace, oil and gas, nuclear power, marine equipment, recreation, and industrial safety. And, I've done it all over the world.  I hold a bachelors degree from the University of Michigan and a MBA in Global Management from Thunderbird

Why Seek Expert Help?

The key to living a healthy and fit lifestyle is hardly a secret: eat right and exercise regularly.  And yet, every year, millions of people spend billions of dollars on personal trainers and gym memberships, just to tell them to do what they already know they should be doing. Why? To be held accountable. For external validation of their efforts. To learn more than they already know. The greatest athletes in the world still have coaches.  Why shouldn't you?  Why would you treat your business any differently?

A business coach works with you to not only fix your short term concerns, but set you and your business up for long term success. My approach is rooted in the Japanese concept of kaizen, or "continuous improvement". Using this approach, together we will plan your strategy, set it in motion, monitor the results, and act on the lessons learned. Whatever the pain you are feeling now, be it in a certain section of your operations, or a staffing problem, or just an inability to get over that proverbial "hump" to achieve the next level of revenue growth, applying my EMPoWeR model (Evaluate, Map, Perform, Weigh, Review -- based on the Deming Cycle) will show concrete results quickly and sustainably.
