About Me
My background
Having served in formal and informal leadership roles, personally and professionally since a young adult, learning through all my many mistakes, I'm not much different than anyone else. However, having the opportunity to work with so many different teams and leaders, side by side in their environment, on their turf, integrated with their people is something few will ever experience.
I've personally experienced how these leaders and teams function in real life situations; what effective (and not so effective) leaders actually do every day, what does or doesn't work and what people do and don't want from leaders.
My Story
At some point in my life, I found myself at a crossroads of sorts - you know, the "what's life all about" type thing. Coincidentally, around the same time, a co-worker shared a book with me which after reading and studying truly inspired me to follow this path of self-discovery.
Along the way, as I discovered ideas, concepts and philosophies as old as humanity that are as true today as when they were created, I became less interested solely with the accomplishments of business as a business, and more interested in the development and success of the people who make these business successful. Not merely as employees or revenue producers - but as people.
Needless to say, my evolving philosophy didn't always line up with corporate America, and I've embraced the resultant career changes over the last 20 years. Because of all this, I'm strongly compelled to share my unique experiences with others so they may benefit from the wisdom I've gained in my career and life.
