Speaking

 

I help High Impact Business Owners be the leader their company, team, and family deserve.

I speak on ONE central theme:

“Being the leader your company, team, and family deserve”

 

These nine words are the foundation of all client advising, writing, and speaking that I get to do.

 

Why I say “deserve”

Simple. Your company, team, and family are worthy of your best at all times. Easy to say. Exceptionally difficult to do, especially in all three areas consistently.

 

Why what I say matters

My background in consulting nationwide, large corporate environments, building and selling a startup, advising entrepreneurs while with the VC firm, and now working directly with High Impact Business Owners has made one thing crystal clear:

 

The men and women who are Founders, CEOs, and Business Owners absolutely must grow in advance of their teams and companies PLUS focus on Seven Priorities.

 

Your Seven Priorities are:

  1. Cast a clear Vision for the future;
  2. Drive the Culture of their companies;
  3. Invest in themselves, their teams, and individuals;
  4. Encourage innovation, reward success, and failure, and inspire learning;
  5. Embrace ambiguity and act decisively;
  6. Nurture relationships – business and personal; plus
  7. Leverage financial performance to create new opportunities.

Your company, team, and family deserve your investment in the Seven Priorities.

All of my speaking engagements are grounded in these Seven Priorities and focus on your audience members “being the leader your company, team, and family deserve.”

Three Presentation Formats

I present the Seven Priorities in Keynote, Breakout, and Workshop formats.
