What I learned over four decades as a Crash Test Dummy for leader development and culture improvement, I teach you in hours, so you and others benefit for a lifetime.

certified virtual presenter

My problem solving sessions contain the right mix of education, audience participation and appropriate humor. Using thought provoking perspectives, I prepare you to solve three common and costly people problems before your cheeks leave your chair: 

1. Endangered People Skills, Communication Paradox 

2. 60% of First-Time Leaders Fail: Peer to leader, Now What? 

3. Sunday Feelings About Monday Mornings

I know how great leaders and cultures should make you feel and how to make them your reality.


Although my parents were educators, learning was not my priority. This led to tough love meetings, I like to call my parent-teacher conferences, the home edition. After college I began to realize the powerful impacts of education, which makes all professions possible. I find learning and sharing problem solving insight inspiring. Specifically, helping you assess and accelerate the development of the right people, for the most important responsibility in the world, leading people.


My career spanned over four decades as a Crash Test Dummy for leader development and culture improvement. What I learned over decades, I teach you in hours or minutes, so you and others benefit for a lifetime. I can’t predict the future; I prepare you to create it.

Endangered People Skills, Communication Paradox

Communication is the foundation of relationships and relationships are the essence of our existence. Our two most important people skills are being eroded. You will experience the emotions and feelings of the Communication Paradox. You will be able to explain how the Communication Paradox is eroding our two most important people skills and how to easily prevent it.


Peer to Leader, Now What?

Leadership is one of our most important people skills, yet 60% of first-time leaders fail. You will be introduced to how organizations unintentionally lose their best people and simultaneously wreck their culture in three easy steps. You will be given the tool to prevent this expensive and emotionally devastating failure.


Sunday Feelings About Monday Mornings

Culture is how you feel Sunday evenings about Monday mornings. 67% of employees are disengaged. You will be introduced to two concepts I pioneered: 

1. Mynd Time℠, Accelerated Improvement

2. Contagious Performance Improvement℠, The Future-Proof Culture

You will learn how to make these concepts your reality, beginning with a culture self-assessment, performed old-school.
