Coach - professor - author - speaker -- labels that describe me; an enthusiastic, results-oriented professional with over thirty years of experience in business and education. Forever the optimist, I firmly believe that each of us holds our future in our hands. We must be the sculptors of that future by learning new competencies that enable successful actions.
My coaching focus with organizations encourages managers to create great workplaces. This is not an impossible task though it does require shifting your thinking. The Savvy Manager: 5 Skills that Drive Optimal Performance was born to guide managers through a fresh and new thinking process. I work together with you within the core domains of communication, leadership, motivation, team building and conflict resolution. The results - high performance companies that move through change with clarity and conviction, enabling employees to work from their strengths and showcase their talents.
For my students, helping them connect the dots between book learning and what is really happening in their own workplaces opens up a world of possibilities for them. With practical tools and real world scenarios I work to bridge the theory-to-practice gap. They see very quickly that they can go back to work the next day and apply what they are learning in class. A total win!
In the end, my mission is to nurture and support people as they learn how to create the personal and professional lives that they really want to be living.
