Services and Engagements

I work directly with organizations as an independent outside director focused on helping companies through transitions from a corporate governance perspective.

Additional work through partnerships and alliances: 

GRITT Business Coaching. We offer leadership development, goal-based business consulting, and open-book management leadership engagements.

The Beyster Institute at the University of California San Diego. The Beyster Institute offers ESOP, broad-based financial participation consulting, and other employee ownership consulting services.

Fishes N Owls. Coming in the Future online courses to help move companies from the tired, conventional rules of work to new rules that transform corporate thinking. We also work with others to curate advanced thinking.

The Ken Blanchard Companies. We grow better leaders. As a channel partner, I work on growing managerial range and performance using the Situational Leadership system.

My Process

Audit (confirm where you are now)
Focus (what should be tackled first and next)
Plan (what do we commit to get done)
(re) Design (our blueprint for the next system)
(re) Norm (how will we do it – attitudes, perspectives – how will we show up)
Embed (make it stick and become part of the brand and company DNA)
