My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a man who was kind enough to have me as a guest on his show Smashing The Plateau. This is a great show where he raises the question that we all need help with in our lives - How to get past that huge obstacle that keeps us stuck in our lives. How to smash the plateau. you see its all in the name. Now the interesting thing about our guest is his desire to not only help individuals achieve success, but also companies too which has taken up the bulk of his life over the last decade.. He is the President of TEND Strategic Partners, and is a recognised authority on leadership and management capabilities that lead to organisational excellence. He is the creator of the TEND System™, specifically designed to take advantage of existing resources from a team…building upon successes they have already achieved… integrating and managing structured changes, with built-in accountability, without adding excessive workload or unnecessary expenses. By tapping into time-tested blueprints to overcome emotional and tactical roadblocks, he designs and implements the innovations needed for business to thrive, and empowers organisations to become the recognised go-to resource in their niche. But of course within all organisations their are individuals with their own problems, so is it as simple as helping the man is the quickest way of helping the boss? Or do we simply have to find a world where the right pegs are banged into the right holes. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr David Shriner-Cahn.
