Bio:
Specifically: speaking, training, and leading teams have characterized the past 20 years of my career. I currently work as a keynote speaker, corporate trainer, coach, and consultant. I present workshops on leadership and sales-related topics for numerous Fortune 500 firms as well as small and mid-sized companies, trade groups, and associations.
Perhaps just as importantly, I’m passionate about the personal side of leading well, and write and speak regularly about building trust as a leader. In addition to teaching leadership principles for Concordia University’s MBA program, I published my first book, The Golden Principles: Life and Leadership Lessons from a Rescued Dog, which uses simple lessons learned from a Golden Retriever about living well and leading well. Several years ago, The Golden Principles was honored by Amazon.com with a “Top 100 Best Books of the Year” award.
Clients hire me to help them develop their leaders because I am one: I own several businesses, manage a team of key leaders, and own ultimate P&L responsibilities for several million dollars of annual revenues. I’ve managed an operational team as well as a sales team, and have spent more than fifteen years honing my craft as a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator on all things pertaining to leadership and sales. I find deep satisfaction in bringing current insights to bear for leaders and their teams.
