Billy shares about his tools for building a reciprocal and impactful support system, as well as how he managed change after a series of disruptive events. Right after a bad breakup, he lost his job, his car broke down, and he had to move back in with his parents. In order to boost his confidence and have something to look forward to, he started grad school. Then, he graduated to a changed career landscape – it was the midst of COVID 19 shutdowns, and many companies were not hiring. Currently, he is working on his Ph.D. to better understand change.

 

Billy is a Consultant who focuses on goal creation and attainment, developing human capital, and navigating change. He is currently working on a Ph.D. of Leadership at the University of San Diego with an emphasis in Consultation, Coaching and Change Management. Billy has recently started teaching introductory level Leadership Courses at the University of San Diego for undergraduate students. Lastly, Billy is supporting a research project studying Board Compositions at prominent INGOs.
