The Business
Your business could be better but what should change? What does better look like?
- Higher labor ratios?
- Higher customer counts?
- Fewer bad customers?
- Better employee performance?
Many times the answer is 'YES'. But you can't change it all at once. Let me help you discover, prioritize and help find solutions to these challenges.
Leadership Team
You have talked to your team and explained the priorities. You have asked for their input but still things aren't changing. Do you need to hire a new team? Why do initiatives seem to stall?
This is where I help leadership teams through a Problem Discovery workshop. We work to reveal the real reasons for regress and develop a plan to address them.
Just for Leaders
Leadership is not for the weak. It requires growth, discomfort and discipline.
I will work with you to improve your difficult conversation skills, prioritize your effort and negotiate effectively, present ideas more confidently.
The Hero
“Manifest the Hero you want to see in the world.”
I asked myself: What does my hero actually look like?
He does what he wants—fear, peer pressure, and old wounds no longer stop him.
He’s broadly competent, always expanding—methodically, never recklessly. Mistakes come; he owns, fixes, learns, moves on.
Tough. Mentally steadfast. Principles tested in fire.
Bright—always thinking, cross-applying knowledge, the guy you want in a crisis.
Reliable—takes the load others drop, feels fear fully, answers with courage.
Tells the hard truth to build, never to wound.
Takes care of himself so he can lift others and helps them do the same.
One attribute your hero refuses to live without? Drop it below.
Hot Air
A $30 million fighter jet, grounded for weeks. We chased every valve and duct—twice. Nothing worked.
The Chief backed me into a corner: one night, one huffer cart, zero excuses.
Hours later, kneeling in the cockpit “just for grins,” I found the culprit robbing the entire pneumatic system… and it wasn’t a valve.
Great leaders don’t just demand fixes—they remove every obstacle and trust you to deliver the impossible.

Trust and Vulnerability
In the high-stakes world of team dynamics, trust isn’t just a feeling—it’s the bedrock of exceptional performance. Drawing from a real-life company meeting where ideas clashed openly, this post explores how vulnerability fosters honest feedback, dismantles egos, and transforms average groups into unstoppable teams. Learn why trust trumps individual brilliance, its core qualities (like honesty and reliability), and practical steps for leaders to build it, even through pain and tough decisions. Discover how embracing criticism leads to unified success.
