Approach

I look to build trust with passionate leaders who know what they want but need an informed, objective and trustworthy peer to help them navigate a problem or opportunity. I have been on the corporate side and understand the challenges associated with leaders often not having anyone to talk to or get advice from that does not have some other incentive, fear or other emotions driving their relationships.

Initial contact helps to confirm if there may be an opportunity to partner, after which we have a conversation. Through this talk we confirm if we build initial trust and decide if we want to work together. I follow up with a conceptual agreement, high level objectives, measures and value statements of what we want to accomplish. Finally, I write and send a formal proposal, and then we are set to get to work.

You are dealing with me and me alone. I have no overhead, I have no one to try and impress or outshine and my commitment is to the buyer I am working with. My expectations is I leave each organization I work with in an improved position, providing the committed results and additional value.
