Over 40 years in leadership positions in oil and gas operations (upstream), aviation, and real estate (ruaral land and timber management and development) businesses. About 20 years ago I was put in an operations management position which, although I initially reisited taking the position, turned out to be the place where I "blossomed" as a team builder. I found I had a unique ability to bring discordant individuals and groups to focus on common goals and produce far better results than they had prior to my influence. During the past year and a half, since retiring from Wiggins Airways, where I served as Chief Pilot, I have formed Unity 'Consulting through which I work with business or other group leaders to help them make their teams more productive. To accomplish this I help them improve communication, trust, respect, and certainty of mission among the members of their teams. I'm convinced this is the work I was put here to do and I absolutely love it.
