I have been a founder and serial entrepreneur my whole life, starting when I was 11 years old and bought my first paper route.
As a business consultant for over 30 years, I help organizations to be successful through their people.
AND, along the way, I've also:
Founded and operated a small business-book publishing company with eight titles in print. I operated this 'side hustle' (before there was a phrase for side hustles) for 12 years.
Founded and operated a service firm that provided "producers' to corporations to help them deliver flawless virtual instructor-led training.
Co-owned and operated a real estate franchise.
Founded and operated a non-profit for 5 years.
Founded an annual publishers and writers conference.
Founded and continue to produce 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 (held annually the last Friday of July).
Author of 8 books.
I write on leadership, professional development, and succession planning for Forbes, Training Industry, TD Journal, Chief Learning Office Magazine, the Construction Management Association, and more.
