More About Me
I have worked for most of my career as an agent of change, guiding organizations and people in pursuit of their aspirations.
In practice, that has meant a lot of things: offering guidance and counsel to leaders and people in transition, developing change agents, designing and delivering training programs, articulating visions and values, facilitating whole system change, and helping teams and organizations work on the right things in the right way and for the right results.
I have been a major contributor to three major corporate turn-arounds, and coached leaders or consulted for more than fifty organizations in over a dozen countries. I have done that work with an eye on the fact that change occurs when there is a shift in human energy between the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual realms. This approach is outlined in my article, The Human Dimension of Problem Solving.
One business pundit referred to me as a "corporate shaman."
My contributions are valued for insight into complex situations, clarity of communication, creative approaches to problems, skillful delivery, on-target intervention, and respect for the human spirit. Two of my gifts, remarked upon by clients, are my abilities to “talk hard about the soft stuff” and to create “an unusually effective combination of heart and mind, coupled with business sophistication and a results focus.”
Along that path I also wrote. My first book, Artful Work won the Benjamin Franklin Award as Best Business Book in 1996, and placed me in the forefront of efforts to bring feeling and spirit to workplaces. The Art Of Winning Commitment, has been called potent, original, and inspired. My newest, Is Your Genius at Work? is based on four key questions to ask before your next career move.
I have also contributed to professional and business magazines, appear in the media and at conferences, and lead public workshops. Editors sometimes seek me out as a writer because they know that, quite apart from the content of my work, they can rely on me to meet deadlines and make their jobs easier.
Your view. Your voice. Your book.
