Through my partnership with FocalPoint International, I combine my expertise in corporate strategic planning and process development with their proven tools and methodologies to drive transformational change.

• Why are some business leaders more effective than others?
• Why do some companies succeed at building highly productive teams while others struggle to produce the results they desire?

The difference between the most successful professionals and those who can’t seem to rise above average is almost always a gap in leadership or communication skills. Fortunately, those skills can be learned – and you may be just one skill away from dramatically improving your effectiveness.

Through my coaching practice, I work with owners and executives to maximize their time and productivity; develop efficient and cost-effective operations; and increase their companies’ profitability through personalized, structured action plans.
