My promise: You will get from Point A to Point B faster, easier and better than you ever imagined.

I help organizations, teams, and individuals make monumental changes.

Over the past 35 years I’ve worked in 61 industries, from high tech to manufacturing to hospitality to entertainment to financial services. I’ve consulted to 96 organizations, from Fortune 50 to national non-profits and community theaters. I’ve supported more than 210,000 people directly on important changes to their business. What kinds of changes? Everything from strategy implementation to culture change to mergers and acquisitions and leadership development.

I’ve partnered with CEOs, front-line workers and changemakers in middle management in organizations like Ford, Kraft and Marriott. I’ve also helped create change in the City of New York, U.K.’s National Health Service and the United States Army and Navy.

Clients call me when they need faster, easier, better results.

People struggle with change. They complain it’s hard, takes too long and is too costly. And, at the end of the day, it’s often ineffective. Why is that?

When most companies try to change, they hire an advisor who takes a fixed approach. It could be 5 or 8 steps or more. They’ve created it. You need to follow it. Their change method isn’t necessarily wrong. It just may not be right for you.

That’s where I come in.

My set of principles work with any system of change you’re using. I call these principles “Levers.” They turbocharge your work, making it possible to achieve results faster, easier and better than you dreamed possible. They help get more done with less. Less confusion, less time wasted and fewer problems.

Want an example of one of the Levers? THINK AND ACT AS IF THE FUTURE WERE NOW. Why wait for the future? Identify some way you want to be working in the future and start behaving that way today. Even if you haven’t created your entire future, you’ll be living a few steps into it and that creates excitement. A simple shift with powerful results.

There are 7 more Levers. Each makes your change work faster, easier and better.

I’m always thinking, “To achieve your desired result, what are the few smart actions that will make the biggest difference?” We’ll get everyone in your organization asking that question. Everyday. Not just talk, but action and results.

That’s how I work. It’s what I do.
