Having an entrepreneurial spirit of my own, I have much empathy for entrepreneurs. They take huge risks to start a venture, driven by a strong vision and a passion to be self-determining. If they are successful, one day they discover that what they’ve built is more than they can handle. Suddenly, they’ve become an employer. They also discover that they are ill-equipped to manage people.
My passion is guiding these entrepreneurs through the journey of becoming a preferred employer able to attract and retain the market’s top talent.
My professional journey has taken me from cleaning toilets as a janitor to becoming an automotive mechanic, to shop foreman, to a business partner, to a business owner/operator, to an adult student, to chaplaincy work to business executive and now as a Business and Human Resources Consultant. In all, some forty-five years working in human services. The net result is that there are very few groups with whom I can’t relate. From the shop floor to the C-suite, I’ve been there. I’ve been that person.
We provide our clients with the resources to help them define and establish their culture, train their managers, develop their people and grow their business, and their success is our success. As I think about my legacy, I hope it will be said that I poured my life into others.
