When to Call Us

Executives and self-employed professionals: Are you struggling to achieve the results that you want from your business?

We work with business owners, C-level executives, managers and entrepreneurs who are accountable for bottom line results. Our clients all have one thing in common: they’ve worked hard to reach their current level of success and they are ready to achieve even bigger goals. They are motivated, accomplished, and they set high standards for themselves.

We work with executives and managers in small to medium sized organizations who want to have greater personal impact, more effective teams, and positive business results as measured by increased growth and profit. Seventy-five percent of our clients are technology-based -- engineering, architecture and high-tech companies. These clients frequently want to develop new business and enhance their communication and relationship building skills.

Our clients are also in aerospace where we specialize in Department of Defense Program Management for acquisition, logistics, research, and test centers. These clients often need to find and develop leaders within their organization and become more strategic with their planning.

We work with leaders in organizations that are at or near the point of chaos. They struggle to stay focused and make good decisions based on a disciplined approach and identifiable core processes. These leaders want to learn how to execute their plans with greater precision, develop more finely tuned teams, and become recognized leaders in their industry.

We work with clients who are experiencing lower than expected revenue or having cash flow problems. These clients lack the ability to consistently develop new customers or have lost customers to their competition.

We work with leaders who are paying too high a price for their success. Our clients know that that it takes tremendous effort to succeed in business and in life. They have worked hard to make it to the top and want to stay there – but not if it costs them their health, family, or personal well-being. They’re ready to learn how to balance having a successful career with having an enjoyable life.

Clients come to us when they are frustrated or disappointed with the results of traditional management and training approaches. They know that their greatest asset – their people – need to continue to grow personally, professionally and as a team in order to develop new ideas and to take on more responsibility. They are weary of packaged management seminars and they’re looking for an approach that is more tailored to their needs.

Are any of these statements true for you?

“Most days I feel like I’m on a treadmill. When I’m running like this I know that my ability to listen, focus, and respond creatively is decreased dramatically. I don’t have the time or the energy to be the leader my people need.”

“How can I get people to be more productive? I’m working hard and so is everyone around me. Everyone is tired and not as productive as a result. How can we get more done, in less time, with less stress, and with a better bottom line to show for it?”

“We’ve got smart, talented people working for us, but keeping them focused on the same priorities is a challenge. Our team meetings are not very effective and communication is poor. I know it’s costing us – big time. We need to increase collaboration between teams and learn to resolve conflicts as they arise.”

“Sales are flat and we haven’t made our targets in quite a while. Too many of my salespeople don’t know how to get new clients. I need more people who understand how to grow our business and who are motivated to succeed.”

“I intend to slow down and retire in five years. How do I create a management pipeline for succession planning? I want to make sure I’m spending my time, energy, and resources on grooming the right people to take the reins when I leave.”

Our clients share many of the following characteristics

• They are achievers. They’re motivated and have a desire to be the best they can be – in business and in life – and to make a difference in the world.
• They are not satisfied with the status quo. They are more than willing to take risks and routinely look for challenges that will move them to the top of their game.
• They work collaboratively and seek strategic alliances with others. They tend toward long-term solutions rather than the quick fix. They see the benefits of working as part of a high-functioning team.
• They value the people who work with and for them. They work hard to be good leaders and mentors. They respect and appreciate their clients and customers.
• They have high standards. They pursue excellence in all that they do. They value intelligence, hard work, and common sense.
• They are willing to work on themselves. They strive for continuous improvement and know when to let go of behaviors that are not longer effective.
• They want to grow to a level of personal leadership they never thought possible and they’re willing to learn from the challenges that inevitably come their way.
• They are willing to change. They realize that change is difficult for people and for organizations and that change usually only occurs when the pain of not changing is greater than the effort required to change.

If these characteristics describe you and your organization, chances are we can help you bring greater rewards into your business and personal life. Next, learn more about Our Approach.
