Recently retired I had people reaching out to me asking for my help to improve and grow their business. I have learned the value of my forty years of experience in sales, training, leadership development, and strategic planning. I realized I could create a business that really helps companies grow and avoid some of the growing pains that they would normally experience. I have been working since I was fourteen years old and understand the grind and commitment it takes to grow through the ranks. I spent six years working for Perkins Restaurants, four years at Helzberg Diamonds, and 30 years with Robbins Brothers The Engagement Ring Stores. Each business afforded me an opportunity to hone my skill set and learn new things. I found the most important things for success at all three businesses were hiring, training, and retaining the right people. Two of the best books I have read are The Servant Leader and Monday Morning Leadership. Each book provides such valuable insight into how people think, want to be treated and what happens to them when things are wrong in their life. If you are in business, know that you are in the people business. I am reminded of a John Wooden quote “The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example. It all starts and ends with your people.

My style is one of directness. I will share with you the truth of what I see and learn about you and your company based on my experience. I don’t believe in sugar coating things, therefore I am not everyone’s cup of tea. I believe that honesty and direct communication lead to greater and faster change.
