  Coach and consultant

  You can handle the technical end of your business just fine - it's the people stuff that makes everyone run for the hills. Me, I love a good mess and have undying faith that people kerfuffles can always be worked out one way or another. This is where I have honed my skills.How it looks on a practical level is this: If your people managers aren't using constructive and consistent management practices, I can teach them how. If they need reinforcement of said practices, I can coach them. If your meetings need tuning up so people love going to them instead of working their phones under the conference room table, I can teach this too. Conflicts causing obstacles? I can teach people how to resolve them or I can mediate them directly. Goals got you down, bunky? I am a butt-kicking goal-creating coach. Performance management system the bane of everyone's existence? I can help you establish practices that result in no-surprise reviews without nail-biting. If you're the boss, you probably need someone to be a sounding board besides your spouse, dog, or good grief, your direct reports. My CEO clients always say they feel better after talking with me.With my background in Human Resources (13 years) and having worked with over 2,000 managers in many companies as a consultant (since 2005), continuous professional development, public speaking and stage work, I bring a unique point of view and set of skills to support your people management efforts. When people are treated well and performance is managed well, you can skip the tension and head straight to the profits.Call me831-588-6191 Show less
