The Question That Can Change Your Life

I Promise

Wow! Last week, I participated in a branding strategic implementation meeting with a client and his new branding gurus, goBRANDgo. They covered all the usual questions - How is your industry perceived?, How are you perceived?, etc.- and then they asked something that left my client dumbfounded and impressed the heck out of me.

Breaking Down the Bureaucracy Within

A client I worked with about 20 years ago recently discovered something shocking. The carefully created process his company developed to get from initial meeting to satisfied client-a process that worked well when I was working with them-had ballooned from 40 steps to more than 600!

How does Rally co-driving prepare you for improving performance in teams and executives?

I am a Rally Co-driver in several series in the Western Hemisphere. You can read about my racing history at my rally website. When I am competing, it is my job to corral all the best performances from myself, the driver, the mechanics and any other members of the crew supporting us for the weekend. As you can imagine, as in any racing, egos are strong, tensions are high, and the atmosphere is ripe for interpersonal conflict.

I have a track record of co-driving for racers of any caliber (National Champions to first event novices) and delivering results that exceed their expectations.

For the rest of my living, I coach executives in leadership and team dynamics; teams in developing higher levels of trust, understanding and camaraderie; and individuals in making changes supportive of getting what they want in life. In this arena too, I have a reputation for delivering results that exceed their expectations.

HDClarity is an e-zine for those wanting to develop more of that trust, understanding and camaraderie in their work environment, and their life in general. A smoother running team is a more profitable team. It get things done faster, for less cost.
