INTERVIEW
Why do I do this?
It is a calling-one to help people awaken to a greater sense of wholeness and possibility.
What do I do?
I work with leaders, organizations, and communities to define their intention, create inspiration, catalyze inventions, apply those innovations, continuously improve them through iteration, co-create personal and organizational transformations, and ultimately Work The Future! Today.
How do I do it?
Through teaching of structured thinking, scenario design, purpose, and the nature of being through discovery. This can take the form of personal coaching, guided small groups, and large world café workshops.
What is it like to work with me?
• "Working with a cross of Peter Drucker and the Dali Lama." ~ Rebecca, Public Sector Services
• "A Zen-like learning journe." ~ Diane, Healthcare
• "He's always there when you need him. A just-in-time mentor." ~ Cynthia, Financial Services
My clients?
• Fortune 250 Companies in financial services, real estate, technology, health care, and energy.
• Academia: University of California at San Francisco, Berkeley, and Los Angeles; University of Maryland, Capella and North Central Universities.
• Public Sector: States of California, Maryland, Kansas, and New Mexico; GSA, Dept. of Labor, and Dept. of Defense.
• International: Sweden, Austria, and Columbia.
Why is this valuable and unique?
Because my work helps you clarify the unknown and undiscovered. It is unique because each engagement is distinctive in its design and delivery. My work is built upon decades of experience and learning across a wide range of cultures and experiences.
What are two of my top two client impacts?
• In the private sector, an end-to-end total work re-design and change management program, which earned the client a 40% return on investment.
• In the public sector, the creation, design, and development of the Business Community Center concept, which was implemented in Austria, Sweden, and the mid-west US.view less
