Bio

Leadership is simple. All you have to do is Plan, Communicate and Follow-up. It's the execution of those three things that most find hard. I turn your managers into leaders. A SIMPLER SYSTEM: 7 Keys to Inspired Leadership provides new and established leaders with the skills to plan, communicate and follow-up. This leads to staff accountability, retention, greater productivity, more profits and good fun at work.

I've found most people at any level of leadership don't plan well, find effective communication hard, and rarely follow-up fully. I know lots of times I didn't, so that's why I developed my program. I've had the pleasure of conducting workshops and coaching clients across Canada, in the United States and in China. And you know something, the problems are the same everywhere. Your business doesn't matter, we all have the same raw resource—people. You get work done through people and you get incredible work done when you have your act together.

Simpler stands for:

S - Self - I use the DISC Behavioural Assessment tool to introduce you to you.

I - Inventory - What's working for you as a manager, entrepreneur, supervisory or CEO?

M - Marketplace - What's happening in your industry, not just your business?

P - Plan - Take time each week to truly step back, see the big picture and plan your next steps.

L - Lead - Coach, delegate, mentor, and hold yourself and others accountable.

E - Entrepreneur - You and your people are most effective when you think like entrepreneurs.

R - Repeat - We talk about business cycles for a reason, repeat the process and have fun.

I’m a Corporate Trainer and Professional Speaker with over 35 years experience in leadership and training.

Specialties: Practical and simple leadership, business writing, presentation skills, conducting efficient meetings.

Through Joint Ventures I also offer workshops on Customer Service, Project Management, Presentation Skills, Business Writing, and Conducting Effective Meetings.
