My Passion

My passion has always been about helping others reach their full innovation potential. As a recent retiree, I have developed a new appreciation of the importance of “legacy” to business leaders.

Dedicated to helping business leaders create a legacy of innovation leadership for their organizations through direct and personal coaching, mentoring and training these critical skills to executives and the organizations they lead.
