Welcome to my site! I'm glad you're here. 

This is where I'm supposed to say I've spent 40 years helping people get on the same page in organizations... and I can help you. 

But the truth is, I spent 40 years figuring out how to show up in situations. Figuring out how to manage myself well under pressure, in real-time, to be effective. 

Junior team member. Consultant. Exec. Didn't matter what role. Didn't matter what age. What mattered was how I conducted myself in a role, in a situation. That took me some time to figure out - not all 40 years! - and that's what I can help you with.

How to figure yourself out faster. How to manage yourself better under pressure. In real-time. So you can get your job done with or without colleagues, depending on things you can't control but might be able to influence. 

If that interests you follow me to see what I have to say. I basically share everything I've learned online. If you can use it, rock on. If you need help, call.

And If you want the short bio...

In my first job after college, I staffed a community mental health center's residential treatment program and helped launch and run the agency's first-ever strategic planning and program evaluation efforts. While in graduate school and working at USEPA, I worked directly with state and local executive, legislative, and environmental officials to improve intergovernmental communication and collaboration. 

Over the decades, I've owned a software company with my brother which created major change in Fortune 100 companies' property and injury risk management. I've owned independent consulting practices focused on organizational collaboration, conflict, communciation, and change.  And I was COO and President of a management consulting company which I didn't own, which supported a lot of government change.  

(I also had a 25-year side gig writing, consulting, and coaching Federal government proposals. You have to buy me a drink to hear about that!)  

I earned a fun undergraduate liberal arts degree which I was able to design, and I have an MS in Conflict Analysis and Resolution.   

These days I'm on a mission to show others how to learn what I learned about handling collaboration and conflict better. You first. Techniques second.

So welcome to my site! I'm glad you're here. Let's see what trouble we can cause together.
