PHASE 1:
You probably know what you want your organization to look like & how you'd like it to function.  But, where do you begin & how do you get there?

Leadership starts at the top and that's exactly where we begin - - at the top with the leader of the organization.
Good players can't overcome bad coaching 
~ Bill Belichick, New England Patriots Football Coach
If you haven't done so already, you'll need to identify & crystallize your vision and communicate it to your Team.  If you’re not clear about your vision, by definition, you cannot lead.  After you identify your vision, I’ll work with you to keep it top of mind and help you remain engaged with it so you can continue to lead effectively.   Part of this involves clearly defining your role as Leader.

​Next, we pose to your Team a measurable and market differentiating company challenge for them to rally around.  They need to know where they're headed.  When your team supports your vision, they'll help you build a path to get there.

​Why does any of this matter?  Well, while we're on this page about "Leader", let's talk about that a little.

As the leader of your organization, you're likely in rare air  - - 6% of the US population according to the Kauffman Foundation - - who has what it takes to build, sustain and/or lead a going concern ​(main occupation, established 5yrs+, at least 50 employees).  It's part of the American Dream, right?  Freedom, independence, security.  Do you feel like you have that?  Or, do you feel like owning your business has become a slog?  Are you still energized about being a business owner?  Is your business running you?

​Sadly, too many business owners we meet feel that way.  Chances are pretty good that the rest of the 94% of the US population will never understand what you and your family put at risk to fund that American Dream that often looks enviable from the outside.  You're the first to take a pay cut & the last to take a paycheck when times are tough.  Using your primary residence as collateral to take out a loan to fund your business.  The lack of gratitude from employees.  Government regulations & requirements.  Stress.  Tension with your spouse for missing yet another family event.  Missing moments with your children.  Being tethered to your business while on family "vacations".

​Entrepreneurs are the backbone of this country.  If you're up for the challenge, we'd like you to live more of your life.  Sure, it's not all bad.  In fact, it may even be pretty good overall.  But, we've seen entrepreneurs making sacrifices and carrying a bigger load than necessary.  we'd like to help you LIVE.  Maybe even help you discover what that might even mean. Well, I'd like to help you become excited about your business again.  Fill  your organization with people who share the vision you have.  To not be distracted during your personal time with whatever is going on at work - - heck, to even HAVE personal time!  To make a meaningful impact in the lives around you.  Take REAL vacations with your family and/or friends.  Recharge.  Have FUN!  Feel ALIVE!

Inside each and every one of us is our one, true authentic swing.  Something we was born with.  Something that's ours and ours alone. Something that can't be learned . . . something that's got to be remembered
~ Bagger Vance (from movie: "The Legend of Bagger Vance" (2000))
Life is too short to have those kinds of regrets.  They're often unnecessary.
