How We Can Work Together
Hands-on Consulting
Chances are your team is maxed out and recruiting them to help with special projects (or, as I like to say , “Opportunities to Shine”) is going to make you very unpopular.
If advisory isn’t enough and you need someone to physically get the job done, I’m well-practiced and highly efficient.
I offer both retainer and project engagements whereby I act as an additional resource to you, working either independently or with you or your team on specific initiatives.
Advisory
As a company leader, you need a sounding board, a co-pilot, a thought partner to help you navigate your priority list, solve problems, and tame the chaos.
Through my advisory work, I provide expertise and direction through live calls or meetings.
I offer a 4-call package for immediate needs and short sprints, as well as 3- and 6-month packages for medium and longer-term help.
