From Inertia to Innovation
Stuck in the status quo? No matter how small, Ideas are the stepping stones for standing apart from everyone else.

I help people thrive at work. As an engineer, a manager, a speaker, and an executive, I’ve worked with thousands of people at dozens of companies.

If you are frustrated that your teams are not living up to their potential, I can help.
