About
I am driven by a passion to help visionary leaders not only achieve audacious goals but also enjoy personal freedom along the way. While many consultants can navigate frameworks like Scaling Up, I focus on transformative impacts that have added billions of dollars in value to the companies I’ve partnered with. For example, I once propelled a company from 18 years of steady business at $5M in annual revenue to a breathtaking $350M sales pipeline within three years.
I partner with lifelong learners who are committed to:
• Making a significant impact on their industry, team, and community.
• Building an A-player leadership team.
• Cultivating collaborative, long-term relationships.
• Pursuing excellence relentlessly.
I am renowned for my practical, actionable strategies that any business can implement every 90 days to significantly enhance cash flow, strengthen teams, and scale operations effectively. I specialize in elevating strategies, refining people decisions, boosting culture, and improving accountability—ensuring you achieve quicker results with less effort. My clients value my ability to simplify complex challenges and address tough issues with a compassionate yet firm approach.
If you’re ready to transform your business and lead with unparalleled impact and efficiency, let’s connect.

““Bringing Howard into my company was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Howard recognized the potential in my executive team and, in one year, has transformed it into a well-oiled machine. I attribute this growth to the personal coaching sessions and the time Howard spends with my team members. He holds us accountable for our commitments and goals during the coaching sessions. He offers help and advice on those commitments and goals. He ensures we don’t back down from those commitments and goals when we feel overwhelmed and lovingly helps us find solutions to get us back on track. Thank you, Howard!! Running my business is fun again!”
Russ Palmer, CEO of Titan Restoration.
“We run a fairly large private equity-backed company with around 2,000 employees. Our executive team has used Howard and his team for the past year. He has been instrumental in providing structure for our team around quarterly meetings, planning, strategy, etc. Highly recommend Howard and his team regardless of company size. We have received a huge return on investment. ?
Brian Hibbard, CEO of Fitness Ventures
After several years of break-even and lackluster growth, I knew my team could produce much better results. After working with numerous advisors, I found the process, coach, and software that could help our company break through the chasm. In one year, we well exceed our industry’s profitability. In the second year, growth is accelerating, and we are on track to increase net profitability beyond what we thought we could do. Most importantly, I have not felt this in control of my business, and I am as excited about our company's future. Activate Group brought us the scalable strategic accountability process and the tough coaching needed to get ahead of our competition. Everyone needs a coach and Howard delivers the goods.”
