Personal Highlights
I’d be happy to share three of my favorite success stories. The first involves a CEO who was dealing with high employee attrition due to his old-school management techniques. He used to dictate orders, lacked active listening skills, and created a toxic work environment.
We completely transformed his leadership style, enabling him to foster open dialogue, encourage team collaboration, practice active listening, and truly lead rather than just boss around. This transformation helped him retain his high performers and triple the growth of his company.
The second example is about a female executive who needed to develop the self-confidence to take on the role of CEO. When I joined the organization, it was clear to me that she was the right person for the leadership role. However, no one else, from the board to the rest of the organization, including herself, saw her potential. We helped her build her confidence and skillset and supported her when she made the bid for CEO (which she successfully achieved), and the company has now quadrupled its growth under her leadership.
Lastly, we helped an organization increase its annual revenue from 65 million to over 300 million within five years by overhauling its strategic sales approach. We restructured their sales team, from their hiring process to development, deployment, and compensation. With our guidance, they built a high-performing sales team that consistently executed at a very high level.
