My Point of View

 

Connecting people and places has always been at the core of my consulting practice.

Here are a couple of things I know something about:

The way forward as an economic development professional

Economic developers need to position themselves in their organizations and community in ways that serve their own interests as well as those of the places they serve.  Equally important, students and adults making education and career decisions, as well as the parents and educators that influence them, benefit from understanding how to make choices and investments that will fulfill their aspirations.

The way forward as a solopreneur

I have been a successful solopreneur for almost 30 years, during times of great industry change.  That personal experience and my ability to organize chaos, synthesize insights, and accelerate change are the basis for services I offer to fellow entrepreneurs and anyone navigating transitions in their work roles.

If one of these describes your path, or a path you are thinking about, read a little more about my own journeys to discover how I might walk with you for a while.

I’ll meet you where you are and we’ll take it from there.

Wayfinding for Economic Development Professionals

Whether you are new to the field or just new to your assignment, you are navigating new relationships, new priorities, and new personal stresses.  It has been my privilege to know outstanding economic developers over the years, to observe what works for their organizations and for them personally, and to be an advisor and a sounding board. 

My strength is the ability to help you clear away the noise and maintain a focus on what will sustain your personal equilibrium and your professional success.  How do we do it?  We design a relationship that works for both of us – gives you just the kind of advice and the amount of advice your need, or plugs you in to a pre-designed program.

And if working with me isn’t the right answer, and you just need to plug in to a network of your peers, call me anyway – making connections of that kind is always on the house.
