I have years of hands-on experience leading teams to the successful delivery of products that impress and delight customers all over the world.

Success Circles are facilitated small groups that meet weekly to provide accountability and support.
As a member, you’ll receive the accountability and encouragement that you need to achieve your goals while building relationships with smart, accomplished peers as dedicated to their progress as you are.

The most effective way to learn a new skill is active engagement, not passive observation. (I find lectures unbearably boring.) My classes integrate actual practice of the skills being taught whenever possible.

“If you want somebody to really learn a methodology, it’s best to put them in a situation where they need to use it and give them as much practice as possible. You don’t go to class for the material, exactly. There are already plenty of books and online lessons for the pure material. You go to class for the interactive experience with other students and for the opportunity to get personal coaching from an expert who has a very deep experience in whatever it is you’ve gone to school to learn. That’s the real value of in-person learning. Software can replace everything else.
