During birth—right when I was born—my mother died.

Going to school I felt awkward because everybody had a mother and a father—but I didn't.

From my childhood perspective, I thought I belonged to an incomplete household—to an incomplete organization so to speak—although I grew up in a loving family.

This is why I have always wanted to find out about "the secret" to organizational effectiveness.

This deep-rooted feeling propelled me to become a Social Anthropologist, then an Organizational Development Consultant, a Corporate Leadership Development Educator, and a Leadership Coach.

With over 30 years of experience in the field of organizational development, change management, and leadership development, I have helped audiences from different cultures, trained over 10,000 managers, and I have worked in several industries—especially manufacturing..

My story is about increasing awareness about this simple fact:

With a win-win mentality, you build high-performance organizations.

With a win-lose mentality, you do the opposite.

Egos (power, wealth, fame, etc.) destroy organizations—and entire civilizations.

Values (humility, integrity, respect, etc.) fuel cooperation, learning from each other, and full-fledged prosperous cultures.

My Mission is to enable managers to become world class leaders.

My Vision is to democratize organizational high performance.

And my promise to you is to give you simple, timeless, and results-oriented leadership competencies, step-by-step.
