Leadership Facilitation :  Many CEO’s struggle to find somewhere  to turn when they are at the top of their game.  Who can you turn to when you’re uncertain about the next step or when you are concerned about the allegiance or motivations of your advisors or direct report executives?

Not everyone will be sympathetic to the concerns of the “superiors”.  Others may feel that your worries are over when you’re a “success”.  Yet, for you,  the opportunity to analyze, brainstorm, reflect and gain perspective with another can bring a steadying hand to the ultimate responsibilities of the top decision maker.

Analyze your options and feel confident in moving forward.   We will negotiating your strategy and operational changes with reflections from a legal perspective, operational management expertise, and leadership development support -- in numerous industries and business models -- to the decisions that govern your company.

Crisis Interventions:  Staff illness, accident or death; facilities disaster -- fire, explosion or accident; massive employment transitions such as layoffs, firings or plant closings; suicide or fraudulent or unethical activities ...  All of these transitions are moments of critical change for the people involved in the corporate community.

In order to make crisis transformations successful, intervention by stable, outside sources who can provide education, perspective and stability, increases the smoothness of the transition and reduces backlash such as lawsuits, lack of productivity, and employee absenteeism or conflict.

Artists, Visionaries, Intuitives, Creatives:

Managing everyday life can bring a sense of being overwhelmed by all the data, research, prioritizing, analyzing, organizing and decision-making that needs to go on to make your talents visible.

If you have talent that needs to be brought to the world but have difficulty with the managerial skills of identifying necessary tasks, prioritizing them and making time to follow-through, I can help you move your work from a personal talent to a visible enterprise and help you deliver your work to others. 

I provide consulting services for a variety of creative artists as a liaison between clients, agents, lawyers, accountants and the public. 

  • My key tasks are to stay informed of the constant changes occurring in all facets of creative entrepreneurship. 
  • I will be responsible for everything and anything that enhances the development of an artist's career -- from simple staging help, to complex negotiations, to long term career plans.
  • I have created or managed a huge variety of business enterprises – creative writers, photographers, painters and jewelry designers; contractors, real-estate investors, publishing enterprises, academic ventures and national non profits. My clients include Oprah guests, high-profile attorneys and published artists. 
My expertise involves supporting areas that are difficult for you to address, such as:

Research – Do you fear making decisions because you realize that you should be better informed but don’t know how to gather than information, or do you tend to gather and gather information, without being able to act on it?

Clarify - Do you find it overwhelming to try to develop the list of the steps necessary to get from where you are to where you would like to be? Do you see multitudes of steps, many that seem daunting, making it difficult to start?

Decide – Do you find it difficult to choose or differentiate between multiple choices or plans of action, thereby making it hard to take action on any item; or do you decide and then second guess your choices, spending much of your time in doubt or reconsidering?

Prioritize – Do you find it difficult to determine where you should  start, making it a struggle to get going at all, or do you waste time by doing only the things you are competent at and letting the rest stumble uncompleted?

Plan – Do you feel like it is difficult to see into the future and plan for the contingencies that might arise, or are you distracted by all the possibilities that appear making it hard to move forward in any area?

Action - Is making change a struggle for you or your team? Do you find resistance to new ideas, fear of the unknown, or concern about failure is limiting your business or personal success?

Support – are you afraid that your talents or expertise will never be delivered because the menial details, such as forms, phones and filing will wear you out, or do you struggle to complete the menial, never getting past it?
