As a Racine-based FocalPoint coach specializing in senior manager consulting, I often serve as an ongoing advisor for growth-focused companies lacking experienced directors. By providing unbiased strategic guidance, I help these agile teams punch above their weight class and actualize full potential faster.
Broad Perspective That Catalyzes Exponential Impact
While many talented founding teams and executives possess strong technical expertise to grind daily, they often lack organizational experience beyond early-stage ventures. Yet as complexity compounds through rapid talent acquisition, new market expansion and fundraising campaigns, the playbooks required to channel velocity into vectors of smart progress require evolution.
What propels companies to the next level? Perspective, wisdom and operational frameworks honed from walking alongside leaders at much larger scale. I supply this insight. We blueprint communication flows, hiring methodologies, performance tracking tools, and leadership principles modeled off venerable enterprises. You bypass unnecessary rookie mistakes.
With broader exposure and aerial visibility, I help Racine organizations architect properly for the size they’re growing into next, not where they currently stand. We unite your bold vision with the structure, systems and strategy to actually support exponential growth. Let’s set your trajectory and milestones for breakout success.
Leadership Development Through An External Lens
Even well-intentioned, lifelong internal managers often lack context, suffer from institutional group-think and demonstrate inadequate self-awareness over time due to organizational inbreeding. As an impartial executive coach not tangled in office politics, I evaluate strategy, talent and dysfunction with an objective, outside-in view.
I provide unfiltered feedback around current leadership blindspots, unhealthy team dynamics requiring intervention, simmering conflicts being ignored and talent retention issues threatening morale and growth. Devoid of personal agenda, I broker solutions focused solely on what will best serve the organization.
We illuminate where the team is currently falling short in emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, communication and executive presence. Then I help mold professionals ready to lead larger teams through complexity at true enterprise scale focused on the horizons ahead. We transform your talent bench.
Harnessing the Power of Accountability
Even the most dedicated teams struggle to consistently meet deadlines, deliver quality work and uphold standards without proper tracking and accountability guardrails built into regular operations. As an objective outside authority providing non-negotiable oversight around agreed upon key performance indicators, I supply the missing discipline.
In an ever-changing, hypergrowth environment, the urgent too often overrides the important. I ensure executives adhere to defining smart qualitative and quantitative goals that ladder up to your long-term North Star while empowering managers to cascade clarity around responsibilities and success metrics down to their direct reports. With compassionate accountability fueling progress between our monthly advising sessions, leaders remain focused.
Accelerating Strategic Decisions
Growth-oriented organizations progressing quickly amass complex dilemmas involving high-stakes decisions that impact talent, operations and budgets. Too often executives allow the ambiguity to foster analysis paralysis. With an obsessive focus on mitigating downside risk, they fail to take decisive action where needed.
As an advisor attuned to the intricacies of your enterprise yet detached enough to assess dynamics objectively, I help leadership teams simplify the complex scenarios inhibiting progress. We break down unwieldy issues into addressable components. Applying wisdom gleaned from vast exposure advising other leaders facing similar dynamics at higher velocities, I supply clarity so executives can pivot with conviction to propel growth vs. second-guessing sound instincts over marginal factors. We waste less time getting stuck in our own heads.
