My Story
I am an author with over 40 years of international senior sales, marketing, business development, and leadership experience.
My corporate career covered a wide variety of fields and experiences, including Regional Marketing Director for Texas Instruments Asia-Pacific, Regional Ad Sales Director for TIME Magazine, Global Account Director at BBDO Advertising handling an international airline account, and VP Marketing for Citibank’s Consumer Banking Group.
Over the past 25 years, I have trained and coached over 10,000 leaders in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, Mexico, and North America.
While born in the U.S. and currently residing in Southern California, I lived and worked in Singapore for 21 years and in Australia for 12 years. So I bring a truly international and multi-cultural perspective into my leadership coaching and development programs.
My 21 nonfiction books have focused on leadership, management, marketing, and professional development.
My Values & Beliefs
I believe Great Leadership is an art. It is the art of achieving progress through the involvement and actions of others.
Here are four other things I believe about Great Leadership:
Leadership is about both people and results
If you have to neglect one, neglect the short-term results for the long-term results will come in time when you have developed your people.
Great leaders are great listeners
Great leaders know they learn more from listening than from speaking. It’s why you have two ears and one mouth!
Great leaders are found at all levels of organizations
Great leadership is not confined to the executive suites or ownership ranks. You CAN become a great leader!
People development is your #1 priority
Developing your people is the single most important long-term priority and responsibility of all leaders, at all levels of organizations. Great leaders ensure this happens.
