www.reflectivestrategies.com provides business counsel to help you clarify your choices and make better decisions. This happens through structured analysis grounded in mindfulness principles, blending the rigorous empirical techniques of traditional consulting with the guided exploration process of executive counseling.Change is the only constant. Nowhere more so than in the technology, healthcare, and human service fields. Launch taking too much time? New competitive threat? Revenues down or costs rising? Culture shifting in surprising ways? Customers wanting something more or different? Board restive? My experiences working on both sides of the table—as an external adviser and as a healthcare CEO—have shaped how I work with clients. Reflective Strategies helps you see things more clearly and decide more confidently:• Thinking strategically, mindfully, and systematically about your situation.• Focusing on the essential questions and answers to inform your critical decisions. • Choosing among actions based on your unique circumstances as a leader.We start with what you personally need to be successful, whether as a new or an established executive, in your current situation. This is where the mindfulness practices of awareness and acceptance are especially helpful.Then we build bridges to those who can help you achieve your goals. We think holistically, looking at the strategic, organizational, reputational, financial, and political dimensions of your current situation through a rapid, customized, and private diagnostic process. Finally, we consider optimal actions based on the opportunities and constraints you face today and may in the future. For projects large and small, Reflective Strategies helps clients look closely at their individual needs, engage their teams in problem solving, and mobilize the organization's resources to help all stakeholders converge on a future they can believe in.
