I believe that strong, trust-based relationships are the key to personal and professional success. With over 25 years of business and management experience, I help high-performance individuals and teams become better business relationship builders and set measurable goals to track their progress.In 2002, I co-founded The Galvanizing Group®, a learning and development company in Portland, Oregon. With a popular business book series ("The Daily Connector," "The Connector’s Way” and "The Trusted Way"), a unique cohort coaching program, and a robust online learning curriculum, The Galvanizing Group® offers companies and teams a methodical approach to improving loyalty, referrals, and sales through better relationship building.In addition to client and company management and development, I am a published author who enjoys writing about the people, places, and pets that make life colorful, interesting, and fun. My work, a selection of which is under the publications section of my LinkedIn profile, has appeared in lifestyle publications, in-flight magazines, newspapers, and trade journals around the country. I've also written dozens of articles for clients in diverse industries, from consumer products to healthcare, insurance, technology, real estate, construction, and more.
