My core work in both business and education involves creating a deeper understanding of an organization's unique situation, establishing goals that are both visionary and grounded in reality, and then co-creating effective, sustainable solutions. My associates include executive coaches and organizational development specialists around the world. I've had the privilege of working with clients across North America and in Europe, Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand. I've authored over 25 books and developed consulting tools that synthesize the best from various disciplines and theories.I am most interested in working with leaders willing to engage in the ongoing work of creating environments in which everyone can flourish--they know who they are, why they're here and what they do best, whether they're managers, employees, school principals, teachers or students. My Intentional Leadership Coaching framework guides leaders at all levels understand their strengths and related blind spots, and then identify--and focus on--the key priorities that will help them reach specific goals.Because few situations call for off-the-shelf fixes, our consulting services combine solutions that may include polarity thinking tools, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and personality type theory as popularized through the MBTI. My books include Unleashing the Positive Power of Differences: Polarity Thinking for Our Schools; Intentional Leadership; Differentiated Coaching: A Framework for Helping Teachers Change; Creating a Coaching Culture for Professional Learning Communities; and Differentiated School Leadership.
