Mr. King is the founder and Chief Leverage Strategist for Fulcrum Advisors LLC, a consulting firm that provides leadership development, executive coaching, inclusion/belonging explorations, restructuring, and strategic planning services to organizations and teams in the private, public, and independent sectors. Immense personal privilege has allowed me to make the promise to my spouse/partner and family that I will choose only to work with nice people. It is important to know that experience has brought me to the understanding that I am not an expert in consulting services listed above. Rather, I consider myself a very good student and a helpful study partner. As a Padawan learner I am occasionally humbled and sometimes delighted by those moments when my thinking is not as agile or open to new ideas as aspiration dictates or reality requires.
