I help entrepreneurs and their leadership teams get more from their businesses, and I do that by implementing a system of simple, practical tools called the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), more commonly referred to as Traction.Using this system I help companies achieve three things we call Vision, Traction, and Healthy:VISION, meaning first getting your leaders 100% on the same page in terms of where your organization is going and how it's going to get thereTRACTION is all about discipline and accountability, teaching your leaders to become people who can master execution so they can actually achieve your visionHEALTHY, means helping your leaders advance as a functional and cohesive team, because leaders often simply don't function well as a team. From there, as goes your leadership team, so goes the rest of your organization. We get to the point where everyone in your entire organization is crystal clear on your vision, is disciplined and accountable in executing toward your vision, and teams at all levels in your organization are advancing in that functional, healthy, cohesive way.LET’S CONNECT 📩 joel.swanson@eosworldwide.com 📲 612.836.3656 to schedule a free 90-minute overview workshop for you and your leadership team

Directly recruited to spearhead organizational development and project management initiatives for growing business. In less than a year I established project management processes, hired and trained others to utilize these processes, and acted as a project manager for our clients' most complex technical projects. Company grew from 14 to 35 employees during my tenure. I also served as facilitator for a Service Manager peer group, as an internal process development expert, and as a client-facing SME in the areas of productivity and business continuity planning.

The Pacific Crest Trail runs 2658 miles all the way from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington. I first heard of the PCT in 2000 and immediately made it one of my life goals to hike this trail in its entirety. In April of 2009 I said goodbye to my colleagues at aCoupleofGurus.com and set out north from the Mexican border. Five months and six pairs of shoes later I arrived in Canada! This hike was the most physically and mentally challenging experience of my life, but was truly an enriching, transformative, and rewarding adventure.

I oversaw all aspects of the organization's service delivery, customer service, and internal administration. Key responsibilities included developing and executing both business plans and operating plans, managing engineers and administrative staff, and serving as an escalation point for customer service and administrative issues.
