Would Baby Boomer Owners of small to medium size businesses here in the Triad find value in a high impact solution that can increase the odds of getting the best payout for their businesses-a financial linchpin of their retirement strategy?"I'm ready to move on. I want my team to be like an Olympic rowing crew-effective, focused, smooth, out in front. Instead, we're struggling, out of sync; not everyone has their oars in the water. I'm herding cats". Does this resonate, feel all too familiar, too close to home? My goals are clear, consistent, unwavering: (1) to position owners and their firms' human assets to be as attractive as their financials when it's time to put out the "for sale" sign and (2) ) to build owners' capacity to succeed as elite, elegant "Game Changers" elevating the performance for themselves, their teams and ultimately, their firms. That way, owners can begin their lifes' next chapter with financial peace of mind and confidence their business legacies remain intact and secure.Unlike financial and legal consultants, I can help owners' solve their most compelling, pressing, persistent, "people performance problems" causing pain, frustration, heartburn, and high blood pressure. These vexing "hit and miss" episodes can diminish a firm's attractiveness to potential buyers and delay owners' timetables to sell or pass on the firm in a smooth transition.Visit my website www.kjdevine.com to learn more, including:• Today's 5 Fatal Facts facing Baby Boomer Business Owners looking to put out the "for sale" sign• Take the "4 Tools for You"-four free assessments on my home page designed especially to help owners identify, then clarify the extent and costs of your current "hit and miss" culture, your everyday operating reality.• My firm building, future focused solution, Scaling the Summit: 5 Steps to Achieving Success for You and Your Team based on three foundational values: Caring, Confidence and Competence.

  Performance Matters

  2001 - Present - 5401 Rambling Road, Greensboro, Nc 27409

  Certified Executive Coach, Transition Consultant & Trainer. My goal is to position every client to be the exemplary "game changer" so his or her firm, organization or institution thrives, not dives as he or she transitions out..Using my six step "Devine Intervention" process and specific tools designed with the Boomer entrepreneur in mind, I can help them improve the return on their human capital, the people driving their numbers. When partnering, owners and I use an array of customized tools, each containing focused assessments, clear success metrics, insightful exercises and personalized assignments, all geared for sustainable business improvements before and after the owners' departures. I'm transitioning to build a more Triad based practice and focus more on a target market I can relate to quite well-I'm one myself-a Baby Boomer Business Owner. My passion is partnering with Boomers and help them achieve their goals moving forward. When working with clients I see myself much in the role of a basketball point guard, positioning each teammate for success and getting each to score well enough so we "win."Being a Baby Boomer Business Owner, my experience is varied and rich stretching across several professional lives. The most relevant are:• Since 2001 I'm a solopreneur, owning Performance Matters with a client base primarily in the public and nonprofit human services world focusing on strategic planning, performance management and feedback/dashboard systems, leadership development, executive and team coaching. Performance Matters evolved from a 25 year management career in the human services arena.• In a another prior career, for more than two decades, I co-owned a family business, The Devine Upper Crust, a wholesale bakery with a clients including Kroger, Radisson, The Fresh Market and restaurants in Greensboro and Chapel Hill. Like every small business owner, I put in a ton of hours and wore many hats.
