I have a simple belief that there is always another way to think about things. Too often we are caught in an “either/or” world both in our personal lives and in our organizations. Should we do “this or that”? Should we go “this way or that way”? I believe that our best thinking comes when we live in the world of “AND”. This way of thinking has been at the core of my personal and organizational life. I always ask, “Why are we constrained by “this or that”? What if we shifted the situation; turned it just a bit and saw a whole new way of seeing? For almost thirty years, I was the primary leader of Christian Publications, a retail chain of specialty bookstores that worked tirelessly to serve our customers and create value and progressive thinking for everyone that we interacted with. Along the way we helped create an environment where store owners and vendors could come together to share ideas and build a better business model.Since 2008, I has taken this experience into the consulting world. Using my ability to “ask penetrating questions that get to the real heart of the issue”, I (and now Bonvia) deliver leadership development and strategic planning to individuals and organizations.
