I’m absolutely addicted to seeing people and organizations get better day after day. I feed my addiction through my company, Stone House Consulting. We advise leaders on the strategy and tactics necessary to build the culture they need to thrive, we coach people to rise to their potential, and we design and deliver useful learning experiences. Prior to becoming a consultant, I spent 20 years in the government sector, beginning as an active-duty United States Marine and ending as the Director of the Law Enforcement Instructor Training Program for the NC Department of Justice. During my uniformed service, I learned to quickly assess situations, make decisions, and move to action. That bias toward action shows up in my work today as I help leaders simplify their assessment process so they can make critical decisions and move to action quickly to get those short-term wins that are so important to long-term change. Since leaving government service, I’ve helped build world-class cultures in dozens of manufacturing plants, at a top-tier business school, and in small to mid-sized companies spanning several industries; I’ve worked with companies that were months old and that are over 100 years old; I’ve worked in 13 countries and 17 states. The one thing they all had in common was the need to create a culture where people had both the desire and the ability do their best work every day.
