About Jo T. L.

Jo T. Letwaitis | Executive & Consultant. jtlmecca1@gmail.com.Commodity - products only differentiated by price alone; as they are all homogeneous. Opposite of commodity - products are differentiated in some way in regards to their specifications, features, benefits, etc.I am YOUR differentiator, your unique solution - not a jack of all trades; but rather a master of solutions. I am not a commodity; but rather a solution. I live and breathe by St. Francis of Assisi's words, 'first seek to understand, then be understood.' I learn by listening - Naomi Feil taught me the art of 'exquisite listening.'With a specific talent for revamping entire organizations based on eradicating the core issues, I am able to pinpoint exactly why investors aren’t making their expected ROI and turn organizations around to create thriving, profitable operations. Extensive expertise in senior living. Certified Dementia Communication Specialist™, Certified Validation Worker, and Certified Dementia Practitioner, and author of 3 industry-related books. I am your solution to:■ deteriorating EBITDAR■ profitable multiple site operation■ specialty senior living development■ fractured teams■ low occupancy in senior living communities■ pinpointing ambiguous problemsI lead private advisory boards for CEOs, business owners and executives to help them step out of the day-to-day to think differently, gain insights, make better decisions, take bold action and generate meaningful results. As a result, our members experience new levels of intention, freedom, power, creativity, fulfillment and transformation. The bottom line is members become better leaders, make better decisions and achieve better results.================================LION - LinkedIn Open Networker - Invitations To Connect Welcome - please have a personal photo on your profile v your company logo or nothing at all!================================
