Before the pandemic, I was a business coach working with Family Businesses. As the country shut down, I recognized that retiring was on my horizon, and I wanted to retire proactively - what I call PROTIRING. I worked with my coach to help me reveal the subsequent pursuit in my life. Now it is time to provide the same to others who want to grow into their next life phase. Call me to see if this fits you!

The Leadership Circle Profile is designed to accelerate leadership effectiveness beyond traditional competency-based approaches. When it comes to developing leaders, training to competencies alone does not work very well. For more rapid and lasting results, it is crucial that organizations help leaders gain deeper insight into their behavior and what is driving it. The Leadership Circle Profile™ is the only 360 degree competency assessment that simultaneously provides focused competency feedback while revealing the underlying assumptions that are causing a leader’s pattern of strengths and limitations. The Leadership Circle Profile helps leaders understand the relationship between how they habitually think, how they behave, and, more importantly, how all this impacts their current level of leadership effectiveness. Once this awareness is established, leadership development can proceed. Without it, change rarely happens.
