IMPAQ Entrepreneur, formerly Shared Vision Ventures, provides practical education for entrepreneurs and business leaders compelled to achieve their biggest vision and positively impact their world. We do this by teaching how to lead and develop high performance teams, and how to partner and work with others to achieve the kind of enormous results only possible through the full commitment, contribution, alignment, empowerment and accountability of every partner, stakeholder and team member. Our focus includes helping entrepreneurs work successfully through stages of growth and sustaining high levels of success by developing their organizational structure, implementing accountable leadership systems, and transforming the collective behaviors and habits into a high performance culture. We also specialize in business model (or business unit) optimization and business execution. We believe this is the critical link of how people work together to achieve business results and includes decision making, prioritization, evaluation, communication, coordination and accountability. We find that a-plus strategies combined with highly skilled teams and strong systems still fail without this often, "missing link". I'm extremely passionate about this work, which is greatly influenced by my own experience being an operational and finance executive with many diverse companies. It all started from my time as the CEO of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, growing it more than 10X over 7 years, including international expansion. This resulted in a very high value sale to the current owners who have continued the brand expansion to over 900 locations worldwide today. I'd like every entrepreneur and business leader to have that kind of success, and am now able to provide the methodology, leadership training, and business execution specifics that are imperative to achieving it.
