Specialities: sales process and training expert, customer service strategy, high-performance team development Business Philosophy: Anything is possible when your people, processes and systems all align. Coaching Approach: Ontological Coaching explores one’s way of being, as a means of producing fundamental shifts in action and results through creating new openings in observing and listening. “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan Show less
