I am finding people reaching out to me for help have a similar experience. In one case, an executive with lots of industry experience is going through the growing pains of a startup for the first time. In another, an executive with many years of experience in a company was promoted to CEO and is overwhelmed by his new responsibilities. In both cases, they feel somewhat inadequate and are wondering what they got themselves into! I find most of the leaders I work with have the answers inside. I have forty years of experience and scars to help you organize and test your informed intuition into a highly scalable, operationally excellent strategy. With a clear mission, I can help you inspire talented, creative people on your team to think outside-of-the box while being accountable for results. If you see your company in this, and let's schedule a time to talk about how your company can excel. If we are a good fit, we can explore how I can help on an ongoing basis. If not, hopefully you take away a valuable insight from our conversation you can use. Either way, you have nothing to lose. https://lnkd.in/eMYhgcUc https://lnkd.in/gUrYa2in

Leadership is about seeing the whole picture.

Before the Summer break, I was delighted to have been interviewed by The Institute of Leadership as part of their 'Meet the author' series. If you would like to hear about the changing world of work, how to become future ready - both professionally and personally, and the questions on the minds of professionals like you, then this is the interview for you! My thanks to the Institute and I hope you enjoy listening to it. #futureofwork #futureready #ImagineThinkDo https://lnkd.in/egw5Pfk8

Delighting the Customer: Lessons from Warren Buffett Warren Buffett says in this video that one of the keys to success lies in delighting your customers. It's not just about meeting expectations—it's about exceeding them in ways that leave a lasting impression. When we make it our mission to meet customers where they are, understand their needs, and go above and beyond with kindness, work transforms. It becomes joyful, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. Imagine creating an experience so impactful that your customers can’t wait to share it with others. That’s the kind of connection Buffett talks about—a relationship built on trust, generosity, and genuine care. This isn't just a strategy for business growth—it's a principle for living. When we approach every interaction with the intent to delight, we elevate not only our work but also the lives of those we serve. How can you bring a little more delight into your work today? #CustomerExperience #Leadership #KindnessAtWork #WarrenBuffettWisdom https://lnkd.in/gQYYZVRd

Over the past five months, I’ve had the privilege of meeting with nearly 100 CPOs and CHROs. Here are the top recurring themes they’re grappling with—and one approach we’ve used to address these challenges: - Skills Gap – Now that we’ve defined what great leadership looks like, how do we upskill the people we already have to fill the gap? - Leading Through Uncertainty – How can we build leaders who inspire and navigate their teams through change and transition? - Building a Culture of Trust and Continuous Improvement – How do we create an environment where trust drives growth and performance? Erin McCann, SHRM-CP, Head of People at Genomenon, Inc shared how she leveraged Stride to directly address these challenges during her time at 86 Repairs. Using Stride she: - Created a safe space for idea-sharing and tough conversations - Built trust and alignment across the organization - Strengthened connections to boost engagement and collaboration At Stride, we combine 1-on-1 and group coaching to build transformative cultures that lead with trust, accountability, and a growth mindset. P.S. We’re still adding new cohorts to our CHRO & CPO Group Coaching Program. It’s a free six-month program where you can connect, learn, and grow with other senior HR leaders. #HR #LeadershipDevelopment #CoachingProgram
