The specific results I can point to include improved staff morale with a better work ethic. Employees at all levels taking greater responsibility for their jobs, are working better together, and communicating more effectively with respect and specificity. And, best of all I am no longer micro-managing and have been able to ‘let go’ and enjoy running my business again.”

“The strategic planning process you used was great because usually you have to listen to participants express their issues ad nauseam and the process gets bogged down. If you prefer to focus on where you want to go this process was phenomenal. At the end the day everyone has a pretty good on idea on where we want to go and their role in helping us get there.”

“When I read Skip’s article on the “7 Deadliest Sins of Leadership & Workplace Communication” I shouted out an enthusiastic “YES”! as he so clearly identified some of the most common, most destructive and least acknowledged communication barriers that significantly effect the health of a workplace environment. One of the patterns he discusses, that I know negatively impacts leadership teams, is the “Avoid and Tolerate” relationship dynamic that occurs so frequently, yet is usually an unconscious barrier to a teams productivity. This cancerous type behavior leads to team dis-unity, dis-trust and lack of respect for one another, vs. a group of individuals soaring together so to have substantial, positive financial gains. Skip has hit the mark.
Skip’s style in writing and speaking is authentic and direct. He believes deeply in the work he does and shares his gifts generously so to help change the way business communities relate to one another. If my team was struggling in the least, I’d call upon Skip to share his knowledge with us. His experience and expertise come from working with a wide range of leadership teams (small business owners, middle management, leaders of non-profits), giving me the assurance that he has studied and clearly understands the “sins” taking place around workplace communication issues.”

lled our team to a new level of productivity. First quarter for our company is traditionally slow, but this year we have kicked off the new year with a bang!

“The results we achieved from our leadership team sessions with Skip went beyond my expectations. Skip’s effective facilitation style of standing back and allowing discussion to take place, while directing the discussion with poignant
questions at the right moments, was well balanced and just what we needed. His direction helped us create clear guidelines for how our team will work together and communicate moving forward. As a result of his work with our leadership team, we will continue to develop a more positive, high-morale, high-performance organizational culture.”
