I started my career working in finance for a large bank. Within 2 years of that career, I was offered my first management position. The work I had been doing was good and I felt confident that I could do a great job running a team.
Within a few months of managing a team, I realized that I wasn't as good at leadership as I thought I was. This started me on a journey to figure out how to lead better so that the team I was leading got better results. Through a process of training, feedback, and a commitment to getting out of my comfort zone, I was able to get to place of confidence as a leader that produced great results.
Since then, I have been the COO for an Inc. 500 company which lead to a clearer picture of my purpose and sparked on idea for a business. In 2008 (not a great year to start a business) I joined a partner in a business called the Business Blueprint which lead to the creation of New Work Revolution.
Over the years I have consulted with federal government agencies, city and county government, corporations, as well as over a thousand small businesses which is where my true passion lies. I teach in the professional education division for the University of Utah and have created coaching programs for other companies to help them deliver results for their clients. I use my wide range of experience to support my clients with insights that I have gained from that experience.
Today, my purpose is best described by me as "being a person of deep curiosity who looks to connect people to ideas as well as to other people".
The primary ways that I work in my purpose is through high performance coaching and workshop facilitation for leaders.
New Work Revolution was created to assist business owners in stepping into their power as a leader so they can build teams and grow their business while also enjoying a personal life outside of their business.
I am the creator of the highly rated workshop series Strategic Business Forum. The author of The Management Playbook and Total Experience Design. You can check out my podcast, Growth and Freedom, in iTunes.
When I am not coaching or facilitating I, along with my wife and 4 daughters, live in Salt Lake City, Utah. When asked to describe myself, I will tell you that I am “funny, charming, interesting, and handsome,” all of which claims are highly questionable other than the first. I enjoy running, sports, music, hanging out with family, and reading when I am not busy helping others capitalize on their potential.
