Approach and Process

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

-Albert Einstein

My three-step approach to consulting is very simple.

First, I ask a lot of questions and dig into what problems an organization needs solving or goals they want to achieve. By asking probing questions and listening intently, I gain a broad, yet detailed, understanding of the situation. Oftentimes, with the questions I ask, clients come to understand things about their process, organization, or plans that they had not considered.

Second, I process what I have heard or observed before prescribing. I will leave our initial consultation and request time to come back with ideas and/or a plan. Allowing myself time to absorb what I have learned is the most effective way to create a plan. I then apply my school, experience, and best practices to create deliverables that are measurable and implementable.

Third, I produce deliverables for the organization in the form of ideas, suggestions, or plans. Since most times I am not being paid for my work, I have no interest in drawing out the engagement or creating extra work for myself or others. My plans and suggestions. are clear, actionable and practical
