- Vision: "To become recognized
worldwide as a management consultant for mentoring small company executives CEOs and
Presidents in organization, marketing or cultural transition, and to spread the word on
management philosophy derived from my years of management experience."
- Mission: "Provide one-on-one advisory
services to company executives, and provide learning forums in roundtable meetings,
seminars and training classes."
- Creed: "I do not profess to be an
expert, but I do profess to be an observer, so listen to my observations gained from years
of management experience, and accept that there is more than one way to do things. In
fact, listen to how I have done things wrong as well as right, if only to avoid making the
same mistakes. Then if I have challenged your mind set and encouraged you to consider
alternatives, I have accomplished my task."

Manager in different industries from companies ranging from startups to multi-billion
