Performance Coaching
for Executives and Teams

Manufacturing is my passion.  From laborer to leader, I have over thirty years of firsthand effort on the factory floor. My first coaching role was with John Deere.  I spent 3 years coaching employees and then 2 years coaching the coaches.  Coaching for performance excellence is a large part of the success my clients experience.  As a twenty-year corporate coach, I work with many leaders across functions, across industries, and across the globe.  I am currently completing the ILM7 diploma program with Actuate in London. 

When the opportunity came along, I joined the ranks as a lean practitioner with Caterpillar.  First, as a Master Black Belt, I taught Six Sigma at Caterpillar for five years while coaching both operational excellence and six sigma deployments.  Then as a global lean practitioner, I earned my bronze certification and practiced globally within the Caterpillar footprint.  Then Caterpillar sold my services to a large global customer.  My consulting career was born.  

After 30 years in manufacturing operations, moving from the factory floor to the executive office, I moved into consulting.  I currently chair the Lean Certification Alliance certification oversight and appeals board, where I have certified as a bronze, silver, and gold practitioner.  Today, I work as a fractional operating executive, executive coach, and operational excellence consultant to clients around the world.
