Effective People Strategy is the systematic maximization of talent in an organization. Talent is the fit between a person’s skills/attributes and the requirements of the organization for a person in a specific role. The maximization of talent requires excellence in four functions: the attraction, selection, development, and retention of people. Best practices involve systematic measurement and communication of performance metrics that define success in each role. Supervisors, managers, and executives take are proactive in each of the critical functions. Reviews are not merely annual discussions about the prospects of pay raises, but part of the normal course of how teams operate. Culture improves as organizational health becomes the top priority for team members, and they are empowered to serve effectively. I work at all levels of an organization to install and sustain skillful use of such tools and systems. This involves group facilitation, individual coaching, the use of psychometric and other measurement tools, and performance measurement and feedback.

The Eye of Power is a model and a map that helps people make and sustain positive changes they’d previously struggled to achieve. It reveals inner perceptions, beliefs, and conflicts that hold us in place. But change is not a simple matter of knowing what to do. It is a process of ever-growing internal congruence. To do that, we need others. The Eye of Power model is creating a community of people who, as they make the changes they want in their own lives, help others do the same. You can download the e-book that explains the model. You can complete a course to help you use it. But the real magic is sharing your journey with others who want you to succeed as they do. We support and encourage each other and bolster motivation to sustain positive actions until they become muscle memory.

We find meaning by fostering a sense of purpose. We do that as we build those skills you do best and putting them to service to benefit others. My number one skill is facility with the written word. I write articles, speeches, books, and novels for my own purposes and for others as a ghostwriter or thought partner. The connective thread between these endeavors is the never-ending search for truth and for those things that lead to the best outcomes for people. Stories, whether imagined or captured from our walks through life, are the most powerful means we have to transmit such discoveries.
