Mission Statement

My mission is to use my education, experience and talent to develop thinking strategists who will leverage their academic and professional competencies to become one of their firm’s most valuable assets.

Professional Stance

  • Position + Responsibility = Manager

  • Organizational Commitment + Influence  = Leader

  • Responsibility + Expertise + Influence = Thinking Strategist

  • Position + Responsibility + Expertise + Organizational Commitment + Influence = Top Management

Conflicts of Interest

Students who are poised to take a course where I am the instructor of record will receive portions of this training as part of their tuition. Thus, to avoid a conflict of interest, these students are not eligible for academic consulting until they complete their undergraduate studies or are no longer enrolled. This stipulation does not apply to students who have been suspended from the college for academic probation or students from other institutions.

Due to my time commitments as a full professor, my current teaching assignments and writing projects take priority. Thus, my capacity is limited for pro bono consulting and week-long in-house corporate training during the academic year. Requests to provide feedback on new business ideas will be handled as time permits.

Lastly, I welcome opportunities to write with others, including students and industry leaders. No compensation is provided for these collaborations. There is no guarantee that the work will be published.
