Helping Improve

I'm a Principal Leadership and Organizational Coach/Trainer with Helping Improve LLC. We help your people, teams, and leaders tackle opportunities and solve challenges in ways that build your internal capabilities. We do this by bringing our knowledge and practical experience, not just theory, to every engagement. We pair that with your people’s knowledge about your business, industry, challenges AND their experience. Helping improve, together, is what leads to lasting change.

We help organizations with leadership development, change management, product management, and improving thier product delivery processes. We certainly help with agile as part of this, but we help with agile as a tool and approach to meet business goals, not as a goal in itself.

Looking for a Training or Coaching? You can read more about the services we offer and look for specific classes, products, and services, and course listings at HelpingImprove.com

If you are interested in talking to me about consulting, faciliation, training, coaching, or speaking, please Contact Me and we can setup some time to chat and see if there may be a fit.
