Introduction: I revel in turn arounds, people and business. Buidling new business and making good businesses great almost always requires coaching people also. I bring great energy and focused attention to the table, because I love doing it. My work stands out because: 1.The strategy provided identifies core changes that must be made before any significant results will occur. 2.Designing a plan and process. 3. Assisting with implementation is part of the projecct (This also applies life coachig). Consider this all too common scenario: A company on a downturn calls in a business consultant to find solutions. The consultant spends time observing, questioning and assessing the situation. He then provides a document identifying shortcomings, offering solutions and outlining an overall strategy. The consultant collects the fee and disappears. The company leader(s) feel enlightened and stimulated so they meet to discuss it. Then . . .ultimately no real change occurs! There may be nothing wrong with the strategy offered by the consultant. The problem is expecting great results from the same culture that caused the deterioration in the first place (usually through inaction or ineffective action). Some companies require some simple, but important adjustments, while others require wholesale changes. Done correctly, implementation begins before the project is complete. This usually comes in the form of new processes and systems that become part of the culture. The result is increased revenue, sustainable growth and a great workplace environment. Watching people come alive! Whether business or personal lives, too often people degrade into dull routines. But watch them wake up when involved with something that truly excites them! When working with an individual, it is very rewarding to observe as they allow their true selves to emerge. In this society we get so busy doing what we are supposed to do or what others expect us to do, that it is very easy to get lost. We forget about our dreams or feel we never have time to pursue them. Instead, ask what excites you, what makes you feel alive. This gives clues to who you really are and begins a process of allowing our true self to emerge. I love watching business leaders come alive and get excited about the new direction of the business. This results in businesses that deliver more value for their customers and a better environment for their employees. In turn, the organization thrives and affects the community in a positive way.

A few years back I had the pleasure, and yes, the pain (just being real here, please read on), of working with Randy at Golden West Casino. I was hired as a food server before Randy was hired as the G.M. Within a couple of years of working for him, I was promoted to food service trainer, and then the really BIG step for me of being the food service supervisor. I was completely out of my comfort zone and not at all sure I could handle the job although I so wanted the opportunity. And Randy gave it to me! Did I make mistakes? Yes, absolutely. Did Randy know I was going to make those mistakes and let me anyway? Yes, he did. Because you see, only through our mistakes do we grow, learn, and ultimately excel. That and so much more is what I learned from Randy. I will never forget when he implemented the Golden West Mission Statement and Company Values.(Here comes the pain), I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard of, I didn't have time for this, I had work to do! But then a funny thing started to happen. I watched Randy ask all of us as employees what we thought and how we thought of said Company Values and I began to "get it!" He wasn't just giving us a "list" of things to memorize, he was pulling us all together as a team and Golden West Family and trying to make us see the bigger picture! And we did! And it was for the most part a beautiful thing the way we all began to not just "recite" them, but feel them and as a team! We WERE Golden West! I'm certainly not trying to make Randy out to be the end all, be all, so to speak, I'm just being real. I also butted heads with Randy on more than one occasion, but I can tell you he ALWAYS listened to what I had to say and more importantly made me feel that what I had to say was important and valued and I'm finding more and more that that is a rare quality indeed. If given the opportunity, I would work/for Randy again in a heartbeat, I learned and grew from that learning more than I can say. And one last little side note on the Company Values. I wish I could say I remember them all, but that was some years ago so I don't. But I DO remember these two...mistakes are an opportunity to start over again more intelligently, and change is never over, learn the embrace it. I have carried those two with me to every job and "learning opportunity" I have had since. So thank you Randy, for everything.
