About Us

My company, PeopleG2, is routinely ranked one of the best places to work and has been listed as one of Inc.’s 5000 Fastest Growing Companies. As a leadership speaker, I’ve helped businesses all over the world transform their strategies and become industry leaders. But this success did not come from some inherent skill for leadership. Rather, I succeeded because I almost failed. 

My company was already struggling when the 2008 recession hit. We had strong talent and a great product, but something wasn’t working. Faced with the potential collapse of everything I worked so hard to build, I had exactly two choices. I could watch it all fall down around me, or I could get serious about building new skills as a leader and discover what separated more successful companies from my own.

Through research, countless interviews, and deep exploration of my own company culture, I developed the Seven Pillars of Successful Company Culture. These seven pillars represent the cultural foundation of an organization. I learned that as long as we had this solid base on which to build, my company would be free to innovate, explore, adapt, and ultimately thrive.

These ideas saved my business. They enabled me to live out my dreams and dream even bigger. In fact, these principles have allowed me to run the kind of business in which all team members discover their greatest potential, explore new possibilities, and build fulfilling, prosperous lives.

Now, as a speaker, coach, and author, I do the same for businesses like mine… businesses that have strong talent and a solid product, but are still missing those illusive traits that separate good companies from exceptional companies. 

Leaders like you—who are driven, smart, and possibly a little exasperated—are the reason I do what I do. I know you and your company are capable of tremendous things. I’m here to help you transform those possibilities into realities.
