EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS ‘THE DIFFERENCE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE’. I’m a student of Dr. Daniel Goleman’s work in this field and did a summer study with him and one of his key researchers.
Being a leader is largely about people skills. Some of the basic rules are ones I learned in kindergarten, but it took me a lifetime of experience and some formal study to realize and appreciate the truth of this – and how it works in the business environment.

MESSAGE FROM BILL
I'm an expert at guiding high achievers to achieve greater levels of success for the organizations they serve. I work with high-functioning people who want to go from good to great. I have experience as a high-performer in complex business environments, and I’ve done the work that helped me improve my leadership effectiveness.
It can be lonely at the top. Where do you go for honest conversation? Who can ask you the tough questions you may need to consider? Top performers often have few people in their world willing to say exactly what they need to hear the most. I understand. And I have a unique perspective that allows me to be helpful.
We can be authentic when working together. I understand and appreciate executive stress. I’ve lived it too. In the face of relentless pressure and enormous responsibility, leaders need to consider “who do I need to be” in every situation every day, with consideration of how each decision impacts and contributes to the organization’s long term vitality. Does that feel more like a burden – or an invitation to create what’s possible?
I work with people who want to be conscious leaders.I have a relentless interest in personal development. There have been times when I was stuck in my career and my personal life. I've grown from powerful coaching experiences. I appreciate what coaching can do. I study it. I explore it. I practice it. I see the results in action everyday.It’s energizing. I’m passionate about personal development among high achievers.
