I spent more than two decades in operations, including Amazon, where I led teams at hundreds of
facilities. I was gone a lot. Then my ten-year-old son asked me where I lived.
I left corporate and spent a decade leading founder-owned businesses as President or COO. Same
pattern every time: good people, no system to execute together.
I became an EOS Implementer because I know what a business can cost at home.
Using The Entrepreneurial Operating System’s (EOS) proven process that has been implemented in over
thirty thousand companies around the world, I help leadership teams crystallize their vision, gain
traction by instilling discipline and accountability, and function as a more healthy and cohesive team.

Most entrepreneurs work hard and still feel like the business is running them. The same issues come back every quarter. The team isn't clear on where the company is headed. Meetings drag. Good people sit in the wrong seats.
This session is a practical introduction to EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System. You'll learn the six areas every business must get right: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. You'll also get the simple tools leadership teams use to strengthen each one.
Come ready to work. You'll write your company's 10-Year Target, rate your own people against your core values, and leave with a short list of things you can start on Monday.
