What Makes Priority Leadership Group Unique?

As Principal Consultant, you get both an organizational leadership consultant and a human resources veteran in one! I am able to provide you support in an exceptionally wide array of workforce related areas by combining my twenty years experience in business as a successful HR leader, with in-depth training and experience in the behavioral sciences. When you’re looking for a HR or OD consultant these days, there are a lot to choose from. Choose Priority Leadership Group, and you get expertise in both!

You are dealing with a business owner like yourself. I don’t provide the contract and then send in a junior apprentice to do the work. If I need to change course, expand the scope, or adjust the schedule, we negotiate and agree. There is no need to “ask the boss”.

I am fiscally responsible to your business too. For small business owners, it can be a shock the first time you hire a consultant. I understand this and will work with you to find ways to control the costs on projects.

I am very comfortable with and interested in different cultural perspectives. Work, travel, friends, family, hobbies and volunteer work have allowed me to know people from many different backgrounds, cultures and perspectives. I feel most comfortable when I am working with people from a variety of cultures.

Sheila and I served together for many years on the board of Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast Council. Sheila was a tireless advocate for the organization and a thoughtful contributor to strategic discussions; she helped lead the council through a number of challenges (including executive leadership issues) after a merger with another council. I was particularly impressed with her organizational skills and her use of data to help coach and develop leaders.
