STRENGTH AND RESOLVE: 

“It is not always easy to ask a CEO the tough questions, but it is even harder to delve below the surface to get at the true underlying issue and then have the “character”​ to “call upon” the executive to address the issue and be accountable for the solution. This is key to my clients finding real value in our relationship.”
