Interview Questions
What inspired you to write The Bus Trip?
I wanted a relatable leadership fable set in sports that showed how small daily choices shape team culture. A bus ride offered a simple narrative device to reveal lessons on communication, accountability, and adding value to others.
How do you define a great team culture?
Culture is the sum of the standards you live—not the slogans on the wall. Great cultures clarify roles, reward selflessness, and hold people accountable with care. Everyone understands how they contribute to the mission.
What practical habit can any leader start today?
Conduct a daily “add value” check-in: identify one person you can encourage or support today and follow through. Over time, those small deposits compound into trust and influence.
How does your coaching background shape your consulting?
Coaching taught me to translate ideas into behaviors. I focus on simple systems—clear standards, consistent feedback, and role clarity—so teams can execute under pressure.
What is the core message of The Leadership Playbook?
Leadership is a choice available to everyone. You don’t need a title to make a difference—serve others, communicate clearly, and consistently embody the standards you expect.
