Bio

I founded Acumen Learning where I created – and with many others, continue to develop – the course Building Business Acumen. It has been used extensively by companies like Verizon, Dell, Cisco, Johnson & Johnson, Applied Materials, Nissan, Wal-Mart and many, many others. I am the author of the book, ''Seeing the Big Picture: Business Acumen to Build Your Credibility, Career, and Company''. I am convinced that companies can do both – make a difference in the lives of their employees and customers and their bottom line. Acumen Learning's unique and exceptional approach to this important topic, business acumen, can help anyone become a more competent businessperson. And if you combine that competence with strong character, you'll inspire your peers, your team, your boss or your CEO, to trust your decisions. They'll come to see you as not only a leader of people but also as a leader of the business. That's what CEOs want, and that's what we deliver.
