Practical help
when things
get messy.
I’m an outside partner for business owners and leadership teams. When something important stops working, I help you fix it.
Started and built three businesses in services and software. Worked with hundreds of clients. Generated tens of millions in revenue. Sold Vertify. Learned most of it the hard way.
Where Things Usually Break
Sales depends too much on you.
That’s not a business. That’s a job.
The growth plan is scattered.
Too many priorities means no priorities.
The team is busy but not aligned.
Effort without direction is just noise.
The work keeps getting stuck.
Somewhere between the idea and the outcome, something breaks.
The next move is unclear.
You’ll know it when you see it. Let’s go find it.
Ways to Work Together
Different situations call for different kinds of help. Here’s how we can work together.
Advisory
A sharp outside perspective on a regular basis. Someone who will tell you the truth and help you think it through.
Focused Sprint
A specific problem with a defined start and end. You know what needs to happen. You just need the right person to help.
Hands-On Support
Ongoing involvement across multiple fronts. Less like a project, more like a working partner embedded in the business.
Fractional Leadership
Step into a leadership role, own part of the work, no full-time commitment.
Dean coached me through some of the most important decisions I’ve made as a CEO, and he helped us build the sales foundation the company needed to grow. He has a rare ability to see what’s actually going on and help you fix it.— Jason Jaynes, CEO, eCatholic
Dean’s List
An email newsletter with a short list of things I’m reading and thinking about, plus one piece I write myself. For people who care as much about how they show up at home as how they lead at work. A few times a month.
Something’s stuck.
Tell me what’s going on.
