I have spent over 15 years educating and advising executives, managers, team leads and more about how to utilize strategy for success.
As an consultant and mentor, I’ve worked with everyone from CEOs and other C-Suite executives down to team leads and individual contributors to improve their leadership, followership, and strategic engagement. My clients have come from bootstrapped startups and small businesses to well established large corporations and non-governmental organizations.
I also work as a leadership mentor, coach, and consultant for officers in the IDF.

Inclusion and Accessibility – these are buzzwords that have tremendous weight. But what do they really mean, and who are they really about? Dr. D. may surprise you with his take.
First time managers and anyone interested in improving their relationship with their leader and followers need to learn how to Lean Into Leadership. Learn tools, best practices, styles and skills so that leadership learns how to engage followership for success.
The “Leaning In” program concentrates on tools and skills that boost exemplary communication and positive feedback systems.
Leadership is about connecting with your followers and getting them to move together on a mutual strategic process. Reframing Leadership takes a deep look into the importance of understanding followership in-depth. This is vital for any level of of an organization -from the smallest teams to the highest level – because followership directly impact our ability to accomplish goals in a timely and efficient manner.
Directed at upper management and executive leadership, Visionary Leadership utilizes followership to make the right decisions about the future of the organization. These workshops helps the executive team effectively communicate strategic objectives. And you learn to guide strategic followership in your organization. That opens the door for followers who are most likely to create a fluid dynamic leadership team and organization.
My Thoughts
Followership and Leadership
What is Followership and why is it important?
We hear the word leadership a lot these days. But, what are leaders without followers? There are more followers than leaders in every organization. And most (if not all) of the leaders are also followers.
Followership is integral to successful strategic engagement. It is time to focus on followership and understand how it impacts teams and organizations.
From Strategy to Tactics
What is Strategy and why is it important?
We all engage strategy and tactics in our work and home. By learning and understanding strategy and tactics, leaders and followers are more likely to find a state of co-flow where they work in synergy and in support of each other.
So it’s important for people at every level of an organization to understand how strategy, tactics, and followership work together.
