Meet Ken:
I am an Executive Coach and Career Consultant with nearly 30 years of experience at Johnson & Johnson and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Most recently, I served as Vice President, Coaching Services at the Velocity Advisory Group coaching clients in positions ranging from first-line Manager to CEO
I have found that TRUST is the foundation of all great relationships and great relationships are the foundation for success.
TRUST is not a given, it needs to be earned, nurtured and developed over time, more so with actions than words. The good news is that it can be developed by focusing on the TRUST Model and 5 areas of focus to build TRUST between you, your contacts, your colleagues and the marketplace.
I’ve helped leaders from first-time, first-line managers to CEOs be successful by identifying their true self and building their teams and business to heights they hadn’t reached before.



Executive Coaching & Career Management
There are many reasons to engage with a coach.
What’s your situation:
In a new role and want to have a great start?
Feeling stuck with your career?
You just know you and your team can do better, but you’re not sure how to do it
You suddenly and unexpectedly find yourself in career transition
I’ve experienced all of these during my 25-year career with Johnson & Johnson, through being laid off at age 52 to finding my passion again as an Executive Coach and Career Consultant.
Simplifying Leadership Through T.R.U.S.T.
Transparency: Are you truly sharing everything with your employees, stakeholders and clients? You may think so, but let’s look at things objectively and find our for sure. Results: Yes, end results are the bottom-line, but the quality of the journey makes a difference. Were clear expectations set? Were short-term milestones set and reached? Was the right amount of coaching given to ensure success? Understanding: Great leaders know where their teams and direct reports are at all times. Are their personal challenges affecting performance? What is the tone and tenor of the team? Is anything getting in the way of success? Simplify. Is your team truly focused on top priorities or is it all about addressing “low hanging fruit”. How can you make sure efforts are where they need to be. Team Focus: The move from individual contributor to leader means it’s not about you anymore… it’s about your team. We’ll discuss ways to recognize, reward and create a motivational environment for maximum success.
