In his experience coaching senior executives, Ken has addressed the significant challenges faced by the executives and the organizations they lead.

Those include:Frustration and constant anxiety about the performance of their organizations.Frustration with the lack of engagement and commitment from subordinates and staff.Awareness that past leadership skills and approaches are no longer effective.

These repeating patterns led him to develop the Peak Performance Series, built to manage an unprecedented combination of factors creating the need for a very different method to build effective organizations.

Ken will present an introductory session on March 26, and offer the complete series over three sessions on April 23-25. (more details soon) Please join us to discuss and learn more about this important topic for company leaders and decision-makers.
