James Franks's Company Details

With over 30 years of professional experience with IBM, Cisco Systems, Dale Carnegie, as a Dean, and now with my own company I have the breadth of expertise that can only come from actually doing it. I've made mistakes, grown and achieved executive level status. There I realized I had found my place – building a healthy organization. Is your organization healthy? Is there a pervasive energy directed toward fulfilling a compelling vision? Do people love coming to work for you? At the end of the day are the people who work for you better off because you were their leader? If you can't answer each of these questions with an enthusiastic, Yes! Then we need to talk. This vision for Leadership Excellence requires skills that are not common in today's command and control leadership philosophy. There is a better way. I'd love the opportunity to begin a dialogue where I come alongside you and help you foster a healthy culture of trust, accountability and results. To get there we and my associates may engage in a combination of the following: Workshops Coaching Strategy ConsultingThe key to long-term transformation is coaching. A workshop will impart the concepts but the long term retention rate of a workshop alone is only 5-10%. Add a long term coaching contract for 6-18 months and the retention and adoption rate skyrockets to 80-90%. That is how to change an unhealthy culture to one that inspires, motivates, and achieves breakthrough results.
