Internet Program Manager for Worldwide Training

As a business growth strategist, author, and former Apple exec, I facilitate a 90 day process that transforms overwhelmed managers into admired leaders who are eager to grow the business and develop their team/dept/division.

What’s Going On
😖  Have you noticed that the regular tempo of productivity you rely on has taken unexpected dips and dives?

😖  Are you under pressure to produce growth while you’re barely getting by each week, performing heroic saves, yet unable to get to the longer-range planning & strategic steps?

😖  Are you surprised at all that your direct reports have not stepped up to claim more responsibility? Are you wondering who is interviewing for other opportunities?

💥  Senior managers – especially in the high tech, privately held firms that I work with –  want to see improvements in the business operations, processes, and relationships improve, not just suffer and endure.

💥  Business leaders are struggling to right the ship. Without an approach that addresses the underlying causes, behavior change initiatives fail more than 70%. 

💥  Half-hearted efforts produce not just poor results, but perhaps backlash from your people. It doesn’t have to be that way. 


When We Work Together
📈   You get the levels of engagement that are good for morale and measurable via market growth, reduced costs, improved profit margins, and lower turnover.

💪 You can see results for yourself in 2-weeks. 

👊  Stop settling for results that are below what you know your people are capable of producing.

👊  Escape the trap of solving your manager's problems and give them the support to become more effective.

What Other Senior Leaders Say
💬  "I highly recommend Bill for any company who is looking for a talented person to help them with things such as marketing strategies, product positioning, company presentations, and overall good judgment regarding personnel and the organization.”
Bret Dunlap, CEO/President • Advanced Mobile Solutions

💬   “Whenever I was stuck, I knew Bill would be able to listen, ask a few questions, and come up with insights that really made a difference, whether it was with a strategy decision, go-to-market opportunity, or de-risking a new venture. Bill is an invaluable asset to any technology leader.”

Senior Territory Sales Manager

I appreciate your visit to my profile. As I think of the most important reflections to share with you from what I've learned in my life, it would begin with having several businesses throughout my career, including one devastating failure that led me to declare bankruptcy. 

The reflections on that bankruptcy would be the basis of the next stage of success-- in every way-- emotionally, financially-- it was the learning tool that outperformed any other available path of learning.

What I found was the key to success was to identify my subconscious habits of thinking, which are stored in my neural pathways.

I learned that, on our own, habits of thinking are quite often hard to identify and investigate.  It is difficult to determine if they were working for me or not.  I learned by studying neuroscience how to change them.

This is harder than it seems, (which is why I now coach people around this material, which I am deeply, deeply, passionate about).

The difficulty in changing habits of thinking is also related to this fundamental insight. We can't do what we are often taught to do-- fight our brains, to change our outcomes.  We have to work with our brains to change our outcomes.  That means we have to understand how our brains work.

Our brain is a predictive tool, and when a habit of thinking, stored in a neural pathway is triggered, it quickly gives us a subconscious "tsunami-like "response of memorized emotions that pummel us and drive our personality, impact our behaviors, actions, and ultimately impacts our results.

That is why so many of us stand on our beaches of resolve at 7 am (no binge eating, impatience, self-sacrificing, no net surfing, etc.), and by 9 pm, we can find ourselves mentally drained and frustrated, beating ourselves up, hanging on a "coconut tree" with chips in our hands, and saying yes to three more things in an already crazy life. 

True self-development and sustained change only happen when we can identify our habits of thinking when triggered, and then implement the principles and processes that result in the brain creating a new neural pathway and clipping off the old one.

This is one of the deepest passions of my life.  For my clients, it means, in a single word: hope.

We often think we are destined for the lives we currently live in--we aren't.  We are destined for the lives we create behaviors for.  And behavior is in our control.

 I'd love to meet you. If a conversation about this subject would serve you, please book a call at the link below.

He sat across from me, eyes down, hands folded, as if he was holding something fragile.

“When I was a kid,” he said quietly, “my dad constantly compared me to my brothers. They were fit. I struggled with my weight. And every time my dad pointed it out — even casually — it felt like I was being measured and coming up short.”

This man was angry, but I think he was grieving something deeper — something he had carried for decades without a name.

He continued. “He probably thought he was helping… motivating me. But it shaped how I saw myself — and honestly, I’m still trying to shake it.”

As I reflected on my friend’s story it seems that his father didn’t pass down intentional harm. He passed down something more subtle, more powerful, and far more common.

This man didn’t just inherit his father's comments. He inherited his father’s internal identity pattern—a lens —shaped long before either of them understood what it meant.

That pattern became internalized: A way of assigning worth. A habit of comparison. A belief that improvement is a prerequisite for love.

And like all unexamined patterns, it traveled with him into adulthood, his leadership, marriage and into his own parenting.

Identity patterns travel silently and often destructively through generations. They don’t fade with time. They fade with awareness.

This experience revealed a truth most parents and leaders struggle to see: “Our children inherit our identity patterns, not our intentions.”

We intend to be encouraging, loving, empowering…,but if our identity is formed around comparison, scarcity, insecurity, or self-doubt —
that is the legacy that gets passed on.

Children don’t imitate what we hope. They absorb the patterns we embody.

Most people try to change their behavior, but behavior is the echo of an identity that is felt by our teams and families.

Neuroscience tells us that identity isn’t formed in our thoughts — it’s formed in our nervous system.

Long before we speak or intend anything, our autonomic nervous system is already predicting who we are, what situations mean, and how we should respond based on stored emotional memory. These subconscious patterns — not our conscious intentions — drive 95% of our tone, reactions, presence, and parenting.

Children don’t learn our mindset; they absorb our nervous system patterns, as truth, through co-regulation and limbic resonance.

Our nervous system, the keeper of our identity patterns, is a greater influence on future generations than our words ever will be.

This matters because the culture you create — at home or at work — is shaped by the identity we live from, not the values we write down.

Transformation doesn’t begin when we try to act differently. It begins when we learn to think, feel, and interpret differently.

When we change our patterns, we give the greatest legacy to our children, family, and company—an internal identity that is better than the one we inherited. 

Generational mindset legacy matters! Let's chat.

Habit Breaker/Neuroscience Expert | Quickly Showing Leaders Their Biggest Opportunity for Gains | Family-Centered CEOs and Entrepreneurs

I’ve had countless conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs, and parents who ask among many things:
 “Why do I keep procrastinating?”
 “Why am I so impatient?”
 “Why do I keep comparing myself or chasing the next thing—and still not feel fulfilled?”

In a recent mastermind session, and thank you Erik Huso for the insights that you brought in, we were discussing when we are thinking of buying or building a puzzle what convinces us in our choice is often made based on the picture on the box.

However, when we try to put together the puzzle without the picture on the box, it’s hard to see how anything fits together. We can form the edges, but the middle feels like chaos.

And then after working for hours or even days we discover that some pieces of the puzzle are missing—or worse, pieces from another puzzle have been mixed in.

The picture on the box no longer matches what’s in front of us.

As I reflected on the message of the puzzle and the picture, I think many of us often struggle with our business execution, attention to detail, or the quality of conversation with our family members.... The part of this that we often ignore is that we have an image of how we would like these things to go, like the image on a puzzle box, but we have the parts of our identity, often subconscious to us, that interfere with the creation of that image.

These “sabotaging puzzle pieces” that drive our identity, are habits of thinking created from parents, teachers, past failures, or cultural expectations--I'm not in control of my ego, my parents were impatient, so I've become impatient, people don’t understand me, so I need to be right, or yield… and those puzzle pieces are often wrapped into "our productivity" but nobody else responds well to it.

Why? Because we are also missing key pieces of clarity, worth, or peace. And no matter how hard we work to “get the picture right,” something feels off.

We don’t live from the life we want; we live from the picture our mind believes is us.

And that internal picture, (Identity) that is driven by habits of thought also drives our behaviors, and behavior drives culture.

This is called predictive processing, and it’s why our identity—the “picture our mind believes is us”—literally sculpts perception and behavior.
 
In my opinion, the key to create the most powerful transformation happens when we finally realize…the picture on our mental box was never fixed—it was always meant to be rewritten by us.

So, if we want to change the culture of our life or leadership, like all of my clients have expressed, we must first examine the internal picture that’s guiding the puzzle we’re unconsciously building every day.

This can only happen when we can clearly see the habits of thinking that are driving our life and our marketplace cultures.

We have a Lazar-accurate tool for identifying those subconscious habits of thinking to accelerate the creation of our “desired puzzle pictures”. Let’s chat.
