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.”
Nitin Khanna, CEO • Archer Insights

Scaling Up Coaches

The Scaling Up system is a specialized set of strategic tools, designed for the Executive Leaders of mid-size companies that are experiencing rapid growth.  

There are four key areas every business leader needs to focus on, and plan ahead for, in order to scale up: People, Strategy, Execution and Cash. 

When a business experiences rapid growth, one or more of these areas tend to go out of balance, creating a “speed wobble” effect – fast and exciting, yet somewhat unstable and unpredictable. This can put a massive strain on the organization and its management team, and if not addressed, can limit scalability or even be detrimental to the future of the business. 

Our strategic planning process keeps the business in balance and alignment. It strengthens the leadership team and clarifies priorities throughout the organization, enabling sustainable growth and profitability that exceeds the industry average.

Scale Up Executive Coach

ActionCOACH

You’re already really, really good at what you do. In fact, you’ve built a decent business by providing good service and working with good people. However, you know your business is capable of more than it’s achieving right now.

The ActionCOACH business coaching process is designed to help business owners build a business that works FOR you, not just BECAUSE of you… whether your goal is to ultimately sell your business, have it produce passive income, or that you just get to do the parts of it that you enjoy. 

My clients achieve an average of 31% growth year over year, increase their personal wealth, and take off more time than ever. In other words, this program is to help you reach the goals that you set out to achieve when you started your business in the first place.

Thanksgiving felt like the right time to share a little behind-the-scenes magic about my team. 

Did you know that the 3 coaches on my team all used to be clients?

Joseph, Julie and Jonathan all built and sold their own businesses, then decided they wanted to help other business owners win.

Was that my intended business model? No. (Seriously, not even a little.)

Did it turn out to be the best accidental strategy ever? Without a doubt.

And Lorin - our Coaching Community Coordinator - she's the one making sure nothing (and no one) falls between the cracks. It's wizardry, I think.

Shout out to our remote team: Erica (Germany), Jocelyn (Temecula), Keira and Sandy (Kansas City) - who couldn't be there for the photo, but make an impact from across the country and around the world!

Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. Happy Thanksgiving!

From the inside, the hamster wheel looks like a ladder.

That’s why so many business owners stay busy and still feel stuck.

If the business only runs smoothly when you do… you don’t own a business, you own a job. 
(And you might think your boss is a lunatic.)

On the other hand, S.Y.S.T.E.M. stands for:
Save 
You 
Stress 
Time 
Energy and 
Money

Systems run the business.
People run the systems.

When you get that right, the business becomes bigger than any one person.

Team members can move seats.

You can take a real vacation.

And the machine keeps running.

Build for freedom, not dependence.

Last year, Forbes reported that expenses grew faster than revenue for most businesses.

The odd thing is, most business owners don’t lack ambition. In fact, they work harder than anyone.

So why do most fail to produce killer results? 

Here are some common reasons I’ve observed:

- No goals/ambiguous goals (pay the bills… do a little better than last year…)
- Too many goals (overwhelm)
- Has ambitious goals, but lack of a clear execution plan leads to spinning wheels

GrowthCLUB is where we fix that.

This isn’t vision boards and matcha.

It’s where ambitious business owners step back, get honest, and map out the game plan for 2026.

P.S. You can wait until January like everyone else. Or you can start now, the way you intend to continue – focused.

🚫 Massive amounts of ideas, and everyone leaves overwhelmed
🚫 Lack of execution

Done right:
✅ Focused priorities
✅ Energize and mobilize the team in the right direction
✅ Get more done in 90 days than most accomplish in a year

This video shares tips for doing it right.

If you’re curious what my strategic planning process is like, comment or message me. I’m happy to chat - no obligation.
