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

One Earth

Founder Linzi Boyd envisioned a Brand new Earth where businesses, industries, and societies come together on a platform for good to campaign based on shared beliefs and to shift the world into a new era.

The world had moved on, yet the way we operate our governments, societies, industries, businesses and education systems have not. Some are outdated, others siloed or too small, few of them purpose-driven, and even fewer recognise the power of coming together to effect change. 

Linzi and her team have created a platform to give everyone an opportunity to unite together and provided the tools, curriculums, and mechanisms they need to apply a purpose-led approach to their lives and businesses.

Kickstarting the Economy and Uniting People on Purpose around the world 🌍

We are striving to enable industries, countries and underprivileged demographics to engage on a level playing field.

Our goal is to provide the infrastructure, resources, and business education in order to create unity and enable people to trade in a non-discriminatory and equal way.

We will stimulate the economy by delivering the One Earth IP system to different countries, especially the demographics and industries to enable a new era of Trade to take place. One that leads with impact and purpose.

2021-2031 will see the biggest shift in history, and more growth in society than ever before.

Join us to Shift the World into a new era by uniting the world on purpose, ensuring that everyone has a platform to be seen and heard.
